Along with gasoline and diesel, it is becomingmore popular gas generator, which is often used in country houses and in country houses as a source of backup power. It provides the operation of boilers, stoves and other household appliances. Consider the installation in more detail.
Gas generator has a higheconomy, very low noise level during operation, as well as environmental safety. After all, its emissions are virtually harmless. These are the most convenient devices from all electric generators for operation. Therefore, the demand for them is strictly growing.
Gas generators are:
The first, working on internal enginescombustion, are used for domestic needs. Gas turbine units have higher power ratings, which start at 30 kW. Such units are much more expensive and are mainly used in industry.
Household electric generators are of such types:
In addition to generators, working only onliquefied natural gas, there are mini-power plants that can operate on butane, propane and gasoline. But for such units it will be problematic to use low-pressure gas.
Gas power generators for home on naturalgas and gasoline will be more effective if properly adjust the ignition timing. It is different depending on the fuel used. Therefore, precise and fine adjustments are required for opening and closing valves. It should also be taken into account that optimal performance cannot be achieved with either gasoline or gas. Most of the internal combustion engines that are on the market today are equipped with an ignition angle adjustment that is not made in factory conditions. Therefore, the engine is able to switch to gas fuel only after full development of gasoline.
Gas power generators for home on naturalgas (trunk) and gasoline are not economical. The engine on the enriched or lean mixture will work with the flow rate that is provided by the manufacturer.
The factory set pressure of the mixer is2.8 kPa and not regulated. Since in Russia, almost everywhere, the pressure of the main gas is equal to 1.8 kPa or less, the gearboxes completely fit into the inherent settings. But in winter the level gets even lower. Because of this, working equipment runs the risk of failure. In the injection unit with the start-up problems, even with low pressure does not happen. But due to the loss of power, the operation becomes inexpedient, although it has to continue.
If you are going to purchase this device,it is necessary to seriously study its characteristics. Central to any such device is an internal combustion engine, which provides rotation of the rotor generator and the generation of electrical energy. Most often we can find Chinese units, which are copied from the generator of the Japanese manufacturer Honda. It is better to abandon the purchase of such plants and purchase better-quality Japanese generators. Here you will find the serial numbers that are located next to the company logo. In this device there will be no problems with cold start and “sounding” of valves, which is not the case with Chinese counterparts.
The best units if necessarybackup power are such generators that have an air cooling system. But if it is intended to use the installation on an ongoing basis, then it is better to purchase a device with a water cooling system. The fact is that the air structure will require regular technical interruptions. And with the system on the water, non-stop operation can last for seven days.
Installation on a water cooling system can work perfectly independently for three or more years. The leaders in the production of such units are the following companies:
From generators with an air cooling system, you can select models from the following manufacturers:
Household gas generators havea certain time of non-stop work, which must be adhered to. If this parameter is regularly violated, it will provoke a rapid deterioration of equipment.
When intended to work in continuous modeshould additionally provide engine cooling and oil level control. Also, the exhaust gas system should be periodically inspected.
Since the beginning of its production gasThe electric generator was intended as an alternative to devices operating on other types of fuel for backup power. Today, such installations are very relevant. Especially popular are those in which electronic control is implemented through fuel injection. Unlike gearboxes, they do not depend on temperature.
There are many other benefits thatgas piston gas generators are different. Natural gas for them can be the main or in the form of liquefied propane-butane. Work resource is more than three and a half years. Aggregates also provide high efficiency. With timely and proper maintenance, the resource can reach double the period from the declared by the manufacturer.
