Prime Gaseous Generators

Per kWh, gas is generally much cheaper than converting diesel energy. These HIPOWER prime gas gensets produce very little soot and minimize unburned fuel, making them an ideal choice for environmental preservation and meeting EPA and CARB standards. Pipeline fuel also eliminates the need for fuel storage, thereby omitting the need to consider storage regulations and concern for fuel degradation.

Every HIPOWER generator is built with reliability and longevity in mind. The sound attenuated, weather resistant enclosure options offered with prime gensets are built to be in the most rugged of environments. Industrial-grade steel or aluminum options are available and coated with corrosion-resistant treatments. Engine generator assemblies include heavy-duty air filters, large cooling fans, high-capacity fuel systems, and industrial grade generator ends. The internal components, such as the crank case, bearings, and alternator windings, are of the highest quality design for handling sustained output even under the harshest conditions.

The control system on each HIPOWER’s prime generator provides a comprehensive platform for maintaining steady voltage and frequency regulation at various loads and can be integrated with standard building or process control systems. When multiple units are set up in parallel, the controllers can easily set the machines to coordinate load sharing. All alarms and metering displays keep track of both running hours and machine efficiency. Plant engineers and operators can keep track of it all through remote monitoring via cellular or Ethernet connections to keep an eye on performance and stay updated on alerts even from off-site.
