Latest Waukesha engine upgrade increases uptime and reduces emissions

WAUKESHA, Wisconsin – September 5, 2024 — INNIO Group announces its newest Waukesha VHP P9390X engine upgrade designed for simpler operation and increased reliability. The VHP P9390X upgrade offers operators the latest engine technology, extending the life of the equipment by 60% while lowering downtime and reducing emissions across various operating conditions.

The VHP P9390X has a power output of 1980 BHP, operates at speeds between 900-1,200 rpm, and can handle a 10% overload capacity. It directly replaces existing VHP P9390 engines. Operators can achieve Waukesha VHP P9390X engine performance by exchanging their existing VHP P9390 engine for a Waukesha reUp factory remanufactured swing engine or by applying an upgrade kit in-place during their next overhaul.

“The Waukesha VHP P9390X engine upgrade is an excellent solution for customers planning a major overhaul in the next year or two, for customers with emission compliance concerns, and for those with growing digital operations,” said Pier Parisi, Vice President of Sales and Services for INNIO Group's Waukesha brand. “They’ll lower operating costs and downtime while meeting emissions regulations.”

The engine update includes:

• ESM2 controls: This single integrated engine control system offers data trending and analysis, troubleshooting guides and manuals, and remote monitoring capabilities.
• xCooled cylinder heads: Offering an increased lifetime of up to 60% and up to 40% cooler valve temperatures, xCooled cylinder heads can reduce parts cost and downtime, while a redesigned exhaust path minimizes hot spots.
• Series Four pistons: With reduced oil consumption by as much as 67%, Series Four pistons can bring significant cost savings.
• Optional emPact emission control system: Offered in standard configurations to match local emissions regulations, the emPact catalyst is controlled and monitored from the ESM2 HMI, allowing automatic adjustments to help achieve and maintain emissions compliance.
• Advanced crankcase breather: With the advanced breather, the Waukesha engine gains up to 90% less oil blow-by, less oil contamination of the three-way catalyst, reduced coking for fewer oil leaks, and 8,000-hour service intervals.

 

INNIO Group’s Waukesha VHP P9390 engines have delivered decades of reliable performance in the harshest conditions and can be found in over 40 countries.
