2.5 Technical Data
2.5.1 Runtimes at partial load
Gas engines were designed and optimized for continuous operation at 100 % load.
The following restrictions apply to ensure maximum operational availability of the engine plant and to
reduce maintenance to a minimum:
Power, referenced to nominal
load
Recommended maximum run-

Table 3: Runtimes at partial load
A minimum operating time of 2 hours per start is recommended to counteract increased engine loading
resulting from temperature changes (cold start to engine operating temperature).
