Gentherm Global Power Technologies Page 10
Fuel Type: an “X” will be marked in the appropriate box to show whether the generator is
set to burn natural gas or propane. Suitable orifices are available if the TEG is to be run on
another fuel type. Please contact GPT to obtain the required orifice if you are switching fuels.
Fuel Pressure, Power, Voltage: The fuel pressure, gross power output and voltage across
the precision load have been included for reference only. These are the conditions achieved
at the Gentherm Global Power Technologies (GPT) factory before shipping. Note that the fuel
pressure is recorded in kPa and that the pressure read from the gauge must be adjusted for
the altitude.
The 5220 is operates on commercial propane, or commercial natural gas. The Fuel
Consumption of the 5220 at rated power is listed in the table below for various Fuels.
