Diesel generator

A diesel generator will solve the problem of rolling and emergency power outages, and also guarantees an uninterrupted and independent power supply. A diesel power plant is suitable for both home and business and government enterprises, because without electricity, work completely stops, and downtime of 1-2 days is fraught with inconvenience and losses.

What are the features and advantages of diesel generators?

The diesel generator is used to service households, private enterprises and government agencies as the main and alternative source of electricity:

• for home and garden;

• in factories, factories, farms;

• in hypermarkets, shops and kiosks;

• at construction sites and industrial enterprises, during road work;

• to eliminate the consequences of an emergency;

• in hospitals and other government agencies.

An autonomous diesel power plant has a number of advantages.

1. Endurance. Some models can withstand up to two days of continuous operation. The type of cooling can be air (due to atmospheric air) or liquid (circulation of coolant).

2. Economic benefit. Diesel is cheaper than gasoline, so the cost of 1 kW is lower than that of gasoline power plants.

3. High power. A diesel generator from 200 kW covers 100% of the electricity needs of large industrial facilities. The installation of several power plants gives a total energy of 1 megawatt or more.

A diesel station fully pays for its cost due to its high efficiency, and the low price of fuel is an additional advantage.

How to choose and use a diesel generator efficiently and reliably?

In Ukraine, you can buy a diesel generator in an online store. According to their design, the units come in two types.

1. Mobile. They are often equipped with wheels and a durable frame containing the engine and alternator. The portable device can be moved from place to place. It can be either single-phase (220 V) or three-phase (380 V). Most often, mobile units provide a maximum power of up to 15 kW, which is enough for a home, office and backup power in case of power outages.

2. Stationary. Such devices are the most powerful. Used for electrification of large facilities. They also come in both single and three phase. They are not suitable for transportation due to their overall dimensions, but if necessary, some power plants are installed on a cargo trailer.

The power of the power plant is tailored to the specific needs of the buyer. The range of generated electricity is within 5-200 kW and more. The maximum electrical demand is taken into account to select the electrical installation that meets individual power requirements.

Before purchasing a diesel generator, it is worth planning in advance where it will be located. Large installations require a separate room with good ventilation.

For the operation of a diesel power plant, it is worth considering that diesel loses its liquid properties at a temperature of -5°C. Therefore, in cold weather, to operate the station on diesel fuel, engine heating is required. To ensure that problems with fuel freezing do not arise at all, the unit is installed in a room with a positive temperature.

When a diesel generator is turned on, the noise level increases to approximately 90 dB. To minimize noise, it is recommended to purchase a device with a housing. The casing will not only make the engine run quieter, but will also serve as protection from liquids and dirt.

A diesel generator for home and business is a durable model for a backup and main source of electricity. The online store presents stations with a quality guarantee and at competitive prices from Ukrainian and foreign manufacturers.

Diesel generators: reliable energy sources for industry

The diesel unit is used in industry. Due to the fact that a diesel generator can operate for several hours without stopping, it is used for electrification of enterprises with a continuous production cycle.

Such a power plant is a reliable source of energy for industry. The installation, depending on the power, will power the workshop, factory and plant. For industrial purposes, a three-phase diesel generator is often required. It powers 380 V consumers, which include machine tools, welding equipment, video surveillance systems, water supply and heating.

It is worth noting that a diesel power plant is suitable not only for industrial, but also for home use. A diesel generator for the home powers household appliances, pumping equipment and other electricity consumers in a country house, cottage or private house. To minimize inconvenience due to noise, it is better for your home to purchase a station with a protective casing - it absorbs the noise of a running engine. The unit is installed away from living spaces and windows.

Maintenance of diesel generators: secrets of long and uninterrupted operation

Proper installation and maintenance of the power plant is the key to its long-term operation without breakdowns. In order for a diesel generator to remain operational for a long time, it must be operated correctly. Follow a few tips to help your power plant run at peak performance.

1. Avoid overwork and omissions. The station should not operate at wear and tear (more than 75% of power). This causes the mechanism to overheat and fail. At the same time, idle work should not be allowed. Therefore, before purchasing a unit, calculate the total power of the connected devices in order to select a suitable station.

2. Ensure that the engine is heated in cold weather. Diesel thickens at sub-zero temperatures, so in winter the power plant must be kept in a heated room with a positive temperature. At the same time, do not forget that the room must not only be heated, but also ventilated for the safe operation of the device and exhaust gases to be vented outside.

3. Perform regular maintenance. Changing the oil, cleaning air filters, inspecting the body for chips and cracks - the more thoroughly and often you inspect, the sooner you will detect a breakdown. Remember that it is better to prevent a problem than to later buy a new generator or spend money on expensive repairs.

4. Avoid prolonged downtime. The diesel generator must be turned on at least once a month. Long downtime harms the mechanism and reduces its service life. This station is designed to be used for a long time and often.

5. Do not use substitute fuel. Of course, diesel “under the counter” is cheaper. But its composition is far from quality standards. Filling with a surrogate will damage the engine faster. In addition, to produce 1 kW of energy, more surrogate is required than high-quality diesel, so you won’t be able to save on refueling.

If you plan to buy a diesel generator and use it for more than one year, give preference to certified products. It is manufactured in accordance with EU and Ukrainian standards, is tested and is suitable for use both at home and for industrial purposes. The Etsenergy store presents diesel power plants from the brands Alimar, KAMA, Hyndai, Matari, Genergy and others.
