When to Add Coolant to a Diesel Generator (And What Type to Use)
Experiencing frequent overheating or radiator alarms? You may be adding coolant at the wrong time or using the wrong type altogether. You should only add coolant to a diesel generator when the engine is cool, ideally early in the morning or a few hours after shutdown to prevent burns and avoid thermal shock to engine […]
What Is the Output of a Diesel Generator?
Diesel generators look tough on the outside, but what really counts is the output they deliver when the power goes out. The output of a diesel generator refers to the amount of electrical power it can produce, typically rated as standby, prime, or continuous power in kilowatts (kW) or kilovolt-amperes (kVA). You may see diesel […]
How Long Can a Diesel Generator Run Continuously?
How long can a diesel generator run continuously? Let’s break it down. A diesel generator can run continuously for anywhere between 8 to 500 hours, depending on its type, design, and maintenance condition. Many clients ask this when planning long operations. I used to wonder the same thing when I first started working in power […]
Imported vs Chinese Diesel Generators: Which Lasts Longer?
Diesel generators are a long-term investment, and durability is a major concern. Many buyers hesitate between well-known imported brands and affordable Chinese-made options. Which one lasts longer? Imported diesel generators generally have higher durability due to superior materials and stricter quality control, while Chinese-made generators offer competitive lifespans with improvements in manufacturing and design. Both […]
Why SMEs Need Diesel Generators and How to Choose the Right One
Power outages can disrupt small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), causing revenue loss and operational downtime. Without a reliable backup power solution, businesses risk halting production, losing customers, and damaging their reputation. Diesel generators provide SMEs with a cost-effective and reliable backup power solution. They ensure continuous operations during outages, reducing business disruptions and protecting revenue. […]
How to Inspect a Diesel Generator: Checklist, Load Test & Tools
Unexpected diesel generator failure during a blackout is painful. We advise customers avoid this with a proper inspection checklist. To check a diesel generator, we recommend inspect fuel, oil, coolant, battery, belts, hoses, and control panel. Also test under load and observe vibration and exhaust. As a manufacturer and exporter, we support our distributors and […]
Transformer vs Generator: What’s the Difference?
A power outage can bring operations to a halt. Many people confuse transformers and generator sets (GenSets), assuming they perform the same function. But do they? A transformer changes voltage levels but does not generate power, while a GenSet produces electricity but does not change voltage. Transformers work with existing power sources, whereas generators create […]
What Are the Functions of a Diesel Generator?
Many businesses suffer losses during power failures. A diesel generator steps in as a reliable solution to keep everything running. A diesel generator converts diesel fuel into electricity to provide backup or primary power for homes, businesses, and industrial operations. Generators are more than emergency tools. They are power sources in remote areas, support systems […]
How Much Electricity Does 1 Gallon of Diesel Produce?
In the power generation world, every drop of diesel matters. But how much electricity can we really squeeze from a single gallon? One gallon of diesel can generate approximately 13 to 14 kWh of electricity, depending on the generator’s efficiency and load conditions. This conversion is a key figure for planning fuel budgets and assessing […]
