Advantages of Buying Used Generators

1) The cost-benefit advantages of used generators: Typically used generators do not come with a warranty, however, it can be very advantageous to purchase a used model for a number of reasons.   One of these advantages is, of course, cost.   Often used generators, even with low hours on the engines, are substantially less than the cost of new generators with savings of anything up to about 50% compare to the cost of a new one. 2) Availability and quick installation: Another benefit of opting for used generators is that of availability.   They can be bought and installed very quickly, you can simply purchase and arrange to ship immediately. 3) Diesel generators are built to last. Also, it is important to bear in mind that big name manufacturers build industrial strength equipment that is built to last so the risk is negligible.   Generators have a long lifespan, built to carry out their function of providing essential power, whether it b...

Basic Maintenance of Diesel Generator

It’s important to get a qualified engineer to look after your diesel generators . However there are some things that you can do to reduce the chance of problems when you need your gen set to work. Here a few self-help ideas. Regular Start-Ups Implement a monthly generator test schedule.   It will enable you to test for generator faults and make sure that systems and people are all ready to to their jobs. Check the battery and replace it if there are any signs of deterioration. Filters The fuel and lubricating oil filters in your generator will degrade whether or not it has been running.   So make sure that they are changed in line with maintenance schedules at the minimum or more frequently if the operating environment demands it. Check Fuel Quality It’s easy for moisture to build up in the fuel tank of your generator and that can cause algae growth.   You can buy algae inhibitors to stop the build-up from affecting the performance of y...

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 o...

How Does a Diesel Generator Work?

How Does a Diesel Generator Work? A diesel powered generator is the combination of a diesel engine and an alternator or electric generator to generate electrical energy. Here the alternator is the generator which generates the electric power and engine is used to rotate the electric generator. Diesel generators are mostly used as an emergency power supply. 1. Working Principle Diesel Generator works in four cycles: Suction/Intake Compression Power Exhaust The working principle of a diesel generator is based on the law of Energy conversion i.e. “Energy can neither be created nor be destroyed but be only converted from one form to another form.” Since diesel has chemical energy, during combustion the chemical energy is converted into heat and force. This force is known as mechanical energy which helps in rotating the alternator. The combustion process in a diesel engine is commenced by spontaneous ignition of the fuel when it is injected into a highly compressed ...

Reasons for Diesel Generator Set Vibration

This article will guide you to learn about the reasons and solutions for diesel genset vibration. If you are interested, keep reading. The structure of diesel generator contains both electrical and mechanical parts, which can also be said to be a combination of mechanical and electrical. Therefore, its failure is divided into two analysis. The cause of the vibration fault of the generator is also divided into two parts. In general, generator vibration is caused unbalanced, electromagnetic or mechanical failure of the rotating part. 1. The unbalance of the rotating part is mainly caused by the imbalance of the rotor, the coupler, the coupling, and the transmission wheel (brake wheel). the treatment method is to find the rotor balance first. If there are large drive wheels, brake wheels, couplers, and couplings, separate the balance from the rotor. If there are large transmission wheels, brake wheels, couplings, separate and separate from the rotor to find a good balance. Then...

Would You Suggest a Gas or Diesel Generator for Longevity?

Gasoline: Advantages: Common fuel source - easily obtained Increases portability of smaller generators Disadvantages: Highly flammable. Short shelf life of fuel, (approximately 12 months). Storing large quantities of fuel is hazardous. May not be available during power outages. Somewhat expensive fuel. Check your local prices, inefficient. Diesel: Advantages: Least flammable fuel source Fuel easily obtained (fuel is easier to obtain during a disaster because it is a necessary fuel for the military, trucking industry, and farming operations). On site fuel delivery available. Engine life for liquid-cooled 1800 RPM engines can approach 20,000 hours if properly serviced depending on the application and environment. High speed 3600 RPM diesel engines normally have a 10,000 to 15,000 hour life expectancy with proper maintenance and service under most conditions. Less expensive to operate. The general rule of thumb for fuel consumption is 7% of the rated generator output (Ex...

What Is the Difference Between Biogas Generator and Diesel Generator

Biogas generator is a facility which produces biogas that can be later used for heating, cooking or making electricity. Biogas is mostly made of methane but also other gases and is produced by microorganisms also known as bacteria when they decompose other organic material. A biogas generator is a reactor or chemical processing system designed to organically break down biological source materials into gasses such as methane and hydrogen that can then be combined with oxygen for use as a source of fuel. Many types of waste matter can be used to generate biogas, including municipal waste and manure, plant waste from crop fields, residential lawns, parks, and more. Simple biogas generation systems are not hard to build, and are often the subject of high school science projects. Diesel generators are an alternative, reliable source of voltage power often used by homes and businesses. Diesel generators produce electricity by using an alternator and a diesel engine. The engine use...

What Is Droop Control for a Generator

The droop speed is the drop in speed with load and is a characteristic of the governor or speed regulator for the prime mover. When used as a standalone generator this will determine the drop in frequency. It is typically 2-4% at full load. When used in conjunction with other generators (in parallel) then the generators sets will share the total load based on the droop characteristic. If they are identical then they will share equally. Two generators using droop control to provide max power at 60Hz. One has a 63.4 Hz reference and the other 61.8Hz reference for both to deliver full power at 60 Hz. Thus the aim of droop control is to adjust the governor speed references to firstly achieve the correct system frequency and secondly share load in accordance with the respective generators contribution in terms of its generating capacity. This allows generators of different sizes to share the total load unlike isochronous operation which does not. Voltage droop control...

How to Decrease the Consumption of Diesel Generator

Efficiency is always a goal, especially when using a fuel that requires storage in sufficient quantities. Fuel use directly equates to power consumption. The more electrical power used, the more fuel the generator will use to produce it. For example, consider the fuel consumption of this 50 kilowatt diesel generator operating at 50%, 75%, and 100% of rated load. 50% load (25 kilowatts) = 2.15 gallons (8.14 liters) per hour. 75% load (37.5 kilowatts) = 3.06 gallons (11.58 liters) per hour. 100% load (50 kilowatts) = 3.98 gallons (15.07 liters) per hour. Clearly, increasing power consumption uses more fuel. What may not be so obvious is that at the higher load, less fuel is consumed per kilowatt than at the lower load. 0.0860 gallons an hour per kilowatt at 50% load. 0.0816 gallons an hour per kilowatt at 75% load. 0.0796 gallons an hour per kilowatt at 100% load. This particular generator operates most efficiently under 100% rated load of 50 kilowa...
