VIRTUS Standard Gensets
The VIRTUS standard gensets consist of standardized components, which can be quickly, and simply combined to form a complete system suited to the particular application required.
Each of the sub-systems in the genset is carefully selected and precisely tailored to provide an exact match with MTU's Series 2000 and 4000 diesel engines. As a result, customers benefit from:
- High levels of reliability
- High load reserve
- Low fuel consumption
- Excellent load acceptance
- Low maintenance requirement
In addition, large-scale series production also means additional cost benefits for the customer.
Whether in single or multiple set-ups, the VIRTUS intelligent monitoring and control systems ensure that operating parameters are constantly maintained at the optimum level and that operation remains as simple as possible.
Diesel engines for standby, base-load and peak-load gensets
The demands on drive units for these classic application categories are high: High specific power, long service intervals, dependable starting and reliability in continuous operation - even with frequent load fluctuations - are just a few examples.
With MTU diesel engines for gensets, there is no need to make any sort of compromise. No matter what the application, the technical design concept of the various engines will allow precise planning and tailoring to suit your individual requirements.
All these advantages add up to a degree of overall plant efficiency, which optimally matches each specific application.
Standby, short-break and no-break gensets
Standby power, security power, short-break gensets and no-break gensets are all systems designed to restore electric power to the consumer either immediately or after a defined delay following an outage in the mains supply.
These plants are used in sectors where an interruption in supply or a power outage would spell a real danger to people or property or would entail major economic loss.
Gas engine systems
Take any branch of the economy and you can be sure that energy will represent a major cost factor, which needs to be reduced as far as possible.
For our cogeneration plants we combine specially selected sub-components with our gas engine gensets and modules to create a fully balanced system.
Optimally configured plant control and monitoring systems obviously form part of this whole. These systems are precision-tailored to match each customer's exact requirements and to guarantee intelligent operation control. Load fluctuations or changes in gas quality are detected immediately and the relevant control variables are adjusted to ensure that the plant always runs efficiently.
The design concepts for our modules and gensets, including the gas engine as the core component, reflect the particular emphasis we place on ease and convenience of maintenance. Careful design and layout mean that service work can be carried out easily, quickly and, therefore, extremely economically.
