Why Diesel Generators?
Diesel generators
have longer life when
compared to other
types of fuel (natural
gas or gasoline).
Acquisition and
maintenance cost is less
when compared to
natural gas. Natural gas
require spark ignition
while diesel
generators are
operated by using
compression ignition.
There are two types of
diesel generators. Open
frame and closed frame.
Closed frame are also
known as “silent
generators”.
Why do people prefer diesel power instead of gasoline? Gas engine power generators
usually run around 1000 hours before being replaced or for repair purpose. But
diesel engines generally run 20,000 hours before needing any service beyond routine
maintenance.
Diesel is flammable and non-toxic. They are simpler in design than gas engines.
Diesel generators require basic maintenance like changing the oil or changing the
fuel, air and oil filters. But you don’t have to deal with tune-ups, no carburetor
adjustments, no distributor or magneto to burn out and no spark plugs which require
periodic cleaning and replacement.
