Dresser Waukesha, a leading manufacturer of natural gas engines that deliver clean, cost-effective power, has introduced its 275GL™ Series engines, a new generation of high-performance engines for the gas compression market.
The new 275GL Series combines the robust construction and reliable operation of Waukesha’s ATGL® Series with design and engineering updates and an enhanced engine control system.  The result is a new, high-performance engine series that enables customers to maximize efficiency and minimize fuel cost while greatly simplifying and improving packaging, operation and service.
The 275GL Series has been designed with factory-mounted lube oil and cooling systems, which reduce the time and cost required to design, fabricate, and integrate the 275GL into a compressor package.  Other features include an upgraded oil filtration system with plate-type oil cooler and spin-on disposable lube oil filter elements, and quick disconnects for ignition coils and thermocouples.  These improvements, along with new design features that are common to both the 12- and 16-cylinder models, streamline and optimize the 275GL Series.
The 16-cylinder (16V275GL) version of the 275GL engine is available now and is rated at 4500 bhp; the 12-cylinder (12V275GL) model will be available in the fourth quarter of 2009 and will be rated at 3375 bhp, eight percent higher than the 12-cylinder ATGL model.
