All QT models feature sound attenuated enclosures to ensure quiet operation under full load. Interior cooling fans and air passageways are designed for maximum cooling effectiveness and minimal noise. Generac’s new Quiet-Test™
feature, from which the QT Series takes its name, is a breakthrough in sound reduction. With Quiet-Test™, the generator automatically runs at reduced engine speed when utility power is present, making the genset exceptionally quiet during its weekly self-test and exercise cycle. This patent pending feature is not available from any other manufacturer.
All QT Series gensets run on natural gas, making them a superior alternative to conventional diesel generators. With these gaseous-fueled products, fuel storage, spillage, spoilage and odor concerns are absent. The cleaner combustion of natural gas and quieter engine operation also minimize environmental concerns.
These gensets were designed to meet the needs of small and medium-sized businesses. It’s a revolutionary product that will bring clean, quiet and affordable standby power within the reach of millions of enterprises that have never had a backup generator. The QT Series gensets are surprisingly quiet, environmentally friendly, and amazingly affordable.
Reducing the cost of backup power and making these generators easy to install were also high priorities in the design of the QT Series. Generac is committed to offering high value products to its customers and this line exemplifies that philosophy. Businesses lose money every hour they’re shut down during a blackout. Considering the impact of significant revenue loss, the economics of investing in standby power will now be compelling. With QT model gensets priced 20 to 30% less than comparable solutions, the payback computation is simple. These generators can pay for themselves during the first extended outage, yet provide decades of reliable service. For millions of business owners, this could be the easiest and smartest business decision they’ll ever make.
To illustrate the point consider the example of a high volume drug store. If a retail business averages $1400 an hour at the cash registers, the loss of revenue during an extended outage will add up quickly, not to mention the cost of having employees idle during that time. However, there’s an affordable solution that eliminates the business risk of a blackout a QT Series genset. A 70 kilowatt model with an approximate installed price of $15,600 will pay for itself in just twelve hours of use. Add the advantages of being open while competitors without backup power are shut down and the cost / benefit analysis looks even better. It’s a simple way to safeguard revenue, maintain security, avoid losses, and protect the bottom line.
Electrical power outputs of QT Series gensets include models rated at 15, 20, 25, 30, 40, 55, 70, 80, 100, 130 and 150 kilowatts. All are UL 2200 Listed and meet or exceed the safety and power output standards of Underwriters Laboratories for stationary generator systems. Both single and three phase electrical outputs are offered, as well as a variety of voltages. In addition to the full line of natural gas offerings, units up to 40 kilowatts are available in versions that use liquid propane (LP) vapor as an alternative fuel.
These new products are full-featured units that incorporate all of Generac’s industry-leading technologies. All QT Series models feature electronic governors and advanced digital computer controls, with system status indicators and a remote alarm option. Though all of these features are standard on every QT Series genset, the price is considerably lower than any comparable product on the market today. Control panel options include the advanced PowerManager® G-200 paralleling system controller that is available on the 100 and 150 kW models.
Generac is renowned for the success of its Modular Power System (MPS), which combines and parallels the output of multiple gensets without the use of expensive, space-consuming switchgear. With two MPS-compatible models (100 and 150 kW) in the QT line, the many advantages of this approach scalability, redundancy, flexibility and reduced cost are now available for smaller natural gas-fueled systems. It is now possible to create cost-effective gaseous-fueled Modular Power Systems as small as 200 kW and as large as 1500 kW.
This is a real breakthrough that brings all the advantages of natural gas to a much wider range of applications at a fraction of the prior cost. For example, a typical 600 kilowatt single engine natural gas genset from another manufacturer costs about $180,000 installed. The Generac MPS alternative consists of four 150 kW QT gensets operating in parallel and costing about $90,000, a savings of $90,000, or 50%. With our products that feature onboard paralleling capabilities, we’re taking a new approach and providing tremendous value to the customer without the complexity and expense of the cumbersome systems offered by other manufacturers. The possibilities for this new product line are endless. That’s why we’re so excited about bringing this solution to millions of businesses that have never before invested in standby power.
