Expert Solutions, Support and Craftmanship: Generator Exhaust Systems

Effective generator exhaust systems are critical for worker safety.

That’s because these systems direct all the exhaust gases, particularly the harmful ones, away from the generators and the people around them. In a room with an operating generator with no exhaust system, people would be breathing in harmful gases and equipment could overheat. The exhaust systems make sure those toxic emissions are safely expelled outside.

The Certainty of Prefabrication

When manufacturing generator exhaust systems, there are two main types of assemblies: field-fabricated and prefabricated. Each method has its merits, but the latter has become the gold standard for several reasons. These ready-made solutions not only save time and costs but also improve safety measures by managing high temperatures and exhaust gas pressures.

In contrast to field-fabricated systems, typically constructed on-site using sections of Schedule 40 carbon steel pipe followed by insulation, our American-made prefabricated systems streamline the insulation process. Operating within a supervised factory environment, we enforce rigorous quality control measures, ensuring the confidence of highly engineered and controlled manufacturing. Consequently, we assure a reliable, top-performing product that consistently meets and exceeds expectations.

The Certainty of Maximum Safety and Reliability

Schebler generator exhaust systems feature one to four inches of insulation. Our systems incorporate fiber insulation to minimize cooling, uphold optimal temperatures and maintain clearance to combustibles. In instances where insulation is not necessary, our flexible designs can even accommodate a one-inch air gap, ensuring we can consistently deliver adaptable and optimized solutions. From the type of products we deliver to the standards they meet, our commitment to excellence remains steadfast.
