Characteristics
4 of 4 fields · all sourced · retrieved 2026-11-01The J620 is the "workhorse" of Jenbacher's Type 6 family: a V20-cylinder gas engine for power generation with electrical output up to 3,509 kW and electrical efficiency up to 45.8%, depending on the fuel. The ratings recorded in this entry (3,349 kW, 44.8%) are those of the biogas version at 50 Hz. It is positioned as a suitable choice for medium and large power plants across numerous industries. It can run on natural gas, biogas, sewage gas, landfill gas, coal mine gas and associated petroleum gas (flare gas), at 50 Hz or 60 Hz. The scope of supply covers a generator set, installed in a building or in a container, or a combined heat and power (CHP) module that produces power and heat at the same time, with total efficiency of up to 95%. Both the genset and the CHP module are also available as containerized versions, and balance of plant options such as SCR and oxidation catalysts, exhaust gas heat exchangers and cooling radiators can be added.
