Waukesha Engine Division of Dresser Industries is developing a new family of gaseous fueled, spark ignited engines. Derived from the Waukesha/Silzer AT25 diesel engine family, the AT25GL series consists of three models - the 8L-AT25GL (in-line 8 cylinder), the 12V-AT25GL (vee 12 cylinder), and the 16V-AT25GL (vee 16 cylinder). Like its sister engine, the VHP-GL, the AT25GL utilizes lean combustion technology. As such, it is inherently fuel efficient and emits low levels of nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide and unburnt hydrocarbons. Targeted for two primary markets, electric power generation and gas compression, the AT25GL is rated at 170 KW per cylinder at 1000 rpm and 154 KW per cylinder at 900 rpm. This paper outlines Waukesha's initial effort in this program - design and development of the 12V-AT25GL.
