Operating on the lean burn principle to reduce peak temperatures and lower NOx emissions, the Wärtsilä 16V34DF is a versatile multi-fuel engine generating set that ensures seamless switching between different fuels. This flexibility allows operators to maintain energy security even when faced with price instability or supply challenges. The 16V34DF can run on natural gas or any liquid fuel, including heavy fuel oil (HFO), and meets stringent emission limits with exhaust gas after treatment. With a rated electrical power of 7830 kW at 50 Hz and 7491 kW at 60 Hz, the 16V34DF delivers high efficiency, reaching up to 48.6% in gas mode and 45.8% in HFO mode. The engine is based on the well-proven Wärtsilä 32 engine, known for its reliability since the mid-1990s. It can achieve full load within just two minutes of a fast start, ensuring rapid response to grid demands. With more than 1,000 generating sets delivered, Wärtsilä’s commitment to lifecycle support guarantees the performance and efficiency of the 16V34DF.
