propane home generators Frequently Asked Questions
how much propane will it take to run a generator per day for a home?
Here are some general numbers we use to estimate propane consumption on generators. Each generator manufacturer quotes slightly different numbers but these should be close. Most back up generators I see installed are 10kw or 13kw. So figure on 2 gallons every hour it runs. Also you need to have a fairly large tank to run a generator because you need to have enough "mass" there to keep the tank from freezing up when the propane is boiling into vapour. Generators are fairly high btu appliances. You could not run one off of a 100lb tank for instance. It would freeze up and starve the generator for fuel in a short period of time. And the colder the outdoor temperature the larger the container needs to be.
7kw - 1.47gph or 135k btu
10kw - 1.93gph or 177kbtu
13kw - 2.18gph or 200k btu
16kw - 2.51gph or 230k btu
20kw - 3.44gph or 315k btu
25kw - 5.0gph or 458k btu
35kw - 6.1gph or 559k btu
45kw - 7.86gph or 720k btu
60kw - 10.34gph or 947k btu
70kw - 11.3gph or 1034k btu
80kw - 12.1gph or 1108k btu
100kw - 15.2gph or 1391k btu
130kw - 19.8gph or 1812k btu
150kw - 22.8gph or 2087k btu
Can you run a refrigerator for a generator a few hours every 4 to 5 hours and not have to ruin everything?
I seeks to move a home is outside the network. The house is connected to a propane refrigerator and I have no money to buy one yet. Can you run a refrigerator for a few hours once every 4 to 5 hours by the generator and not to waste anything. This is only temporary until I buy a propane.
Of course you can. You need to know how often and for how long the refrigerator cycle with the door closed. This will give you an idea of the heat gain / loss and how cold the time to run the refrigerator on the generator. You may have to run 30 minutes every 2-3 hours. But keep in mind that you need a generator that will provide refrigerator uses about 3 times the power. This extra power needed for the compressor to start charging needs. Power plate operation of the refrigerator is only power, starting power required. They propane generators so that you do not continue to run the station for more fuel (as often).
