Applications
Wellhead compression applications require reliability and durability not found in every natural gas engine. For dependable operations and world class support, you need the Cummins GTA8.3SLB – an emission compliant, high-performance natural gas engine that shares the proven heritage of the Cummins C Series diesel engines and many of the same heavy-duty components. You can depend on the GTA8.3SLB to stay emissions compliant, keep maintenance costs down and the gas flowing. Every day.
Features & Benefits
Designed for the oil and gas market, the GTA8.3SLB delivers exceptional dependability and low cost of operation.
Base Engine – Most major components, including block, crank, cam, gears and liners are common with the proven C series diesel.
Emissions – Lean burn combustion EPA certified to the 2008 SI NSPS emissions. Site validation test is not required.
Air/Fuel Ratio Control – Oxygen sensor-based air/fuel ratio control maintains emissions rate and fuel consumption. Display shows O2, control valve position and fault codes and provides for user input.
Air Handling – Turbocharged and aftercooled design delivers reliable performance and life.
Fuel System – Impco carburetor provides stable operation and fuel tracking through all load ranges.
Speed Control – ECM based speed control and an integral throttle body and actuator provides precise and stable rpm control under all load conditions.
Ignition System – Cummins Programmable Control Ignition Module provides precision control by cylinder and optimal spark-voltage output for superior combustion control.
Lubrication System – High-capacity oil pan and combination full-flow and bypass oil filter reduce maintenance costs and extend service intervals.
Commonality – All electronic Cummins gas compression engines utilize common AFR control components and strategy to minimize parts and maximize technician effectiveness.
Warranty – Cummins one year, unlimited hours. Backed by a worldwide distributor network.
