Jenbacher type 3
Efficient, durable, reliable
Long service intervals, maintenance-friendly engine design and
low fuel consumption ensure maximum efficiency in our type 3
engines. Enhanced components prolong service life even when
using non-pipeline gases such as landfill gas. The new type 3D
generation offers an outstanding service interval with up to
80,000 operating hours until the major overhaul. This engine
type stands out in its 500 to 1,100 kW power range due to its
technical maturity and high degree of reliability.
