Why Many Users Choose Diesel Generators Instead of Gasoline Engines

In modern life, there are more and more users who use diesel generators as backup power sources. Although the power generation modes are various, people still choose this unit. Many customers questioned this question. Why not choose a gasoline engine?

Gasoline engines are inefficient and use the same quality gasoline engines to generate less electricity than diesel engines of the same quality.

Gasoline prices are high and the same volume of gasoline is higher than diesel prices. Gasoline density and diesel density are also different.

Diesel storage is safer than gasoline. Gasoline burns at more than 400 degrees Celsius under atmospheric pressure. A higher ignition point fuel requires a spark plug engine. Use diesel fuel that has a flash point of about 200 degrees Celsius under atmospheric pressure.

The output power of a diesel engine is greater than that of a gasoline engine. The maximum power of a typical gasoline engine is only 10 KW, while the minimum power of a diesel engine is 8 KW, and the maximum power can reach over a kilowatt.

The diesel generator set has multiple stand-alone capacity levels and is easily configured. From the capacity point of view, from a few kilowatts to several thousand kilowatts, according to the purpose and load of a wide range of selectable capacity, the use of a variety of capacity, one or more units can be used as a backup power supply, the installed capacity can be flexibly configured.

Diesel generator sets have relatively simple supporting equipment, fewer auxiliary equipment, small size, light weight, flexible and convenient, and easy to move. The diesel engine group adopts the independent configuration mode, and the standby or emergency unit is generally used together with the variable distribution device.

The effective thermal efficiency of a diesel engine is relatively high, about 30% to 46%, so its fuel consumption is low.

The diesel engine startup time generally takes only a few seconds. In an emergency state, the class takes full load within one minute, indicating that the start-up is rapid and can reach full power quickly. The diesel engine shutdown process is also very short and can be frequently started and stopped. Therefore, diesel generators are very suitable as emergency or backup power supply.
