Before operating the diesel generator, please read the manual. Especially following points should be paid attention to for preventing the accident happened. The engine fuel is light diesel. It is forbidden to adopt gasoline and kerosene etc. When the oil overflows, please use a clean cloth to remove the oil. It is not permitted to have diesel generators with gasoline, kerosene, match and inflammable material, because the temperature around the muffler is very high when the engine is operated. For the sake of better ventilation during the generator operation, the distance between the diesel generator and the building should be more than 1.5meters. The diesel generator should be operated on plain ground. Otherwise, the oil will overflow from a diesel generator.

Diesel generator set is a kind of power supply equipment which takes diesel engine as the prime mover and drags synchronous generator to generate electricity. It has the characteristics of high stand-alone capacity, high power, simple maintenance, compact structure, etc. According to different control systems, diesel generators are divided into open-frame type, fully automatic type, one-button type, etc. This article mainly introduces how the diesel generator starts.

Diesel engines have been used in many industries and equipment since they were produced, including generators powered by diesel engines. The diesel-powered generators have no spark plugs, and their efficiency comes from compressed air. We all know that diesel-fueled internal combustion engines ignite the atomized fuel by injecting diesel into the combustion chamber, and the temperature of the compressed air in the cylinder increases, so it can burn instantly without spark ignition. Also, due to the high energy density content of diesel, diesel can provide more power than gasoline when burning the same volume of fuel.

No matter where you are, you can be affected by a power outage, especially in winter. Likewise, there are many industries that must have a reliable backup method to safely generate electricity when needed. For backup power systems, there are many types of generators that can be used to generate electricity in times of emergency. For now, there are two main types of generators, namely diesel generators and gas generators. However, what is the specific functions of these generators? Let’s learn about some differences between diesel and gas generators so that we can choose the most suitable backup power system.

A diesel generator is a small power generation equipment, which refers to a powerful machine that uses diesel as fuel and uses a diesel engine as a prime mover to drive the generator to generate electricity. The whole set is generally composed of a diesel engine, generator, control box, fuel tank, storage battery for starting and control, protection device, emergency cabinet and other components. Silent diesel generators with 3 kW~10 kW can be used for daily power generation and emergency power generation in various homes, offices, and large, medium and small enterprises. A generator is a mechanical device that converts other forms of energy into electrical energy.
