Major overhaul - possible options

In 99% of cases, it is not possible to carry out a high-quality overhaul of high-power gas piston engines on site. This is due to the lack of specialized tools and machines, the need to attract a wide range of highly specialized personnel, and the lack of free space.

In addition, an excellent opportunity to improve the design of the engine and its individual elements is lost, which appears due to the emergence of new materials and technologies.

In this regard, 2G Energy offers 2 possible options for the overhaul of gas piston engines, which allow satisfying both the wishes of the Customer and the strict requirements of the manufacturer for the quality of the repair:

  • Overhaul of the engine in the workshop of the manufacturer 2G Energy; The owner receives his own repaired engine, improved to the current level of technology development. With an optimal ratio of cost and quality of the result, this option is characterized by a long downtime of the power plant.
  • Replacing the engine with the same new one or one that has already undergone a major overhaul at the manufacturer’s factory; This option is characterized by minimal cost and minimal plant downtime, but requires re-commissioning by 2G Energy personnel at the installation site.

In any case, all wear parts will be replaced and the assembled engine thoroughly tested on the manufacturer’s test bench.

During the overhaul in the workshop of the manufacturer, the following work is carried out:

  • crankcase: inspection, cleaning, if necessary boring holes for crankshaft bearings, cylinder liners, new camshaft bearings;
  • crankshaft: inspection, if possible, reuse grinding No. 1, No. 2;
