Powering Through Emergencies: How Bi-Fuel Generators are Saving Lives in Hospitals and Medical Facilities

Hospitals and medical facilities require an uninterrupted power supply to operate around the clock effectively. They also need a reliable source of emergency power to ensure seamless patient care in case of a power outage. This is primarily during emergencies such as hurricanes, fires, floods, tornadoes, earthquakes, and other natural disasters.

Diesel generators have long been the go-to solution for emergency power backups due to their high reliability and long operational lifespan. The problem is that they may not provide constant or reliable power during fuel shortages. This is where bi-fuel diesel generators, hospitals, and medical facilities come in.

Bi-fuel generators are emergency power backup systems that use both diesel fuel and natural gas to produce electricity. These generators offer several benefits over traditional diesel-only generators, including extended runtime, reduced emissions, and lower operating costs. Read on to discover how these generators work and their use in hospitals and medical facilities.

Bi-Fuel Generators – Summary of Retrofit

Bi-fuel diesel generators are existing diesel generators that have been retrofitted to allow them to operate on diesel and natural gas. This process involves installing a bi-fuel conversion kit, which includes a natural gas regulator, mixer, and control panel, onto an existing generator.

The retrofit process often allows the generator to continue operating on diesel alone if natural gas is unavailable. The generator can switch seamlessly between the two fuel sources without interruption, ensuring seamless hospital operations during emergencies.

The bi-fuel conversion process does not require significant modifications to the existing diesel generator, making it a cost-effective solution for hospitals and other medical facilities. Installing a bi-fuel conversion kit is quick and can be completed within a few hours, minimizing downtime.
