Types of Gas-Powered Generator Sets
A gas-powered generator contains an internal combustion engine. It harnesses mechanical energy to produce a current. Thompson Power Systems carries multiple types of gas-powered generators for rent, including:
Natural Gas
These generators draw natural gas or propane from a direct line or tank to create clean fossil fuel for electricity.
The generator uses a spark plug to ignite the fuel, driving a crankshaft. This process spins the generator’s rotor and creates an electrical current to power appliances and charge batteries. It may even power large equipment, depending on the generator’s size.
Natural gas-powered generators have several benefits, including:
- Affordability: Natural gas generators tend to have lower upfront and operating fees than other generators, making them a cost-effective investment for your business.
- Minimal noise: Natural gas generators are typically quieter than their diesel-powered cousins, so they’re ideal for environments with noise restrictions or ordinances.
- Low emissions: Natural gas emits fewer toxins into the environment than other fuels.
We offer plenty of natural gas generator rental options at Thompson Power Systems.
