At PowerUP, our gas engine overhaul service is a process designed to rejuvenate and extend the lifespan of your engine. Our expert technicians disassemble and inspect the engine, ensuring that each part meets our high standards of quality and efficiency. Worn or damaged consumables are either repaired or replaced with top-quality gas engine parts.
Our overhaul process includes a gas engine upgrade or update with gas engine spare parts to enhance efficiency, reduce emissions, and meet contemporary environmental standards. This service revitalizes your engine, remanufacturing it to near-new condition and ensuring its reliability and efficiency for years to come. In some cases, we can even offer a warranty extension based on the condition of individual components.
Furthermore, we can implement our advanced control systems (EDI or AORA) to monitor your gas engines performance. This leads to quick remote troubleshooting and a decrease of any possible downtime.
According to the gas engine overhaul plan, gas engines from MWM®, INNIO Jenbacher® and others must undergo a complete overhaul after 7 years or approximately 60,000 to 80,000 operating hours.
Based on your requirements and our expertise, we are able to assess the condition of the gas engine using our specialized diagnostic tools and methods. We determine which components truly need to be replaced and which are still suitable for the next cycle.
We guarantee our customers less effort and higher outputs with our optimized spare parts.
Independent Service
With our network in over 40 countries, we offer a manufacturer independent service – worldwide.
Sustainability
We make your engine even more sustainable by extending the service life of your gas engine.
The overhaul process — Re-use instead of throwing away
Several major components, which are typically replaced during a gas engine overhaul, are subjected to thorough scrutiny. They are reused or refurbished if their current condition permits – based on the operating pattern planned by the customer. The service includes:
Inspection and examination of installed components
Compilation of a findings report
Definition of components to be exchanged in consultation with the customer
Cleaning and repair of reused components
Assembly of new and refurbished engine components
Leak and component testing of the engine and its parts
This kind of gas engine overhaul is particularly interesting for areas of application where very few operating hours accrue. In this area, investment costs are of particular importance. However, there is also a high requirement for the reliability of the gas engine.
Peak Shaving Applications
Peak shaving refers to a strategic energy management practice to cover peak loads in the network in the short term. This ensures grid stability, even when solar and wind power plants cannot cover the power consumption momentarily.
Island Operation
Island operation refers to a condition where a power supply system or a power grid operates autonomously and independently of the main power grid. This state often occurs in remote areas or with decentralized energy sources like solar or wind power plants.
In island mode, the plant directly supplies local consumers with generated energy without relying on external power sources. This allows for reliable power supply even in remote regions during disturbances in the main power grid and also in unstable networks.
There are countless applications in which power and heat production can be of great advantage to the user. Either to reduce operating costs of industrial plants or greenhouse applications, to ensure supply security, or to act as a business model as a power and heat producer.
If you need to rent a gas engine to minimize the downtime of your operation, please contact us. Our gas engine rental service also includes a gas engine container solution, which we highly recommend in case of longer overhauls or as a backup unit.
The gas engine container solution is a complete operational genset and can be placed outside your facility, while your gas engine overhaul is in progress.
