What Is a Containerized Diesel Generator?

Diesel generators are renowned for their reliability, durability, fuel efficiency and low maintenance. They are commonly used as emergency backup power supply or used in remote areas where the power grid is unavailable. When buying a diesel generator set for an application in a noise-sensitive location, you need a noise-reducing solution. Silent type generators often come either containerized or with a canopy. In this article, we’ll explore the containerized diesel generators and their applications.

What is a containerized diesel generator?

A containerized diesel generator is a power generator that produces electricity by burning diesel fuel and has been built within a standard ISO shipping container. This containerized approach has many advantages, such as mobility, easy deployment, and scalability. Containerized diesel generators are used as a backup or single power source for companies and factories that require a large amount of power. They are ideal for emergency or continuous power and can can reach a high-power output of 3000kW.

Advantages of containerized diesel generators

A canopied generator is built to protect the inside of the generator from the elements. Those units being housed within a soundproof canopy can attenuate noise effectively and are commonly used in residential, commercial and industrial applications. Compared to canopied generator sets, containerized diesel generators have the following benefits:

Easy transport

A containerized diesel generator is packaged and delivered as a complete unit within a standard ISO container, which is easy for transportation to the most remote worksites. Forklift slots and lifting eyes are also integrated, which also facilitate transportation and on-site installation. These generators can be easily transported from one worksite to the next.

Low noise level

The interior of the container adopts high frequency, medium frequency, low frequency PUR type flame retardant sound-absorbing cotton to effectively reduce the different noises emanating from various parts of the unit. The internal box-type silencer helps to attenuate exhaust noise in the roof and air in/outlet effectively. Generally, acoustically enclosed or canopied generators range from 75-85 dB(A) at one meter.

Easy installation and maintenance

The robust design of the containerized generator sets enables them to withstand harsh environments. They can operate reliably even in the hottest environments - validated at ambient temperatures of up to 50 degrees Celsius. This type of diesel generators is weatherproof and dustproof. The secure container keeps the generator in a safe, clean environment, requiring less routine checks and maintenance. The integrated ladder and 2 end doors and 2 lateral doors also simplify installation, access and maintenance of generator.

Applications of containerized diesel generators

Containerized diesel generators have been widely used in various fields due to their portability, easy installation and maintenance, high performance and other advantages. These generator sets can be used in various applications such as remote locations, disaster recovery, events, back-up power and construction sites where there is a need for reliable power supply.

Remote locations

Containerized diesel generators are suitable for use in remote locations, such as temporary camps, construction sites, military bases and areas without reliable access to the grid. It can be utilized to power a wide range of heavy duty tools and equipment.

Disaster recovery

Containerized generator are easy to transport and install, which are ideal for disaster recovery. They can provide reliable power and aid recovery after a natural disaster.

Construction sites

The durable and robust containerized generator sets are ideally suited for independent power producer (IPP), mining, oil and gas, or any project where harsh conditions, challenging environments and the demand for reliable, continuous remote power exist.

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...
