80 kW natural gas and biogas generator overview

The Ricardo 80 kW gas generator listing from Alexerpower / Weifang Junwei Machinery Co., Ltd gives a reference electrical output of 80 kW / 100 kVA, 400 V, three-phase, 50 Hz. Natural gas and biogas enquiries require a fuel-specific engine and gas supply configuration.

The listed engine references are R6105IZLD-NG for natural gas and R6105IZLD-BIO for biogas. Confirm the actual engine nameplate, fuel specification and approved output in the quotation. The 80 kW listing does not establish the same output on every gas composition or a generator that can switch fuels without modification.

Photo guide: the gallery includes examples of different gas-generator configurations, including Weichai and CHP layouts. Request current photographs and an installation drawing of the exact Ricardo configuration being quoted.

80 kW gas generator reference specifications

These reference data are reorganized from the existing Alexerpower product listing. Request the current data sheet, fuel conditions and prime, continuous or standby duty rating for the supplied version before ordering.

Electrical protectionMain line circuit breaker listed; confirm its rating and scope of supply

The power pair 80 kW / 100 kVA corresponds to a power factor of 0.8. It is the generator set’s listed electrical output, not the engine shaft power. Confirm the permitted load profile, motor starting requirements and site conditions when sizing the system.

Natural gas and biogas fuel requirements

  • Natural gas: send the gas analysis or supplier specification, heating value, available flow and pressure at the proposed generator inlet, including pressure during peak demand.
  • Biogas: send methane and carbon dioxide content, heating value, hydrogen sulfide, moisture and relevant contaminant results. Include siloxane testing where the gas source may contain them.
  • Gas treatment: agree the engine manufacturer’s inlet limits and the required filtration, moisture removal, contaminant treatment and pressure regulation. Untreated digester or landfill gas should not be assumed suitable.
  • Output and consumption: request a rating and gas-consumption data for the actual fuel, load and site conditions. Confirm whether gas volumes are reported at standard or actual conditions.

Biogas treatment and possible output derating depend on fuel quality. The U.S. EPA reciprocating engine technology guide explains these general considerations; it does not certify this generator or provide its fuel limits.

Applications, controls and installation planning

For industrial on-site power, farm or anaerobic digestion projects, and wastewater biogas enquiries, provide the operating load and available gas supply. Selection requires a confirmed electrical rating and fuel specification for the project.

  • Operating mode: specify standalone power, backup duty or grid-parallel operation, daily running hours and required automatic start or transfer functions. Confirm the necessary controls and project approvals.
  • Cooling and installation: include site altitude, ambient temperature, ventilation, exhaust routing, installation space and service access.
  • Equipment package: the listing describes gas, air and oil filters, a radiator, vibration isolation and ignition components. Confirm the gas train, mixer, regulator, controller, protection functions and component brands in the agreed bill of materials.
  • Noise and heat recovery: state the sound limit and measurement distance if an enclosure is needed. For a CHP enquiry, include the required heat use, water temperatures and operating schedule; confirm heat-recovery equipment and performance separately.

The Cummins generator application manual provides general background on duty ratings, load sizing, gas supply and site planning. For a comparison of fuel options, read our natural gas generator vs diesel guide.

80 kW natural gas and biogas generator FAQ

Can one generator run on both natural gas and biogas?

The listing identifies separate NG and BIO engine references. Do not assume an interchangeable fuel system. Confirm the engine version, gas train, ignition settings and approved fuel specification for the intended gas before ordering or changing fuel.

What does 80 kW / 100 kVA mean?

80 kW is the listed active electrical power and 100 kVA is the listed apparent power, corresponding to a power factor of 0.8. Confirm whether this is the prime, continuous or standby rating and whether it applies to your gas composition and site conditions.

Can I connect untreated biogas directly?

Do not assume raw biogas meets the engine’s inlet requirements. Send a gas analysis and agree the required treatment for moisture, hydrogen sulfide, particles and any relevant siloxanes, together with the pressure, flow and heating-value limits for the selected engine.

How much gas does the generator consume?

Consumption depends on fuel composition, heating value, electrical load and rating conditions. Request consumption data for your operating points, stating the gas volume reference conditions. A single gas-consumption value should not be applied to both natural gas and biogas without supporting test data.

Is a silent enclosure or CHP system included?

Gallery images do not establish the scope of supply. Include your enclosure, sound limit and heat-recovery requirements in the enquiry. Confirm availability, the included equipment, noise measurement conditions and useful heat output in the quotation.

Can I order a different voltage or 60 Hz version?

This page lists 400 V, three-phase, 50 Hz and 1500 rpm reference data. Send the required voltage and frequency and request an approved engine-alternator configuration with its own rating; do not apply the listed data unchanged to another frequency.

Request an 80 kW gas generator quotation

Send the following information to Alexerpower so the proposed generator and gas supply can be assessed together:

  1. Fuel type and source, gas analysis, heating value, available inlet pressure and flow, and existing gas-treatment equipment.
  2. Required electrical output, voltage, phases, frequency, load list and largest starting load.
  3. Duty type, daily operating hours and standalone, backup or grid-parallel requirements.
  4. Destination, altitude, ambient temperature, installation layout, sound limit and any heat-recovery requirements.
  5. Quantity, required controls, accessories, project documentation and delivery schedule.

Request the current data sheet, engine and alternator nameplates, installation drawing, fuel limits, current photos, manuals, agreed spare parts, warranty terms and delivery lead time. If your destination requires emissions or conformity documents, ask for the model-specific documents and their applicable scope.
