4 FAQs about Generator exhaust back pressure

Why is exhaust system design important for a diesel generator?

Proper exhaust system design is critical for diesel generator reliability, operator safety, and acoustic comfort. While the engine's cooling system carries away roughly one-third of the fuel's heat, another third leaves the set as hot exhaust gas.

What is exhaust back pressure?

For this discussion, the exhaust back pressure is the gage pressure in the exhaust system at the outlet of the exhaust turbine in turbocharged engines or the pressure at the outlet of the exhaust manifold in naturally aspirated engines. The term back pressure can be also spelled as one word (backpressure) or using a hyphen (back-pressure).

How does back pressure affect engine performance?

Increased back pressure levels can cause increased emissions, increased fuel consumption, and can negatively affect engine performance. Engine exhaust back pressure is defined as the exhaust gas pressure that is produced by the engine to overcome the hydraulic resistance of the exhaust system in order to discharge the gases into the atmosphere.

What is a 90 degree bend in a generator exhaust system?

A typical 90 degree bend in an exhaust system is equal to adding 8 feet (2.67 meters) of pipe. 8-1. Some generators are equipped with fuel systems that utilize Liquefied Petroleum (LP) or Natural Gas as a fuel.
