Air Cooled Standby Generators

Air Cooled Generator

An automatic Air Cooled Generator runs on natural gas or propane for home and business backup power during outages that last a few hours to days or even weeks without daily refueling.

Air Cooled Generator systems connect permanently to the home or business circuit breaker panel through an Automatic Transfer Switch. The system continuously monitors the state of the utility supply and automatically begins to supply power within seconds after the power goes out. They operate 24/7 whether the owner is present or thousands of miles away on vacation or business.

A permanent connection to the gas supply—either propane or natural gas—allows an air cooled generator to run for days or even weeks without refueling. Remote monitoring keeps you in touch and up to date.

Air Cooled Generator vs Liquid Cooled

An air cooled generator offers an economical and efficient backup power option to a liquid cooled model. An air cooled generator engine has a fan to blow air from outside the cabinet over the engine to remove heat. These generators have single or twin cylinder commercial or industrial engines designed for fast, reliable starts and long hours of use.

Liquid-cooled models are larger and more complex with a design that mimics the radiator and coolant system found in automobiles, trucks, and construction equipment. The difference in upfront cost and installation makes an air cooled generator an economical purchase choice, while reduced fuel costs save money over the life of the generator.

Most air cooled generators have clearance requirements of just 18 inches to the building. Liquid cooled models may require up to five feet. The smaller and lighter generators fit into small yard landscaping or tight commercial spaces with minimal space requirements,
