Bergen B gas engine

The B-gas engine’s design philosophy is to achieve increasingly stringent exhaust emission standards, industryleading electrical and heat recovery efficiency and high and dependable power levels to suit today’s and tomorrow’s applications

Bergen Engines AS.
This philosophy draws on over 60 years of reciprocating engine experience and the strengths of our very successful K-gas engine family, first delivered into service in 1991. We took the latest B32:40 hardware and redesigned and modified it for the demands of the gas engine market. We also embraced the best of K-gas combustion and governing technology. The outcome: today’s B-gas engine available in 9- cylinder in-line and 12V, 16V and 20V cylinder configurations. Our philosophy also concentrates on continuous technological development to achieve new standards of higher power and efficiency in the 720 to 750rpm class. The results of this drive include the B-gas engine’s enlarged cylinder volume and optimised combustion technology, delivering class-leading performance without over-stressing the engine.
