D9916
Power generation
The D9916, part of the Liebherr D99 engine series, is designed to deliver dependable power for mission-critical applications requiring higher output. Engineered for genset installations in demanding environments such as data centers and industrial facilities, it ensures consistent performance for both continuous and standby operation. Its robust architecture integrates a single-stage turbocharging system, a high-efficiency blow-by system, and Liebherr’s advanced injection technology. Combined with a coolant-cooled Engine Control Unit, the D9916 ensures stable and reliable operation. With a mechanical power output ranging from 1,947 kW to 3,230 kW at 50 Hz, and from 2,280 kW to 3,490 kW at 60 Hz, the engine operates at 1,500 rpm for 50 Hz applications and 1,800 rpm for 60 Hz applications. High-efficiency oil and fuel filtration systems support reduced maintenance requirements and contribute to enhanced availability. Please note that this engine is currently part of an exclusive partnership and is not commercially available.
