12,920 HP V20 Engine in a Cogeneration Powerplant

- A Walkaround of an INNIO Jenbacher J920 Flextra V20 Gas Engine in the Küstenkraftwerk Kiel Cogeneration Powerplant. Five 9,500 kW Gensets form one of the four Blocks of the Powerplant, so there are 20 such Engines installed with 190 MW Electric Power in total. In Winter, up to 192 MW of District Heating can be reclaimed from the Exhaust Gas and Cooling Water. there The Engine is stopped because I visited the Powerplant in a Field Trip by my Marine Engineering Class. We couldn't see a running Engine for Insurance Reasons.

Thanks for posting. That is a nice and clean engine room. Looks like a good place to work.
In my Experience, Powerplants generally are in much better Condition than Ships, and there isn't much to make a Mess besides Lube Oil, as it burns Natural Gas. Lube Oil is easy to clean, especially compared to Bunker Oil. Plus the Powerplant is very new, it was completed in late 2019 so it was exactly two Years old when I recorded the Video.
@@Genius_at_Work I'm looking forward to watching all of your videos, you do nice work 👍
@@Joseph-dr6si IMHO, you can see the Quality gradually improving if you watch the Videos chronological, espcecially over the last two Years. I've got more Videos coming up, but have to see how I can upload them as I'm currently living without proper Internet Access. Some Things that I'm currently working on include the unique Steam Engine on the Lake Lucerne Paddle Steamer Stadt Luzern, a 100 Year old Electric Locomotive, and a 100 Year old Hydro Power Station in Germany. I'd like to make similar Videos to this one here about two Ferries in Germany, but these kind of Videos are quite a bit harder to make than the ones mentioned above, due to ISPS (International Ship and Port Security) Restrictions, so I can't promise these Videos as the Approval by the Ferry Operator is still pending.
Very interesting. Capturing waste energy and using it for heating is a fantastic idea.
Nice vid, thanks for sharing. 116psi, that’s a lot of boost! Had to read that one a couple of times, didn’t know those big engines ran at such high pressure
Thanks, but I'm not overly pleased with it. I had to make do with the limited Footage that I could record during the Tour, so everything seems a little rushed and you have to be a fast Reader to actually catch all Information without having to pause or re-watch. Usually, I do better than that.
8 bar really is a lot, the Marine Engines I work with usually have about 2 bar Charge Air Pressure. This Engine is designed for constantly running at design Speed (quite obvious for Gensets) and at full Load; the Powerplant just switches Generators on and off depending on Demand but doesn't go into partial Load. This greatly helps at designing an ideal Charge Air System. Plus Natural Gas is less prone to knocking; it has an Octane Rating of about 130 so you can boost the Engine much more than you could with a normal Petrol Engine.
@@Genius_at_Work Thanks for the reply, I understand what you mean by ideal conditions but it’s still an impressive amount especially for such a large engine. I remember talking to some tractor pull guys and they were getting 350+ psi from 3 stages but of course this was only for very limited times. Strange to think of an engine having more cylinder pressure at BDC than some have at TDC. I got to talking to them because I had helped push their broken tractor back in the trailer, and when I asked what had happened he removed the side cover revealing an engine broken completely in half, the top was pushed up about 6” and only the liners were holding it together
Jenbacher engines in Kiel. Good plant.
Very interesting plant, it's so efficient. If only there was a way to perform "cogeneration" on vehicles like cars and trucks, think about what that would mean for fuel usage!
There is, guess why you can use the Heating to cool down the Engine if it overheats. It only uses Waste Heat from the Cooling Water though, Exhaust Gas "Boilers" would be way too complicated and heavy for Automotive Use. Ships have proper Exhaust Gas Boilers though, that produce Steam and not just hot Water. The Steam is used for Heating too, but the Difference is that Ships need way more Heat as it's not just Domnestic Heating but Process Heat too. Large Ships even use Steam to drive Turbine Generator, but these have very complicated Two-Stage Boilers.
👍👍
MTU 4000 diesel engines run with boost of 6 bar
Looks like a pielstic engine
It's a Jenbacher from Austria. Jenbacher used to belong to General Electric until recently, if Pielstick was/is GE too may explain the Similarity.
RUclips marked your Comment as Spam for some Reason btw. That's the Reason for the late Reply, as I check my Spam Filter every few Days only.
@@Genius_at_Work Had the GE stamp on the valve covers. Very good video. I just paused everything and just chugged slowly along. A-PLUS!
