What is a gas generator set?

Gas generator set refers to a small power generation equipment that can convert natural gas into electricity, also known as natural gas generator set. It is a new type of generator set developed to adapt to the world's environmental protection requirements and the new market environment. There are two main types of natural gas generator sets, one is a combined cycle gas turbine and the other is a gas internal combustion engine. The gas turbine has a relatively large power and is mainly used in large and medium-sized power stations. The gas internal combustion engine has a relatively small power and is mainly used in small distributed power stations. It is a new green and environmentally friendly power to replace fuel and coal-fired units. It makes full use of various natural gases or harmful gases as fuel, turns waste into treasure, operates safely and conveniently, has high cost-effectiveness, low emission pollution, and is suitable for heat and power cogeneration. The market prospect is very broad.

 

Today's small-scale natural gas power generation is mainly in oil fields, gas fields, airports, hotels, hospitals, etc. It can be expected that with the increasing supply of natural gas and the continuous expansion of the supply range, natural gas power generation will develop rapidly in recent years.

 

The gas generator set consists of gas engines, generators, control cabinets and other components. The gas engine and generator are installed on the same steel chassis. The unit uses natural gas, associated gas from wellhead, coal mine gas, water gas, refinery tail gas, biogas, coke oven gas, blast furnace gas and other combustible gases as fuel. It starts quickly and has good economy. Especially due to the demand for high-quality urban life, gas-fired generator sets have been widely used in telecommunications, post offices, banks, libraries, hospitals, hotels and other departments as backup power sources.
