The CG170 series is a small footprint and high power output make it ideal as a containerized power plant. The air-fuel mixture inlet section and the pre-chamber spark plugs have been optimized, improving combustion, and increasing efficiency. High-efficiency performance is achieved by establishing precise control of combustion in individual cylinders, a technology that also increases the units' reliability by balancing the load of each cylinder across the engine. The maintenance intervals for oil changes and spark plug replacement are designed to occur at the same time, reducing unit downtime. Oil consumption is reduced by up to 50 percent relative to some competitive models, which is a savings of 1,900 litres of oil per year for this model.
