Silent generators will be better choice, they are equipped with rainproof soundproof cover, effectively reduce the noise, and can be installed in the outdoor use, not affected by the weather environment.
• Temperature factors, diesel generators are used in cold areas, such as winter temperatures of minus 40 degrees, diesel generator sets must be installed with heaters to ensure that they can be started normally in low-temperature environments.
• Altitude factors, conventional generator sets meet the work at an altitude of less than 1000 metres above sea level, but in plateau areas or altitudes of more than 1000 metres above sea level, the power of the diesel generator sets will be reduced. The higher the altitude, the power of the generator sets will be reduced more.
• Anti-corrosion/salt spray, if the diesel generator sets will be installed on the seaside use or island, stainless steel material silent diesel generator can be very good anti-corrosion, to extend the life of the silent shell.
