Gas is efficient
Producing electricity from gas is highly
efficient. Power plant operation and
maintenance costs are lower than
those burning other fossil fuels.

Gas is flexible
No matter what your requirements are:
power generation, combined heat and
power or Tri-Generation. MAN Diesel
gas engines reliably supply cost-effec-
tive energy.


 Gas Engine
MAN Diesel 32/40PGI

PGI – Spark ignition The innovative No more spark plug

engine without a spark
“Performance Gas Injection” – or just
“PGI”. Behind this abbreviation is
hidden a new, revolutionary gas engine
concept which makes spark plugs
completely unnecessary. With its PGI
engine, MAN Diesel succeeded to
develop an Otto engine with the effec-
tive mean pressure of a state-of-the-art
Diesel engine.
PGI principle
The patented PGI concept is based on
igniting a pilot gas in a pre-chamber;
thus igniting the lean mix gas in the
main combustion chamber.
replacements
As our PGI engine no longer has spark
plugs, you will not have to invest any
time in replacing these.
By using only reliable and approved
industrial components for the PGI
ignition system, we insure long periods
between overhauls (TBO).

 Applications

Irrespectable of your energy needs, be it heating, cooling or electricity,

MAN Diesel PGI gas engines guarantee highest efficiencies at the lowest
emissions. Advantages for your business and the environment.

protection. Depending on the applica-
tion, heat from the production process
of electricity can be used in many diffe-
rent ways.

Remote

Power plants in remote areas do not

typically struggle with space-limiting
restrictions. The environmental
requirements in these areas normally
do not exceed the Worldbank‘s envi-
ronmental regulations.


 Modular Design
Flexible
MAN Diesel gas power plants are built
in a modular manner. This offers you
maxi­mum flexibility, whatever you re-
quire:urban, industrial or remote zone
design – or for the future extension of
your plant.

Fast
Modular construction means that only
standardised and well-proven modules
will be utilised in the construction of
your power plant.
This helps to save time in project plan-
ning and construction without losing
quality and reliability.
