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.

Diesel Generator Power Ratings: Standby vs Prime vs Continuous

Diesel generator sets are commonly used in a variety of sectors due to their dependable performance and high efficiency. They can be used for emergency power supply in the event of a power cut or used in places without connection to a power grid. When selecting a diesel generator for your home or business, you need to consider many factors, such as generator’s ratings. In this article, we’ll explain the three basic rating types - standby, prime, and continuous in diesel generators. ISO-8528-1:2018 defines basic generator set rating categories based on four operational categories: Emergency Standby Power (ESP), Prime Power (PRP), Continuous Power (COP) and Limited-Time Running Prime (LTP). Read on and learn the application of power ratings for engines used in generating sets. Standby Power Rating Standby Power(ESP) is used to supply emergency power when the external power supply is interrupted, such as power outages. Standby power rated generators can supply reliable electricity as t...

How to Choose a Household Mini Generator

With the improvement of people's living standards, there are more and more household appliances, such as rice cookers, microwaves, kettles, refrigerators, air - conditioners, washing machines, etc. It can be said that every household has them. But what if there is a power outage? These appliances won't work properly, and our lives will be greatly disrupted. How can we avoid this? We can use household mini - generators to provide convenience in power consumption. So, how to choose a good household mini - generator? Consider the noise level Since it is for household use, when choosing a household mini - generator, we need to check whether the noise will affect the neighbors. Generally, the seller will demonstrate the performance of the generator in advance. A good household generator can reduce noise by about 80%. Choose a generator with a moderate price Due to different brands, there are significant differences in power, and consequently, the price differences of househ...

How to Choose Efficient Diesel Generators for the Film and Television Industry?

In the film and television industry, the stability of the electricity supply during filming is crucial. Whether the equipment are the cameras or the lighting equipment on the filming site, or the post-production equipment, they all need stable and reliable power support. Unstable or interrupted power can result in interrupted filming, damage to equipment, and even affecting the progress and quality of the entire project. Therefore, investing in high-efficiency diesel generator sets has become an important measure for the film and television industry to ensure the reliable power supply for shooting. Determine the power requirements Before choosing a diesel generator set for the film and television industry, it’s necessary to figure out the total power needs, including the electricity demand of the shooting location, the total power of the electrical equipment and the time of using electricity. Also consider whether there are special needs for the generators such as low noise level and...
