The Cat® DG500 gas generator set delivers 500 ekW for standby, demand response and limited-time power applications. Its CG18 engine combines fuel efficient performance with solid construction for dependable long-term operation.
The CG18 shares approximately 90% of its engine hardware with the Cat C18 diesel platform, bringing proven components to a natural gas configuration.
A lean air-fuel ratio promotes fuel efficiency, while lower exhaust temperatures help reduce thermal stress on engine components.
An in-line six-engine layout uses fewer parts than comparable V10 and V12 configurations, simplifying maintenance and supporting reliable operation.
Up to 1414 skVA at 30% voltage dip provides the capability to start large, connected motors during an outage.
Bolt-on attachments provide options for expanding the system as operating needs change.
