How to Choose An Industrial Backup Diesel Generator?

In the field of modern industry, the stability and reliability of power supply plays an important role in maintaining business operations. Power interruption may bring huge economic losses and security risks to industries such as manufacturing, construction industry and service industry. Therefore, buying an industrial backup diesel generator with excellent performance is crucial to ensure the continuity and stability of business operations. In this article, Dingbo Power will share a few key factors to consider when choosing to purchase an industrial diesel generator.

Power requirements

First of all, when choosing a diesel generator for your business, you need to assess your power requirements. Figure out the total load that your generator needs to power. Consider the frequency and voltage requirements of your facilities, the daily and peak power consumption of your enterprise and the types of loads your generators need to support. Take into account both continuous running watts and peak starting watts. Consider potential future power needs and it’s wise to add 20-30% to your total power. Choose a diesel generator that is capable of providing enough power to meet the requirements of your equipment.

Portability and Stationary

Different applications require different types of diesel generators. Portable diesel generators are ideal for low energy demand situations or when a high level of mobility is required. If your company works in different locations and needs low or only temporary power, portable units suit you best. Portable generators often have wheels and can be moved to different places easily.

Unlike portable generators, stationary generators are designed for permanent installation and they cannot be moved. Station diesel generators are suitable for addressing very high power requirements, such as those of an enterprise, for very long periods of time. This type of generators come in wide range of sizes for a variety of industrial applications.

Fuel efficiency

Efficiency is a crucial consideration for diesel generators. When buying an industrial diesel generator, make sure that the one you choose is efficient. A diesel generator with high fuel efficiency can lead to significant cost savings in the long run because it can provide reliable power while consuming less fuel. Efficient generators also produce fewer emissions and contribute to reduced environmental impact.

Noise level

When choosing a diesel generator for your industrial application, the generator noise level should also be considered. Diesel generators produce noise when in use and their noise ratings are measured in decibels (dBA). Large industrial diesel generators can produce loud noises when operating. If your generators need to be installed near residential areas or quiet workspaces, consider choosing silent type diesel generators with soundproof enclosures and noise reduction materials.

Transfer switch

Transfer Switches transfer the load from the mains supply to the generator supply and back again. A transfer switch is usually installed near your circuit panel. By installing a transfer switch, you can safely switch between the sources manually or automatically depending on the installation and features of the transfer switch. An Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS)  has the ability to switch the diesel generator on when there is a loss of power, and once your regular power supply comes back, it turns off.

At Dingbo Power, we provide various types of diesel generators with power capacity ranging from 25kva to 3000kva.We can provide you with the best generator for your business. Feel free to contact us with any questions, concerns, or inquiries to learn more about the products & services we provide.

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...

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...
