How to Choose An Industrial Backup Diesel Generator?

In the field of modern industry, the stability and reliability of power supply plays an important role in maintaining business operations. Power interruption may bring huge economic losses and security risks to industries such as manufacturing, construction industry and service industry. Therefore, buying an industrial backup diesel generator with excellent performance is crucial to ensure the continuity and stability of business operations. In this article, Dingbo Power will share a few key factors to consider when choosing to purchase an industrial diesel generator.

Power requirements

First of all, when choosing a diesel generator for your business, you need to assess your power requirements. Figure out the total load that your generator needs to power. Consider the frequency and voltage requirements of your facilities, the daily and peak power consumption of your enterprise and the types of loads your generators need to support. Take into account both continuous running watts and peak starting watts. Consider potential future power needs and it’s wise to add 20-30% to your total power. Choose a diesel generator that is capable of providing enough power to meet the requirements of your equipment.

Portability and Stationary

Different applications require different types of diesel generators. Portable diesel generators are ideal for low energy demand situations or when a high level of mobility is required. If your company works in different locations and needs low or only temporary power, portable units suit you best. Portable generators often have wheels and can be moved to different places easily.

Unlike portable generators, stationary generators are designed for permanent installation and they cannot be moved. Station diesel generators are suitable for addressing very high power requirements, such as those of an enterprise, for very long periods of time. This type of generators come in wide range of sizes for a variety of industrial applications.

Fuel efficiency

Efficiency is a crucial consideration for diesel generators. When buying an industrial diesel generator, make sure that the one you choose is efficient. A diesel generator with high fuel efficiency can lead to significant cost savings in the long run because it can provide reliable power while consuming less fuel. Efficient generators also produce fewer emissions and contribute to reduced environmental impact.

Noise level

When choosing a diesel generator for your industrial application, the generator noise level should also be considered. Diesel generators produce noise when in use and their noise ratings are measured in decibels (dBA). Large industrial diesel generators can produce loud noises when operating. If your generators need to be installed near residential areas or quiet workspaces, consider choosing silent type diesel generators with soundproof enclosures and noise reduction materials.

Transfer switch

Transfer Switches transfer the load from the mains supply to the generator supply and back again. A transfer switch is usually installed near your circuit panel. By installing a transfer switch, you can safely switch between the sources manually or automatically depending on the installation and features of the transfer switch. An Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS)  has the ability to switch the diesel generator on when there is a loss of power, and once your regular power supply comes back, it turns off.
