4 FAQs about Gas generator plant exhaust

How should a generator exhaust system be designed?

Generator exhaust systems should be looked at as critical engineered components. A such, adequate effort should be spent in the design phase. For engineers tasked with the mechanical design of an emergency generator room: have a close look at your specifications for the engine exhaust system.

How does a generator exhaust system work?

While it may seem like a simple pipe run, the system plays a crucial role in ensuring facility safety, maintaining air quality, and optimizing generator performance. At the core of the system is the generator exhaust pipe, which connects directly to the engine's manifold. From there, exhaust gases are routed through a combination of:

What is a field fabricated generator exhaust system?

Field-fabricated generator exhaust systems are typically made from sections of Schedule 40 carbon steel pipe, welded in the field, and then insulated. This not only makes installation more complicated, but these systems lack the quality control inherent in a supervised factory environment.

How safe is a generator exhaust system?

Your generator set exhaust system must be installed safely, resulting in no recirculation of harmful exhaust gases back into your building's HVAC system. The only way to ensure that your generator discharges exhaust gases safely is to use an exhaust system that has been designed properly.
