Type 2 C/D to F Upgrade
When you upgrade your Jenbacher Type J208 engine to the latest F-version technology, you can increase total efficiency while reducing the engine’s fuel consumption.
Upgrade for:
What can this upgrade do for you?
- Greater efficiency and high output Up to 3% points efficiency increase (based on engine version) and up to 360 kWel
- Lower THC emissions A smaller environmental footprint with the carryover of the 3F-technology. This helps you comply with your country’s THC-emission regulations (such as the requirements of the 44th BImSchV in Germany).
- Reduced oil cost Less oil management requirements and lower oil life-cycle costs with smaller lube oil consumption and a longer lube oil lifetime. Moreover, the use of Jenbacher oils enables the extension of both filter life and service intervals.
- Amortization period In average within two years (pending on application and initial engine version)
- Convenient upgrade Applied at your site during a minor overhaul or at the Jenbacher Overhaul Technology Center as part of a major overhaul
- Greater runtime (optional) Maintenance schedule updated to 3.3k–40k–80k oph if your engine still runs on a 2k–30k–60k oph maintenance plan
How we get you there?
The efficiency upgrade can be applied anytime—ideally during a minor or major overhaul—and includes an engine upgrade, control software, and settings update. A key feature of the Type 2F engine is a new four-valve cylinder head and enhanced camshaft for better gas exchange. Paired with a new power unit that delivers improved combustion, the upgrade results in significantly increased fuel efficiency and lower total hydrocarbon content (THC). Its enhanced cooling concept, along with new valve and valve seat materials, translates to a robust package that can handle challenging applications.
Typical engine upgrade scope:
— Carryover of 3F-design camshaft and 4V cylinder head exchange (including valve train adaption)
— New pistons and liner
— New intercooler
— Turbocharger modification, depending on engine version and application (version C with new turbocharger)
— Crankcase ventilation system upgrade, if applicable
— Ignition and knock system upgrade
— OEM documentation update
