The G17 engine, a companion to Volvo Penta’s D17 gen-set engine, represents a significant leap forward in offering fuel flexibility and adaptable performance. This engine sets the stage for more sustainable energy solutions while leveraging Volvo’s extensive global service network.
Built on the renowned D17 platform, the G17 is a 17-liter, 6-cylinder engine that can run on both traditional and renewable natural gas. This dual fuel capability not only helps reduce carbon emissions but also ensures consistent performance reliability.
Capable of utilizing both pipeline-quality natural gas and renewable gas, the G17 engine provides a viable alternative to diesel in applications where uptime and environmental impact are critical. Its versatile design allows for easy integration with existing infrastructure, simplifying installation and eliminating the need for additional fuel-conditioning systems.
Designed to deliver approximately 450 kWe at 1800 rpm, the G17 engine offers powerful output within a compact footprint, saving on installation space and material costs. Its optimized load acceptance ensures reliable performance during peak demand periods and grid transitions.
The G17 engine is engineered to meet stringent emission standards by reducing NOâ‚“ and particulate matter emissions. Equipped with combustion controls, low-pressure Exhaust Gas Recirculation, and a high-efficiency catalyst, it is well-suited for operations subject to strict environmental regulations.
Its compact and scalable design makes the G17 engine ideal for space-constrained environments like data centers. It can be seamlessly integrated into broader energy strategies involving renewable fuels and battery systems, offering flexible solutions to accommodate evolving operational requirements.
Employing Volvo’s automotive-scale technology, the G17 engine features a streamlined component layout that enhances service accessibility and lowers the overall cost of ownership.
