Buying a Used FT8 — What to Know
Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the FT8 different from the FT4?
The FT8 is a newer design with substantially better efficiency (~38% vs ~30%), lower emissions, and a higher pressure ratio. It commands a premium but operates with a lower fuel burn rate.
What is an FT8 MOBILEPAC?
The MOBILEPAC is a self-contained FT8 gas turbine generator set mounted on a highway-legal trailer. It can be transported to a site, connected to fuel and grid, and generating within hours.
What is an FT8 Twin-Pac?
Two FT8 gas generators connected to a shared load gear and single generator, producing ~50 MW. Common in peaking plants requiring higher output from a compact footprint.
