Highlights of Jenbacher Type 3F engines
Building on its proven heritage, the new Type 3F 50 Hz engine now leads the way with next-generation technology innovation that delivers an up to 2 percentage point efficiency boost compared to earlier engine versions—up to 1,065 kWe—without sacrificing its proven reliability or robustness.
In addition to delivering efficiency as high as 43.2% when operating on pipeline gas, the Type 3F engine is optimized for reduced total hydrocarbon (THC) emissions, future-proof fuel flexibility, and enhanced serviceability.
Moreover, the latest 3F technology is retrofittable for the most of the installed Type 3 fleet.

Optimized for better gas exchange and improved cooling, the new cylinder head also delivers reduced THC emissions, improved combustion, and more robust valve and valve seat materials.
New power unit
Our new aluminum piston design helps minimize crevice volume for reduced THC emissions, improved combustion, and reduced oil consumption. Other key aspects of the design include a new piston bowl shape, liner, and scraper ring.
New knock control & ignition system
This enhanced system delivers better engine protection, more efficient combustion, and easier serviceability.
New valve train (4V)
A new valve train with a floating bridge makes service easier.
New camshaft
Our new camshaft gives you increased charge efficiency and enhanced Miller timing. Plus, your THC emissions are reduced, and you get better gas exchange.

DOMINIKUS-RINGEISEN-WERK (DRW)
“We have been relying on Jenbacher Type 3 engines since 2000. Based on the positive experience with the upgrade of the first engine to the new 3F generation model in 2020, it was an easy decision for us to implement the upgrade with the second and the third engine because they always operate reliably. Thanks to the improved fuel usage of the modern 3F generation engine, we have been able to do both — increase our profitability and reduce our environmental footprint.”

SOREMA
“Our home textile company SOREMA, established in 1976, has reaffirmed our confidence in Jenbacher by replacing a J312 D05 container with this new generation J316 F02. We are continuing with the same type of maintenance contract coverage, but this time the main maintenance intervals were favorably extended to 40/80,000 operating hours. We improved our electrical efficiency from 40.8% to 41.6% with this new 3F version, and at the same time the NOX emissions were reduced by 50% to comply with the latest emissions requirements. The recoverable thermal power increased by 83 kW, improving our production of thermal energy, which is used in our dyeing process. The new version of the DIA.NE XT4 HMI remote control program is more developed, allowing better engine performance control.”

AIZ STRASS IM ZILLERTAL
“After more than 80,00 operating hours with the existing Jenbacher Type 3 engine, we made the clear decision to again rely on Type 3 technology with the next generation 3F as the replacement. The exchange was simple and smooth. Right from the start, the J312F delivered both power and heat with the same reliability as before, but with a clearly noticeable increase in efficiency. As a result, more power and heat can be made available for internal processes from the volume of gas produced. The new module thus plays an important role in reducing operating costs and the environmental footprint of our wastewater treatment plant.”
