G855 And GTA855.

Natural Gas Engines For Gas Compression.

G855 And GTA855.


Designed specifically for the oil and gas market, the
G855 and GTA855 deliver exceptional dependability
and low cost of operation in wellhead, gas lift and
gathering compression applications. The G855 and
GTA855 are turbocharged and aftercooled for power and
responsiveness, while an array of ratings lets you tailor
performance to meet your application and environmental
needs. The G855 and GTA855 have a factory warranty of
1 year/unlimited hours.

Standard Features And Benefits.


Base engine Many major components, including the
block, crank, cam, gears, water pumps and liners, are
common with the well-proven N Series diesel engine,
with decades of dependable service in a wide range
of industrial applications. Natural gas-specific heads
and cylinders are designed for optimal air flow, fuel flow
and combustion for emissions-compliance durability in
stoichiometric operation.
Flywheel and flywheel housing Cast iron, including
provisions for 5/8-18 and/or 3/4-16 magnetic pickup, is
machined to accommodate starter mounting on either
side of the housing.
Power Take-Off (PTO) A front stub shaft is standard
for driving the compressor cooler fan.
Air handling Choose between the naturally aspirated
G855 for simple, effective operation, or the turbocharged
and aftercooled GTA855 for enhanced performance and
power density.
Fuel system An IMPCO carburetor provides stable
operation and fuel tracking across a range of fuel qualities
and through all load ranges.
Speed control A hydromechanical governor provides
adjustable speed and stable control under all load
conditions. Electronic governor options are available.
I gnition system A capacitive-discharge ignition module
delivers dependable spark performance and easy timing
adjustment. The easily accessible spark-plug location and
a single coil per cylinder improve serviceability.
Starting system The standard system features
a robust Delco Remy 39MT 24-volt starter with an
SAE #3 mounting flange. A gas starter is optional.
Electrical system Includes a 24-volt alternator.

Lubrication system Deep, full-length, high-capacity


oil pan for extended drain intervals. Combo full-flow and
bypass oil filters reduce maintenance costs while extending
service intervals.
Cooling system Both engines utilize a gear-driven
jacket-water pump. The GTA855 features a two-pump/
two-loop cooling system with gear-driven auxiliary coolant
pump for a separate thermostat-controlled aftercooling
circuit to maintain low intake manifold temperatures.
Exhaust system A watercooled manifold is standard on
both engines.
Emissions system The G855 and GTA855 have
available catalyst ratings to allow the engine to be operated
as a rich-burn engine, and can be customer-equipped
with an AFR and catalyst to meet NSPS emissions
requirements. The GTA855 also has export-only ratings.
