CAT Gas Generator

Cat gas generators - economical and environmentally friendly power from Caterpillar

PROFI-INSTRUMENT offers to buy a CAT gas generator with an official warranty. For over 10 years we have been providing enterprises with Caterpillar gas power plants.

What is a Caterpillar gas generator and why is it chosen?

A Cat gas generator is an industrial-class power plant that runs on natural or liquefied gas. A Caterpillar gas generator combines the economy of gas fuel with the reliability of equipment from a world leader in the production of power systems.

Who is the Cat gas generator suitable for?

• Industrial enterprises - main or backup power
• Cottage towns - centralized gas supply
• Hotels and sanatoriums - round-the-clock operation
• Greenhouses - heat recovery from the engine
• Poultry farms and farms - gas availability and electricity demand
• Facilities with gasification - maximum fuel savings
• Cogeneration plants - simultaneous generation of electricity and heat

Advantages of a gas generator over diesel and gasoline

Fuel efficiency

• Natural gas is 50-70% cheaper than diesel
• Liquefied gas is 30-40% cheaper than gasoline
• Saving tens of thousands of dollars on fuel per year
• Payback of the higher cost of equipment in 2-3 years

Environmental friendliness

• 80% less CO₂ emissions compared to diesel
• Virtually no soot and particulate emissions
• Quieter operation - on 5-10 dB lower
• Compliance with the most stringent environmental regulations
• Possibility of installation in residential areas

Durability

• Cat gas engine resource up to 40,000+ hours
• Gas does not contaminate the oil - less frequent replacements
• Less aggressive combustion - longer service life

Key characteristics of Caterpillar gas generators

Types of gas

• Natural gas (methane) - connection to the gas pipeline, the lowest cost of fuel
• Liquefied gas (propane-butane) - for facilities without gasification, storage in a gas tank

Cat Gas engines

• Specialized industrial-grade gas engines
• Liquid cooling for long-term operation
• Turbocharging for high power
• Electronic control for optimal operation
• Resource 40,000+ hours before overhaul repair

Output voltage

• Three-phase 380V / 400V - for industrial consumers
• Ability to connect single-phase consumers 220V
• Frequency 50 Hz - the standard of the Ukrainian power grid

Starting system

• Electric starter with a powerful battery
• Engine heating for starting in winter
• Mandatory autostart system (ATS)
• Automatic synchronization with the network

Execution

• Containerized version - for outdoor installation
• All-weather casings - year-round operation
• Noise protection panels - noise level 65-75 dB
• Ventilation and cooling systems

Control and automation systems

• Cat electronic control panels
• Remote monitoring via the Internet
• Automatic synchronization of multiple generators
• Diagnostics and warning systems
• Integration with dispatching systems

Cogeneration - double savings with a Cat gas generator

What is cogeneration

Utilization of heat from the engine for heating or technological needs. The Caterpillar gas generator produces not only electricity, but also heat.

Advantages of cogeneration

• Installation efficiency up to 85-90% (conventional generators - 35-40%)
• Use of heat for space heating
• Water heating for technological needs
• Heating greenhouses in winter
• Savings on boiler equipment
• Installation payback in 1-2 years instead of 2-3

Application of cogeneration

• Hotels - electricity + hot water
• Baths and swimming pools - electricity + water heating
• Greenhouses - electricity + heating + CO₂ for plants
• Production - electricity + technological heat
• Cottage towns - electricity + centralized heating

Comparison of gas, diesel and gasoline generators

CAT gas generator

• The lowest fuel cost (50-70% cheaper than diesel)
• Environmental friendliness - 80% less emissions
• Quieter operation
• Possibility of cogeneration
• Longer resource - 40000+ hours
• Higher initial cost
• Requires gasification or gas holder

Diesel generator

• Autonomy — own fuel tank
• High efficiency
• Expensive fuel
• Emissions and odor
• More frequent maintenance

Gasoline generator

• Lower initial price
• The most expensive fuel
• Shorter resource
• Not suitable for 24-hour operation

Conclusion: It is profitable to buy a Caterpillar gas generator if there is gasification and the need for long-term operation — payback due to fuel savings and the possibility of cogeneration.

Autostart system and parallel operation

Autostart (ATS)

A mandatory system for Cat gas generators:

• Automatic start when the network is disconnected
• Engine heating for readiness for start
• Load switching in 10-30 seconds
• Automatic return to the main network

Parallel operation

Cat gas generators can operate in parallel:

• With the main power grid - reducing consumption peaks
• With other generators - increasing total power
• Automatic frequency and phase synchronization
• Load distribution between generators

Caterpillar gas generator maintenance

Regular maintenance

• Oil change every 500-1000 hours (less often than diesel!)
• Spark plug replacement
• Air filter replacement
• Cooling system control
• Gas equipment inspection

Professional service

A regular maintenance contract with a Caterpillar certified service center is mandatory for Cat gas generators.

Remote monitoring

• Control of parameters via the Internet
• Warning about the need for maintenance
• Fault diagnostics
• Optimization of operating modes
