Briefly describe the difference between diesel generator sets and gasoline generator sets

Generator sets can be divided into gasoline generator sets and diesel generator sets according to different fuels. As a backup power generator set, either diesel generators or gasoline generators can be selected. Gasoline generators are generally used for household lighting and air-conditioning electricity, and diesel generators are mainly used for main and backup power sources in hotels, breeding enterprises, chemical enterprises, etc.

Diesel generator sets

 

      Generator sets can be divided into gasoline generator sets and diesel generator sets according to different fuels. As a backup power generator set, either diesel generators or gasoline generators can be selected. So, when buying a generator set, is it a diesel generator or a gasoline generator? What is the difference between a diesel generator set and a gasoline generator set? Dingbo Power will take you to find out.

 

      The difference between diesel generator set and gasoline generator set

      1. The obvious difference is the fuel, diesel generator fuel is diesel, gasoline generator fuel is gasoline.

      2. Different body types. Diesel generator sets are relatively large, while gasoline generator sets are relatively small.

      3. Different output power. The output power of diesel generator sets is larger than that of gasoline generator sets. The general gasoline generator power is between 0.5-10kw; the range of diesel generator sets is relatively large, and the power range is 8-2000kw

      4. Different types of ignition. In the cylinder of a gasoline engine, the mixture of fuel and air is ignited by a spark plug. In a diesel engine, the mixture is ignited using the heat from compression.

      5. Different cooling methods. Gasoline generators are mainly air-cooled, small in size and easy to move; diesel generators are mainly water-cooled, large in size and inconvenient to move.

      6. Different places of use. Gasoline generators are generally used for household lighting and air conditioning, while diesel generators are mainly used for main and backup power sources in hotels, breeding enterprises, chemical enterprises, etc.

 

      The above is the difference between a simple diesel generator set and a gasoline generator set. Diesel generator sets and gasoline generator sets have their own advantages and characteristics. Users need to choose a generator set according to their actual needs, and the one that suits them is the best. .
