The Farizon GS13M Series
Methanol Engine: A Next-Generation Power Solution for
Clean energy Applications This advanced
methanol-powered engine represents a significant leap forward in clean combustion technology, engineered specifically for non-road applications such as generators, marine propulsion, and heavy-duty construction equipment. Designed with the second-generation Geely autonomous
Methanol control system, the GS13M delivers exceptional performance while maintaining ultra-low emissions and superior
Fuel efficiency—making it an ideal choice for environmentally conscious industries worldwide. Key Features: High Performance Through Intelligent Engineering Equipped with a high compression ratio of 12.5:1, high-energy ignition, and optimized valve timing, this diesel-like powerplant leverages intake turbocharging and intercooling to maximize combustion efficiency. The result is robust torque output across a wide RPM range, particularly at 1500 rpm under 50 Hz operation, ensuring consistent power delivery even under demanding conditions. Its inline six-cylinder configuration (130 mm bore × 161 mm stroke) provides smooth operation and reliable mechanical balance. Low Fuel Consumption and Cost Efficiency By integrating intelligent fuel management systems tailored for M100 methanol, the engine achieves up to 20% better fuel economy compared to conventional
Diesel Engines. This translates into reduced operating costs and extended run times between refills—critical advantages for remote or off-grid operations where fuel logistics are challenging. Exceptional Reliability and Longevity Built using CAE simulation and rigorous real-world testing, the GS13M meets global durability standards. With a B10 life expectancy exceeding 1.2 million kilometers, it ensures minimal downtime and long-term value. Materials and coatings have been specially selected to resist corrosion and wear from methanol’s unique chemical properties, enhancing component longevity in harsh environments. Ultra-Low Emissions for Sustainable Operations Methanol combustion produces significantly fewer pollutants than traditional fossil fuels. CO, HC, and NOx emissions are reduced by at least 85%, with near-zero particulate matter—a major environmental benefit. This makes the GS13M compliant with stringent emission regulations in Europe, North America, and other regions prioritizing green energy transitions. Detailed Specifications: - Type: Inline, four-stroke, liquid-cooled, turbocharged and intercooled - Fuel: Primary—M100 methanol; Auxiliary—92# gasoline (with optional coolant heating for cold-start reliability) - Displacement: 12.82 liters - Weight: 1180 kg - Power Output (50 Hz): Continuous 250 kW, Prime 250 kW, Limited 300 kW, Emergency 300 kW - Fuel Consumption Range: From 51.72 kg/h at 30% load to 154.13 kg/h at 110% standby Ideal Use Cases: This versatile engine excels in stationary generator sets, marine vessels requiring clean propulsion, and mobile machinery like excavators and loaders. Whether deployed in industrial sites, agricultural facilities, or offshore platforms, its ability to operate reliably on renewable methanol offers both economic and ecological advantages over legacy diesel solutions. User Feedback Highlights: Operators report improved uptime due to enhanced cold-start capabilities, especially when equipped with a standard coolant heater. Maintenance intervals have increased thanks to reduced carbon buildup and corrosion resistance, while fleet managers appreciate the lower total cost of ownership driven by methanol’s stable pricing and availability in emerging clean fuel markets. Frequently Asked Questions: How does methanol compare to diesel in terms of efficiency? While methanol has lower energy density per liter, modern engines like the GS13M optimize combustion to achieve comparable or better overall efficiency through intelligent control systems and efficient thermal management. Is methanol safe for long-term use in engines? Yes—with proper material selection and system design, methanol poses no greater risk than conventional fuels. The GS13M uses methanol-compatible components that prevent degradation over time. Can it start in freezing temperatures without auxiliary fuel? With a dedicated cooling fluid heating system, the engine can reliably start below -20°C without needing gasoline assistance—an advantage for Arctic or high-altitude deployments. In summary, the Farizon GS13M series methanol engine is not just a replacement for diesel—it’s a strategic upgrade toward cleaner, smarter, and more sustainable power generation. It combines cutting-edge engineering, proven durability, and
eco-friendly operation to meet the evolving needs of global industries seeking responsible alternatives to fossil fuels.
