Is that an MTU genset in your avatar? air filters gave it away. We have one also 1.2mw and have just done 110% load test on it. Made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up, somewhere around 3000bhp i think. Those 4 turbos were busy.
We also have 2x 30mw gas turbines and compressors each capable of blowing 100million cubic metres of gas at 85bar (1200psi) per day down the pipes to keep your fires burning.
There is also a couple of 15mw Cyclones and a couple of old Rolls Royce Avons as standby. Replacement oil pump for an Avon is £80,000 and engine is around £400,000. Thay last around 40.000 hours though (10yrs avg)
I have the job of fixing that lot (theres only me)and some of the plant is over 30yrs old.Makes the Stag a doddle.
Sorry to bore y`all but im sitting here waiting for a delivery of air filters to keep me busy for a fortnight changing them. There are 740 costing £72,000 the lot though im trying to get a discount.
Now you know why gas is dear
