Difference Between Gasoline Generator And Diesel Generator

Don’t know the difference between gasoline generator and diesel generator? Don’t worry, you will find the answer after reading the post below.

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;
And the gasoline generator has a carburetor, a dispenser, and a number of spark plugs.

What Is the Difference Between Electric Motor and Electric Generator

An electric motor is an electrical machine that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. Most electric motors operate through the interaction between the motor's magnetic field and winding currents to generate force. In certain applications, such as in regenerative braking with traction motors, electric motors can be used in reverse as generators to recover energy that might otherwise be lost as heat and friction. An electric generator operates in the reverse direction, converting mechanical energy into electrical energy. Electric generator can be divided into various type, open type, silent type, trailer type, portable type and container type, etc. Electric generator is mainly composed of diesel engine & alternator. Electric generator set is mainly composed of engine, alternator, control module, and common base. Electric generator :- Electric generator is a type of machine which converts mechanical input (energy) into electrical output (

Engine Fault Code Messages - Volvo Penta Engine

Volvo Penta Engine Fault Code When a malfunction has occurred and the diagnostic system has generated one or more fault codes, these are read out differently depending on the equipment used. Please refer to “Fault code messages”. If the system indicates that a fault code has been set: 1 Cut engine speed to idle, or shut the Volvo engine off. 2 For DCU/DU Read the fault code from the display, please refer to Reading fault codes via the DCU or Reading fault codes via the DU. For CIU press the diagnostic button and read the fault code, by observing the flashing of the diagnostic lamp. Refer to Reading fault codes via the diagnostic lamp, CIU. 3 Look up the fault code in the Fault Code Register chapter and take the recommended measures. Reading fault codes via the DU (Display Unit) Depending on the severity of the fault the text, either WARNING! or ALARM STOP (a buzzer sounds) will be shown on the display 1 Press any button to come to the fault list. The f

Types of Diesel Engine and Application of Diesel Generator

This article will guide you to learn diesel engine types and important role of diesel generator. If you are interested, please keep reading.  What Are Diesel Engines? A type of internal combustion engine more accurately known as a compression ignition engine is designed to provide power by compressing the fuel at high temperature and significant pressure until it ignites. Diesel engines are either two-stroke or four-stroke .   ‘Stroke’ means the movement of the piston in the engine. Two-stroke This engine uses one stroke in each direction.   The first stroke being compression, which results in the ignition of the compressed fuel.   The return stroke brings new fuel into the cylinder. Four-stroke This engine has one compression stroke and one exhaust stroke and each one of those has a return stroke – hence, four-stroke. The compression stroke compresses the fuel/air mixture prior to ignition.   The exhaust stroke pushes the burnt gases out the exhaust. The
