SCHNELL Product Lines
Perfect Cogeneration
for Every Plant
and Gas.
The heart of every on-site energy generation plant is its combined heat and power
(CHP) unit. Because it produces heat and electricity, it is more efficient than
conventional generation and delivers higher yields. Each situation is different, though.
That’s why you need a CHP unit tailored to your unique circumstances and energy
strategy. All SCHNELL modules come with grid stabilization functionality and are
certified under a Unit Certificate for the BDEW Medium Voltage Guideline.

B-Line
A Sound Investment:
BlueRail CHP.
There is only one way to squeeze more profit out of the same space: efficiency. B-Line
CHP units with BlueRail technology are the efficiency leaders of spark-ignited gas
gensets. They offer electrical efficiencies of up to 46 percent.
Add value through
repowering
Technology for high
efficiency: BlueRail
Superior efficiency with
the B-Line
Exporting biogas-sourced power to
the grid is particularly profitable if the
energy is generated efficiently in a
continuous duty operation. The CHP
units in SCHNELL’s B-Line are an ideal
choice for new systems or expansions
of existing systems. You can maximize
your yields with a B-Line CHP unit from
SCHNELL.
The SCHNELL B-Line owes its
efficiency to a clever combustion
process: Specially developed BlueRail
injection technology ensures rapid
gas combustion. The more complete
combustion raises motor efficiency
and lowers emissions. The B-Line is
a reliable, high-performance power
generator based on rugged, proven
Scania engines.
In Focus Test, Deutsche
Landwirtschaftsgesellschaft (German
Agricultural Society – DLG) certified
that the 6R20.1BO with 250 kW output
achieved an electrical efficiency of up

Dual fuel technology:
cold start champion
Dual fuel CHP units
in action
For over 23 years, farmers across
Europe have trusted the reliability of
SCHNELL’s dual fuel CHP units. Their
solid, rugged construction has made
them perennial favorites among biogas
CHP units. With a Z-Line CHP unit from
SCHNELL, you can efficiently and
reliably convert the energy contained
in lean gas into heat and electricity.
Providing reserve power is particularly
easy with SCHNELL Z-Line units
because they start and run so reliably,
regardless of temperature or gas
composition.
Z-Line CHP units are based on diesel
engines that have the high compression
ratio needed for efficient biogas
combustion. To ensure ideal ignition,
a small amount of pilot fuel is injected
into the compressed gas-air mixture.
Lean gases such as biogas, sewage
gas or landfill gas have highly variable
compositions. The Z-Line can adjust
perfectly to changes so you get the
most out of your gas.
With its high efficiency and
controllability, the Z-Line is a workhorse
of the renewable revolution that
integrates seamlessly and profitably
with virtual power plants or similar
arrangements.

SCHNELL Technologies
Our Energy Goes into
Technology.
Spark ignition technology
BlueRail ignition system
Dual fuel technology
For natural gas and biogas – G-Line
For biogas – B-Line
For biogas – Z-Line
Spark ignition is a proven
technology with a broad range of
applications. Spark plugs reliably
ignite the gas-air mixture in the
combustion chamber after being
compressed by the turbo charger.
Our engines are optimized for
biogas and natural gas and convert
them into heat and power highly
efficiently.
In the BlueRail process, gas is
injected into the cylinders at very
high pressure.
Our dual fuel gensets are based on
diesel engines. Since diesel engines
have high compression ratios, they
can combust lean gases particularly
efficiently. In the dual fuel system,
pilot fuel is injected into the
combustion chamber to ensure full
ignition of the compressed gas-air
mixture.
Benefits of this tried-and-true
technology: robust operation and
low maintenance costs.
Some of the biogas is ignited by
special spark plugs in a special
prechamber of the combustion
chamber. The resulting flame cleanly
and efficiently ignites and burns
the gas-air mixture in the main
combustion chamber. This process
achieves extremely high electrical
efficiency in biogas operation.
Our Z-Line dual fuel CHP units start
up reliably and handle fluctuations in
gas composition gracefully.
From the day our company was founded, we have focused on finding the most efficient
way to combust lean gases. These gases are highly knock-resistant and cannot be
fired properly by conventional diesel and gas engines. Following decades of in-house
research and development, we now supply CHP units based on three technologies that
efficiently utilize the energy from biogas and natural gas.
