Waukesha Gas Engines’ Post

Power isn’t always guaranteed, and when you’re running critical equipment, that’s a problem. Waukesha mechanical drive systems solve this by removing the need for external electricity altogether. Engines deliver torque directly to pumps, chillers, blowers and compressors - keeping systems online, no matter where you're operating. Here’s what that means in practice: • No transformers, power cables or reliance on grid access • Fewer components, making maintenance and repairs more straightforward • Efficient power transfer - with no energy lost to conversion • Operates on natural gas, propane, field gas and other available fuels • Offers both continuous- and intermittent-duty options, depending on the engine More than 1,800 Waukesha engines have been shipped for mechanical drive use over the past 25 years - supporting critical applications in water management, waste treatment, and oil & gas. Our Waukesha 275GL+, VHP, and VGF engines are built for reliable performance no matter the location or conditions.
