Potech Carburetor is an easy-to-install dual fuel/hybrid carburettor that enables existing petrol generators to run on domestic/cooking gas (LPG), while still allowing you the option of switching to petrol whenever you run out of gas.
The carburettors come in two sizes: Small ones for generators of 2kva - 3.6kva and big ones for generators of 3.8kva - 12kva capacity. Our carburettors are not compatible with Yamaha and the smallest Tiger Gens (I beta pass my nebo)
12.5kg of gas on a 2.5kva generator guarantees a min of 40 hours of electricity or about 8 days if you do an average of 5 hours per day. Gas is cheaper, safer, cleaner, greener, and always available!
Advantages of Potech Carburetor
> Gas is cheaper and always available
> Gen noise/sound is reduced by at least 30%, depending on age, make of gen and load*
> It's eco-friendly. Gen stops smoking entirely
> Engine oil lasts longer before getting dirty
> Servicing frequency is reduced
> Spark plugs can be used for 2yrs before replacement
> Tested and confirmed okay, and currently in use in our offices
> 12.5kg of gas gives you 32-40hrs of electricity on 2.5Kva gen - that's about 8 days, if you run gen for a max of 4hrs/day
How Safe is Gas on Generator?
Lots of Nigerians are still afraid of gas, as some think it can easily cause explosions, but I don't blame them. It's limited knowledge, which suggests why most Nigerians still don't use gas cookers at home.
The truth is running gas cylinders on the generator is safer than running it on cookers. Cookers naturally generate flame (naked fire), yet do not cause explosions, as the cylinders are built to handle the generated flame, whereas your gen doesn't generate flame. Remember we also have cylinders that carry burners (the student/camping cookers), and they don't cause explosions, too!
Again, if there's a leakage from your cylinder/hose in your kitchen, gas can easily accumulate and any ignition can cause fire, being that your kitchen is an enclosure, whereas your gen and cylinders, being outdoors, have adequate ventilation, which will naturally disperse any leaked gas - reducing the chance of fire and explosion, in case of fire ignition.
Although we recommend you keep your gen and cylinders outdoors to avoid overheating and use a hose of 3-5 yards. Also, avoid having your gen in a cluster of other running generators, as we have in some apartments.
