Noise Decibels of Environmentally Friendly Diesel Generators

Since diesel generators use diesel engines as power to convert diesel into electricity, they generate a great deal of noise during operation. Especially, the greater the power of the diesel generator, the louder the noise. The better the quality and workmanship of the generator set, the relatively smaller the noise. The noise of diesel generators mainly includes exhaust noise, mechanical noise, combustion noise, cooling fan and exhaust air noise, intake air noise, generator noise, and foundation vibration noise.

Ordinary diesel generator sets often produce noise that disturbs residents during operation. So, what harm can this noise cause to the human body? What is the noise level of an ordinary diesel generator set during operation? The noise values measured at different positions of the diesel generator set are different. Here, we will only discuss the average value. The average noise level at a distance of 1 meter from an ordinary diesel generator set is about 120 decibels.

According to the perception of ordinary people: 0 - 20 decibels is very quiet and almost imperceptible. 20 - 40 decibels is quiet, like a soft whisper. 40 - 60 decibels is average. Ordinary indoor conversation is 60 - 70 decibels, which is noisy and can damage nerves. 70 - 90 decibels is very noisy, and nerve cells will be damaged. 90 - 100 decibels means the noise intensifies and hearing will be impaired. 100 - 120 decibels is unbearable, and staying for one minute can cause temporary deafness. Therefore, noise has a significant impact on our lives.

Current national noise standards:

For environmental noise in residential areas: it should not exceed 50 decibels during the day and should be lower than 45 (40) decibels at night.

For the working environment: < 65 decibels.

If people live in an environment with noise above 80 decibels for a long time, it can cause irritability and hearing loss. Noise has a damaging effect on the central nervous system of humans and can induce cardiovascular diseases. When eating in a strong noise environment, the capillaries in the gastrointestinal tract will contract, the secretion of digestive juices and gastrointestinal peristalsis will weaken, and the normal blood supply will be disrupted. Strong noise can also cause abnormal pregnancy and impaired intellectual development in children. Therefore, in daily life, we should try to reduce the sources and spread of noise. 

Therefore, in daily life, we should try our best to reduce the sources and spread of noise. When using diesel generators, please try to keep them away from residential areas. If it is really necessary to use them near residential areas, make sure to add noise reduction measures. You can customize container-type silent generators or choose to carry out noise reduction for the generator room and sound insulation renovation of the generator room. Try to minimize the impact of diesel generator noise on the lives of residents. Container-type silent generator sets have the advantages of beautiful appearance, reasonable structure, good sealing performance, fully enclosed cabinets, rainproof, snowproof, dustproof, the ability to work in harsh environments, good soundproof effect, and convenient lifting.

As a professional diesel generator manufacturer, we always insist on using first-class talents to build a first-class enterprise, create first-class products, create first-class services, and strive to build a first-class domestic enterprise.

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 (...

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...
