Advantages of Air Cooled Diesel Generators

Choosing a diesel generator driven by an air-cooled engine has many unique features compared to traditional water-cooled diesel generators. Considering the following reasons, many people prefer air-cooled systems over cooling systems. Diesel engines cooled with water or air have the following unique features:

Efficient design

All used generators require cooling components. Air cooled diesel generators or engines do not require water pumps, radiators, thermometers, or hoses. There is no coolant in the cooling system that is frozen, leaking, evaporating, boiling, contaminated, or corroded.

Considering that the cooling system is not complex, it requires less short-term maintenance, is less likely to cause system wide failures, and reduces overall downtime. Considering that there is no radiator system in air-cooled diesel generators, it can reduce packaging, transportation costs, and equipment space requirements.

Use diesel

Generators use less fuel than natural gas generators by using diesel as a fuel source. Compared to other fuel sources, used diesel generator fuel processing is safer and usually easier to obtain in fields such as construction, military, and agriculture.

Flexible design

Air cooled diesel generators can adapt to various applications due to their reliability and simple design. In most cases, the use of air-cooled diesel generators is crucial for long-term operation, such as in offshore and navigation buoys, lighthouses, or telecommunications equipment.

Lightweight and portable air-cooled diesel generators are commonly used by response teams working in disaster areas. When using air-cooled diesel generators, areas of fire, flood, avalanche, or earthquake are often filled with debris and dust, making them less prone to blockage.

Considering the independent capacity of air-cooled diesel generators, the failure rate is much lower. Under combat conditions, air-cooled diesel generators can be reliably used for military operations.

The main uniqueness of diesel generators lies in their ability to operate at higher operating temperatures and quickly preheat. This can greatly reduce the wear of cylinder holes and piston rings.

At such high temperatures, used diesel generators can reduce the deposition of lubricating oil, especially in the short term. The rapid preheating period also allows air cooled diesel engines to accept their full load capacity faster than liquid cooled engines.
