Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to a gas pressure reducing valve and a generator, belonging to the technical field of generator pressure reducing valves. Background Art
[0002] The existing gas / oil dual-fuel generator can selectively use gas or oil as the power source according to the needs when in use, which not only solves the problems of pollution and fuel consumption, but also meets the requirements of power and convenient mobility. Dual-fuel generators usually use oil-gas conversion switches to achieve the switching of gas or oil.
[0003] In order to improve the power performance of generators and reduce costs, more and more generators are beginning to use three fuels, that is, on the basis of dual fuel, two types of fuel gas, compressed natural gas (CNG for short) and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG for short) are used. In existing generator sets, split oil and gas dual-purpose carburetors and pressure reducing valves are mostly used. Both carburetors and pressure reducing valves need to be switched between gas and oil and between gas and gas through external conversion switches.
[0004] However, too many switches will make the gas path longer, which may lead to large differences in gas pressure, causing emissions to exceed standards, and fuel leakage is easy to occur at the connection points of the switches.
