Why are diesel generator sets the most cost-effective generator type? Which industries are it mainly used in?

June 02, 2022
Divided by different fuels, generator sets can be divided into diesel generator sets, gasoline generator sets, heavy oil generator sets, etc. We all know that the prices of diesel and gasoline are significantly different, and diesel has higher energy density than gasoline. This means that using the same volume of diesel can produce more energy than using the same volume of gasoline. Therefore diesel generator sets are considered to be the most cost-effective generator type on the market today.

Therefore diesel generator sets are considered to be the most cost-effective generator type on the market today.
 
       Next, let's take a look at the benefits of diesel generators in detail.
       The benefits of diesel generators could even be expressed in a long list, but the most notable features and benefits may include, but are not limited to, the following:
       Diesel generators are more reliable and robust than gasoline or natural gas generators. We all know that the fuel auto-ignition system in diesel generators has no spark. The lack of spark wires and plugs can be said to result in prohibitively low maintenance costs. One of the unbelievable reasons.
       Compared to natural gas generators, diesel generators require 30% to 50% less fuel per kilowatt of electricity! It can be seen that diesel generators are more suitable for current enterprises to use as backup or common power equipment. People who know diesel engines should know that diesel engines work at 1800rpm, and the water cooling unit can work for 12,000 to 30,000 hours before it may cost money for maintenance. However, generators running on natural gas can only run for 6,000-10,000 hours before maintenance is required.
In addition, since the calorific value of generators using natural gas is higher than that of diesel generators, the life span of natural gas generators is significantly lower than that of diesel generators.
 
       So, what industries can diesel generator sets be used in?
       Regarding the application field of diesel generators, it can be said that there is almost no industry that cannot use diesel generators. So, there is no doubt that the application and use of diesel generators spans countless commercial and industrial establishments. This diesel generator has many powers and models. For families that only need small loads, small diesel generators can fully meet all daily needs, while for industrial, commercial environments, schools, airports, stations, outdoor operations, construction sites , hospitals and other power needs large loads, diesel generators can also fully meet the demand. Even the most perfect choice.
       Not only that, diesel generators can be used not only as a backup power source, but also as a regular power source. In order to adapt to different working environments, diesel generators are also manufactured into different sizes, specifications and powers to meet the needs of different use environments. If you are looking for a backup power supply for your home, small shop, etc, it is usually recommended that you use a 5-30KW diesel generator, while if you are using it for industrial, commercial environments, schools, airports, stations, outdoor jobs, construction sites, hospitals and other operating environments, diesel generator sets of 30KW to 6MW or more are recommended.
