Jenbacher J612
Type 6
Jenbacher J612 Type 6 lean-burn natural-gas engine for generator and CHP service. Jenbacher publishes up to 2,000 kWe at 50 Hz and 1,986 kWe at 60 Hz at generator terminals, with electrical efficiency up to 45.6%. The 60 Hz package uses a gearbox while the engine remains at 1,500 rpm. Output and emissions depend on gas quality, NOx configuration, voltage and site conditions; the published NOx variants are not an EPA Tier or EU Stage engine certification.
