Jenbacher Type 2: J208

THE NEXT GENERATION JENBACHER TYPE 2F ENGINE
The reference for durability and reliability – now with higher efficiency!

Introduced in 1976, the Jenbacher Type 2 engine offers high efficiency with a durable and reliable design.

The stationary engine provides excellent durability, while enhanced components and proven control and monitoring give the Type 2 engine outstanding reliability.

More than 1,300 engines delivered since 1976.

J208 – efficient L8-cylinder power generation solution for small-/mid-scale businesses.

        Highlights of Jenbacher Type 2F engines

        Building on its proven heritage, the new Jenbacher Type 2F 50 Hz engine now leads the way with next-generation technology innovation that delivers up to a 3 percentage point efficiency boost compared to the earlier engine versions and now up to 360 kWel output without sacrificing its proven reliability or robustness.

        In addition to delivering efficiency as high as 41.8% when operating on pipeline gas, the Type 2F engine is optimized for reduced total hydrocarbon (THC) emissions, future-proof fuel flexibility, and enhanced serviceability.

        Moreover, the latest 2F technology is retrofittable for most of the installed Jenbacher Type 2 fleet.

        Innovative design features

        Jenbacher Type 3F Cylinder Head Bearb

        New cylinder head (4V)

        The new cylinder head has been optimized for better charge exchange and improved cooling. It also offers reduced THC emissions, optimized combustion, and more robust material pairings for valves and valve seats.

        Jenbacher Type 2F Power Unit

        New power unit

        The new connecting rod of the 2F series enables the use of the established piston from the 3F series. This contributes to the lower clearance and thus enables lower THC emissions, better combustion, and lower oil consumption. Other important aspects of the design include a new piston bowl shape and new cylinder liners and scraper rings.

        Jenbacher Type 2F Intercooler

        New intercooler

        The new intercooler offers 40% more power with an intercooler water temperature (ICWT) of 70° C and, therefore, use of the entire mixture’s heat. This not only leads to higher overall efficiency but also to simple installation and a reduction in auxiliary power for the low-temperature circuit.

        Jenbacher Type 3F Valve Train

        New valve train (4V)

        A new valve train with a floating bridge makes service easier.

        Jenbacher Type 3F Camshaft

        New camshaft

        The new Miller camshaft enables greater efficiency of the charge exchange and thus contributes to improved engine efficiency. It also reduces THC emissions.

        Jenbacher Type 2F Ignition Box

        New ignition box

        This latest-generation ignition system, also adopted from the 3F series, enables efficient combustion.

         

        Scope of supply:

        The Combined Heat and Power Module (CHP Module) allows you to generate power and heat simultaneously at very high total efficiencies, reaching 90% and even more.

        Typical scope of supply:

        • Engine and alternator installed on the frame
        • Control panel, gas train
        • Heat exchangers, including exhaust gas heat exchanger

        CHP Modules can generate hot water or steam at various parameters and can be integrated with your existing heat infrastructure. You can select the option that fits your project’s needs among the various heat recovery schemes provided by INNIO Group.

        The scope of supply can be extended further with various balance of plant (BOP) options. Reach out to our specialists for help in selecting scope of supply and BOP options to fulfill your project’s needs.

        CHP Modules can be installed inside a building or container. To see more details about INNIO Group’s Jenbacher containerized solutions, click here.

        Balance of Plant (BOP)

        The right auxiliary equipment is of critical importance in ensuring that a power solution is economically feasible and provides your business with reliability, availability, and efficiency. Click on the provided BOP options to learn more.
        Reach out to our experts to select the configuration that fits your business’ needs.

        Available BOP elements may vary, depending on the engine and application type.

        • Higher output

          Output of up to 360 kWel without compromising on proven reliability and robustness

        • Reduced THC emissions

          For a smaller ecological footprint

        • Lower oil life-cycle costs

          Lower oil consumption and longer service life of the lubricating oil

        • Convenient upgrade

          Upgrade installed engines to the latest technology at any time - ideally during a minor or major overhaul.

        • Future-proof fuel flexibility

          The future-proofed F-generation Type 2 fuels include renewable energy sources such as biogas and energy sources such as propane or special gases. It is also possible to equip the engine with a "Ready for Hydrogen" option.
