Do You Know What Factors Affect the Power of Diesel Generator

The diesel generator can be used as a backup power supply for workplaces, families and enterprises, and can maintain the operation of key systems in case of power failure. There are many forms of generators, but their working principles are based on the laws of electromagnetic induction and electromagnetic force. Therefore, the general principle of its construction is to use appropriate magnetic and conductive materials to form a magnetic circuit and circuit for mutual electromagnetic induction, in order to generate electromagnetic power and achieve the purpose of energy conversion. Now, Dingbo Power will take you to understand the power factors that affect diesel generator and what to consider when purchasing diesel generator sets.

What factors affect the power of diesel generator set?

1. Altitude

Generally, Diesel generator is used at an altitude of no more than 1000 meters. For example, when the altitude rises by 100 meters, the power decreases by 5%. Because the higher the altitude is, the lower the oxygen content will be due to the influence of air pressure, which will lead to insufficient air intake and combustion in the combustion chamber, leading to a decrease in power.

2. Environmental temperature

The normal operating temperature is -15 degrees below zero to -40 degrees above zero. Most low temperatures require the installation of an anti-condensation system for easy start-up and use.

3. Heat dissipation

The diesel generator set normally dissipates heat through the surrounding environment and water tank. If the surrounding heat dissipation is not good, it will lead to high temperature of the diesel generator set, which is very easy to damage various parts inside the diesel engine. Therefore, under normal circumstances, the power needs to be increased by 5% to 10%.

What factors should be considered when purchasing diesel generator?

1. Considering power

The main performance index of Diesel generator is power. Only the appropriate power can help users to carry out daily processing and production. The purchase of too small power Diesel generator can not meet our use needs, and too large will cause waste. Therefore, when purchasing a Diesel generator, we suggest the customer to explain their own use, and then let our generator set manufacturer recommend a genset of suitable power for you.

2. Considering fuel consumption

When the power is determined, fuel consumption should be considered. Fuel consumption is a problem that many engines should consider. Fuel consumption is not only related to the performance of the diesel generator set, but also related to the economic input of users. The diesel engine with low fuel consumption and high performance is ours. Therefore, it is necessary to communicate with the merchants when purchasing to understand the fuel consumption of diesel generator.

3. Consider usage

In fact, we should know that diesel generator sets are divided into prime and standby ones. The commonly used diesel generator has to run for a long time, so the quality of the generator used is better, and the price is much higher. On the contrary, backup gensets are mainly used for backup purposes, while generator sets choose regular models with lower prices.
