Waukesha* gas engines

VHP*
L7042GL
987 - 1480 BHP (736 - 1104 kWb)

VHP engines have been powering the worlds energy
infrastructuredriving compressors in gas gathering,
processing and transmission operations and providing
electrical power for oil and gas fields in remote corners of
the globe for over five decades.
Backed by more than a century of engine building
experience, GEs Waukesha engines are a sound
investment that offer durable designs that perform
reliably in remote applications and tolerance for variable
fuel quality that maximizes power output, uptime and
profitability.
