An LPG generator is an electrical generator powered by an internal combustion engine, using LPG as its fuel.LPG generators come in all sizes from small portable units to larger gas turbine powered commercial units.
An LPG powered home generator would be a great choice for a Jamaican home requiring a steady, reliable source of back-up energy with convenience in mind without the noise associated with regular diesel generators.
The advantages of using an LPG generator in Jamaica West Indies.
Operational Costs is cheaper than petrol/diesel generators
Fueling this style of generator would be a much cheaper option when compared to both petrol and diesel powered generators, with LPG being substantially cheaper than the price of diesel or gas.
Running Time
LPG cylinders can be expected to last for a reasonable length of time. For example, with twin 19kg cylinders it is very possible to achieve standby running times of over 38 hours before refueling would be required on a 14kW unit. There is also a variety of cylinder sizes available to match your needs starting with the regular 25 kg cylinder.
Did You Know?
Did you know that a normal petrol powered generator can produce up to a hundred times more colourless, odourless and tasteless poisonous carbon monoxide gas than a modern car’s exhaust?
Recent reports recommend that petrol generators should not be operated within 10 metres of a premises. Petrol/diesel generators require explicit warning labels, warning the consumer of the dangers of carbon monoxide poisoning associated with operating a portable petrol/diesel generator.
Clean – LPG generators produce soot free emissions, no smoke, no smell and are a greener solution for people and the environment. At atmospheric pressure, the LPG used to fuel the generators vaporizes, virtually eliminating the risk of spillage.
Available – Since standby generators connect to your existing LPG lines, you don’t have to worry about running out of gasoline and diesel which may not be available during a power outage.
Economical – LPG is more efficient and, in most places, less expensive than gasoline. LPG generators will also save the owner money – up to 70% on running costs and also significantly on replacement and repair costs because they experience less wear and tear.
Versatile – LPG generators are simple to use and multipurpose in function. Some standby generators can even be used as prime power for homes in remote locations.

Versatile – LPG generators are simple to use and multipurpose in function. Some standby generators can even be used as prime power for homes in remote locations. Mobile – Portable generators have wheels enable them to be easily moved from place to place. Safe – Owners are not required to handle the filling and refueling; therefore, there are fewer opportunities for fire hazards with a LPG generator. When your LPG generator is out of fuel, simply replace the cylinder with a new cylinder of LPG and reconnect to your generator.

At atmospheric pressure, the LPG used to fuel the generators vaporizes, virtually eliminating the risk of spillage. Reliable – LPG does not degrade over time and no stabilizers are needed, so the fuel can be stored indefinitely (in tanks and cylinders). LPG Generators also offer higher durability and are consumer friendly.

Environmental concerns
The emissions of an LPG product are less harmful to the environment than the emissions from both petrol powered generators and diesel powered generators.
Convenience
LPG cylinders for your LPG powered generator can easily be delivered to your door. It’s just like when you are replacing your stove cylinders The replacement of cylinders is also performed simply with the use of a changeover valve and unlike the petrol we have now which is ethanol based, it will not deteriorate if stored for long periods of time.
LPG Generators also offer higher durability and are consumer friendly.
