Nothing in particular at this point.

I had an owner ask me about one for a Hospital addition we are getting ready to start and he wanted to know the pros and cons of these units.

It is probably a little small for his application since we have a design calling for a 1500kW unit and these only seem to go up to about 750kW.

That doesn't seem to be a problem.

All bi-fuel generators can be configured as part of Generac?s Modular Power System, where the output of multiple gensets can be paralleled and combined without expensive switchgear (another industry exclusive). The flexibility and scalability of the modular approach allows the creation of multiple-unit systems up to 6000 kilowatts, with the gensets backing up each other to provide the additional benefit of redundancy.

I'm putting in a 40 KVA natural gas generator and the bi fuel one was considered at the time of purchase. It was decided that the changing from one fuel to another and the maintenance would be complicated ( I'm a firm believer in the KISS method of maintenance and operation) The other consideration for the Natural gas was that the generator would sit atop a ledge overlooking a wetland in Florida. Diesel and wetland puts the locals into hypertensive apoplexy.


Thank you google spell check!
 
I have installed many Briggs and Stratton generators that change from natural gas to propane with the connecting of one electrical plug connection within the generator. itis about a ten second changeover.
