Before purchasing generator, people often ask what’s the difference between diesel generator and gasoline generator? As a professional manufacture, Jiangsu Starlight Electricity Equipments Co.,Ltd will tell you the difference between two of them.

1. In-cylinder pressure object is different

The gasoline generator compresses the gasoline and air mixture during the compression stroke stage;
The diesel generator compresses the air at the compression stroke stage.

2. Ignition is different

The gasoline generator relies on spark plugs;
The diesel generator relies on atomized diesel to spray high pressure gas spontaneous combustion.

3. The mixture of fuel and air is different

In the gasoline engine, fuel and air are combined in the carburetor and intake ducts;
In the diesel engine, the mixing of diesel and air is carried out after the diesel is injected into the cylinder.

4. Use range is different

Gasoline generators are generally used for home use;

Diesel generators use a wide range, such as various types of construction units, all kinds of large buildings, field operations and so on.

5. Sound and volume are different

Overall, the gasoline generator's sound and volume are smaller than diesel generators.

6. Ignition and fuel systems are different
Diesel generator is a compression ignition internal combustion engine, which uses a fuel injection pump and a number of fuel injectors;

Diesel Generator Power Ratings: Standby vs Prime vs Continuous

Diesel generator sets are commonly used in a variety of sectors due to their dependable performance and high efficiency. They can be used for emergency power supply in the event of a power cut or used in places without connection to a power grid. When selecting a diesel generator for your home or business, you need to consider many factors, such as generator’s ratings. In this article, we’ll explain the three basic rating types - standby, prime, and continuous in diesel generators. ISO-8528-1:2018 defines basic generator set rating categories based on four operational categories: Emergency Standby Power (ESP), Prime Power (PRP), Continuous Power (COP) and Limited-Time Running Prime (LTP). Read on and learn the application of power ratings for engines used in generating sets. Standby Power Rating Standby Power(ESP) is used to supply emergency power when the external power supply is interrupted, such as power outages. Standby power rated generators can supply reliable electricity as t...
