This complete piston kit includes all critical components required for piston replacement during scheduled overhauls or corrective maintenance.

Engineered for Performance & Durability

The Guascor HGM / SFGLD Complete Piston Kit (1915210) is a precision-engineered solution designed to withstand extreme thermal loads, combustion pressures, and continuous operation typical of industrial gas engines used in power generation, biogas plants, and CHP installations.

Each component in this kit plays a vital role in ensuring:

• High combustion efficiency

• Reduced oil consumption

• Stable compression

• Long engine life

Advanced Piston Design – Combustion Bowl Technology

The 1915023 piston, the core component of this kit, features an advanced combustion bowl design commonly referred to as the “flower-shaped” bowl, used in earlier SFGLD engine generations.

Key Engineering Benefits:

• Enhanced air-fuel turbulence and swirl

• Improved fuel atomization and mixing

• Faster and more uniform flame propagation

• Reduced knocking and detonation risk

• Improved fuel efficiency and lower emissions

This combustion bowl geometry ensures controlled combustion, leading to higher power output and smoother engine operation.

Piston Cooling System – Thermal Stress Management

To manage extreme operating temperatures, the piston is actively oil-cooled using a dedicated oil jet system. Pressurized lubricating oil is sprayed onto the underside of the piston or circulated through internal oil galleries, effectively:

• Reducing piston crown temperature

• Preventing thermal fatigue

• Extending piston and ring life

• Protecting cylinder liner integrity

1915280 Piston Ring Set – Functions Explained

The SFGLD piston ring set (1915280) consists of three precision-engineered rings:

1. Compression Ring

   • Chrome-plated rectangular ring

   • Ensures gas sealing and maximum compression

2. Scraper Ring

   • Removes excess oil from cylinder walls

   • Prevents oil from entering combustion chamber

3. Oil Control (Greasing) Ring

   • Maintains uniform oil film

   • Controls lubrication and oil return

Together, these rings ensure optimal sealing, lubrication control, and reduced wear.

Technical Specifications – Clearances & Limits

Piston and Ring Clearances (SFGLD)

Maintaining correct tolerances is critical for engine reliability and service life.

Recommended Maintenance & Replacement Intervals

To ensure maximum engine uptime and prevent catastrophic failures:

• Piston Rings (1915280):
  Inspect and replace during R2 service – 20,000 running hours

• Complete Piston (1915210):
  Replace during R3 service – 30,000 running hours

Service intervals may vary depending on fuel quality, load profile, and operating environment.

OEM Option – Mahle Manufactured Pistons Available

This piston kit is also available in OEM configuration, manufactured by Mahle, the original equipment manufacturer for Guascor pistons.

Mahle pistons are globally recognized for:

• Superior metallurgy

• Precision machining

• High thermal resistance

• Long service life in industrial engines

Mahle is a trusted development partner for leading engine manufacturers and supplies pistons for multiple Guascor engine platforms, including HGM and SFGM series.

New-Generation Guascor Piston Design – Improved Efficiency

Guascor’s continuous R&D efforts have resulted in new-generation combustion bowl designs that deliver:

• Higher turbulence

• Better air-fuel mixing

• Improved combustion stability

• Enhanced engine reliability

• Reduced operating costs

These advancements directly translate into improved efficiency and longer engine life.

Support for Legacy Guascor Engines

For operators running older Guascor SFGLD and HGM engines, previous-generation piston designs remain fully supported and available from stock.

Benefits:

• No engine modifications required

• Maintains original engine performance

• Cost-effective maintenance solution

• Extended operational life of legacy engines

We ensure continuous availability of legacy piston designs to support customers with budget-conscious maintenance requirements.
