Why are diesel generators ideal for supplementing power to the grid? What are the advantages compared to gasoline and gas generators?

If you want to get stable and continuous power to run all equipment and machines in the daily operation, production, and construction of the enterprise at any time, even during power outages, you need a backup or emergency diesel generator as a powerful supplement to the grid. It is a simple fact that the mains power grid is not always perfect, and even large cities are sometimes affected by power outages. Diesel generators generate electricity and can be an excellent backup power source when needed. For example, emergency power is needed in natural disasters such as severe weather, hurricanes, or floods, and diesel generators can meet many daily needs. In commercial facilities and shopping malls or industrial sites, diesel generators are usually the best equipment for supplementing power.


During the daily office power outages of the enterprise, diesel generators can provide backup power to keep lighting, power office equipment and air conditioning systems, and run other electrical appliances as needed. A good diesel generator can also meet daily needs, such as working in a garage, working in a tool shed, or working outdoors away from a power outlet.


In commercial facilities such as hospitals, gymnasiums and school buildings, backup power from diesel generators is essential for the safety and security of large numbers of people. Generators in these facilities will be connected to the main power line and wired so that if the power to the facility is cut, the diesel generator will immediately turn on to avoid interruptions in the required power. This is especially important in hospital environments where lives depend on machines that rely on electricity.


Diesel generators are also valuable during outdoor construction or various offshore operations. If construction work is carried out in these places, having a diesel generator can provide a stable and continuous power supply for power tools, construction equipment, lighting, etc. to ensure that the progress of the project can be completed smoothly.


Compared with other generators

Diesel generators have their own advantages or characteristics compared to other types of generators such as gas generators and gasoline generators. In modern times, diesel generators play an important role in creating electricity and supporting production. There are many types of diesel generators. When choosing a diesel generator, it is recommended that you choose the type that suits you best.

 

The following advantages of diesel generators can be used as a reference for your purchase of diesel generators.

 

1. Longer service time.

 

Generally speaking, diesel generators can run for longer periods of time. Compared to other types of generators that often break down due to overuse or at least need to be shut down, diesel generators can last longer, making them a preferred alternative in emergency situations. Other types of generators, such as gas generators and gasoline generators, will quickly overheat and need to be shut down to cool down. Using a diesel generator can help avoid this, and water-cooled and air-cooled engines not only make them stronger, but also faster.

 

2. Less maintenance.

Diesel generators are much stronger than other types of generators, such as gas generators and gasoline generators. Diesel generators do not have clogged and greasy parts such as carburetors and spark plugs, making the maintenance of diesel generators much easier.

 

3. Greater output.

In the long run, buying and using a diesel generator will be a cost-effective choice. Compared to the amount of gas and gasoline used, diesel generates much more electricity. What's more, the price of diesel fuel itself is actually cheaper.

 

4. Wide application.

Diesel generators can actually be used for personal or commercial purposes. You can use it to generate electricity. For home use, the power can range from 4KW to 15KW. For commercial or industrial use, the power can range from 20KW-3000KW, or even more if needed.
