Rent Generator or Buy Generator?


To the person whom needs diesel generator set, they may meet some problem. The first problem is that whether it is better to rent diesel generators or not. It's also expected to get you involved in this problem.

The problem seems very difficult. In fact, we can consider it from our own situation. Renting or buying diesel generator set all is to solve the problem of standby power supply. If you buy a diesel generator set by yourself, you will have the right to use it, and you put it on the place you need for a long time. If there is a blackout, the diesel generator set can immediately supply power as a standby power supply, so that you don't need to contact the leasing company. It greatly shortens the time of power supply, it can reduce the risk brought to enterprises by unexpected situations.



This is a suggestion from a factory who produced 600kw diesel generator set, not as a final decision to buy generators, it depends on your requirement. But whatever buy generator set or rent, we need to know some related common sense about diesel generator set. Only in this way, we can choose the right generator set and avoid unnecessary losses caused by misleading.

Starlight power company share some common sense here.

1.The demarcation power of generator set

The generato set supplied to customers are commonly used generator set. It can supply power to load for 12 hours with rated power. Users can use power to calibrate the generator set of standby unit when the power failure is too frequent and the power supply time is not long. It operates at an average maixmun power of 80% for no more than 200 hours per years, and at a maximum power of 100% for no more than 25 hours per years.

2.Load analysis

Many factors affect the size of selected generating units. Inside, the characteristics of system load is an important factor. Before leasing a diesel generator, users must carefully consider the following points:

A.whether it is used as a common generator or a standby generator;
B.Consider the future increase in power consumption of the system; 
C.The allowable voltage drop of the system;
D.The starting of the motor.

3. Problems needing attention in matching generator sets with three-phase motors

Three-phase AC induction motors are the most commonly used in mechanical engineering. Because of their starting characteristics, these motors have direct power supply systems. If started directly online, surge current will be generated up to 6 times the click rated current. After the soft start device is installed, the starting current is very stable and will not impact the generator.

4. Care must be taken when starting an engine at low temperature

When the ambient temperature is too low or the engine does not need to be restarted for a long time, it will affect the normal establishment of the flow rate and oil pressure of the engine lubricant. At this time, it will take several minutes to idle after start-up, and it will not enter the normal working state until the oil pressure is normal.

5. At the same time, it is also necessary to avoid engine idling for a long time. The idling time should not exceed 5 minutes.

Intercooler generator oil extractor is equipped with water tank intercooler components.The air from the compressor of the supercharger does not enter directly into the intake pipe of the engine, but leads the supercharged air to the intercooler for water-air cooling. Compressed air is cooled to further increase its density, which is conducive to improving engine power and performance.

Is it better to rent or buy Diesel generators? If you are still struggling with this problem, go directly to diesel generator set manufacturer Jiangsu Starlight Electricity Equipment Co.,Ltd, We will provide the best reply and service to you.

Baudouan Weichai 1530KW Diesel Generator Set 16M33 Series Engine

Weichai is the earliest enterprise in China to develop and produce generator sets, with a production history of over 60 years. It mainly produces land - based and marine generator sets, including diesel - type and gas - type units. Weichai's M33 series engines include 6M33, 12M33, and 16M33 diesel engines. These are high - power high - speed diesel engines independently developed by Weichai based on the mature product platform of Baudouin's M26 series in France. The development of this series of models fills the gap in Weichai's high - speed diesel engines for power generation in the 500 - 1530kW power range, enabling effective competition with foreign brands. The M33 series Weichai engines inherit and carry forward the advanced product development and design concepts of the French Baudouin M26. They are benchmarked against international advanced engines, effectively avoiding various design defects. The product development emphasizes high reliability and low emissions. Th...

How to Connect A Diesel Generator to Your House?

Diesel generators are fuel-efficient and reliable, which can almost meet the power needs of any application. If you want to power the whole house during power shortages, it’s a good choice to choose a diesel generator set as the backup electricity supply. But how to connect a diesel generator to your house? Read on and you will find the answer. Options to connect a diesel generator to your home   Keep in mind that never plug your generator directly into the mains, or it will cause back feeding, damage your appliances and be life-threatening for utility workers. Generally, you can choose to connect a generator to your house by using extension cords or a transfer switch. Understanding the difference between them is helpful for you to choose the right type. Extension cords   Typically, extension cords are suitable for smaller diesel generators that used for short term. They require no installation and are cost-effective. If you need to power only some basic appliances such as...

What Should You Pay Attention to in Routine Maintenance of Diesel Generator Sets

In modern society, the stability of power supply is directly related to the operation efficiency of enterprises and people's quality of life. Diesel generators have become an indispensable backup power supply or main power source in various industries due to their high efficiency, durability and reliability. However, to ensure the smooth operation and optimal performance of the generator sets, regular maintenance is essential. Here is what you need to pay attention to in the routine maintenance of diesel generators. Keep your generator clean It’s important to keep the generator’s exterior and the generator room clean. Regularly remove any dirt, dust, or debris that may accumulate to on the generator’s surface. This is not only for the sake of beauty, but also for the smooth operation of the unit. Cleaning the generator’s exterior, air intake vents, exhaust outlets and generator room can effectively reduce the risk of generator overheating. In addition, check if the connection bol...
