Specifying Generator Set Fuel Sources

1 Professional Development Hour (PDH)

By attending this course attendees will learn about gaseous generator sets, and how NFPA 110 affects their specifications.

The installation of gaseous generator sets in a wide variety of applications continues to rise in North America while facility performance requirements, codes and standards are often most closely linked to their traditional diesel counterparts.

As natural gas and propane fueled generator sets reach the market with “diesel-like” performance, it’s critical to understand how best to apply these products to maximize the value they provide.

This course will provide an overview of gaseous generator set capabilities in various applications and will empower participants to recognize how to best apply gaseous generator sets to meet common performance and NFPA 110 requirements.


Learning objectives:

  • Recognize performance requirements applicable to both diesel and gaseous generator sets.
  • Describe key features and capabilities of gaseous generator sets.
  • List key application considerations unique to gaseous generator set installations.
