10 Tips for Choosing a Diesel Generator

When choosing a diesel generator, the following factors should be considered:

1. Meet environmental protection standards.

Confirm that the diesel engine you need meets environmental standards.

2. Generator power.

To make your purchasing decision more satisfactory, the key is to choose the generator power reasonably. It requires determining the size and needs of your company. The generator should be able to effectively power your premises, equipment, and appliances. Should this decision also depend on the frequency and average duration of power outages? If you are unable to clarify these aspects, it is best to contact the professionals of Dingbo Power Company, who will help you make effective decisions.

3. Power capacity size.

Due to the fact that the power capacity (in kilowatts or megawatts) is determined by the capacity of the generator, the power capacity is closely related to its size. One of the main steps in determining the required capacity/size is to list the equipment components required for power generation. Through this method, you can accurately determine the required total wattage.

4. Available space.

Give your new diesel generator a good location and sufficient space so that it can operate normally at the appropriate temperature. These places should have good ventilation, making them easy to repair, inspect, and maintain on a daily basis. Also, when you decide where to place it, remember the noise it emits while working. Therefore, if you want to place it indoors, you may want to consider using a silent speaker.

5. Noise

Common generators, especially diesel generators, produce noise during operation. There are generators with various noise levels on the market. It also depends on the type of generator; For example, portable generators emit more sound than fixed generators. So, you need to choose the use that suits you. For example, if you place your car far outdoors, you don't have to spend extra money on a quiet generator.

6. Affordability.

There are various types of diesel generators, with varying prices and durability. Never sacrifice quality for low prices. Don't be tempted by overly expensive generators with too expensive additional features. The best choice is to balance your needs with the costs you can afford.

7. Fuel utilization rate.

This feature is very important for the generator you are purchasing. Even if you spend more money, you can still gain additional benefits in the long run. Internal combustion engines have high economic efficiency, for example, the efficiency range of a 120kW diesel generator is between 10.9 and 32.1 liters.

8. Is it movable or fixed?

If you need to start a small business or frequently change the diesel generators used in the workplace, mobile generators may be suitable for you, especially when you need them mainly during emergencies. On the contrary, fixed generators are more powerful, making them suitable for large companies, hospitals, etc., and for widespread use. Low maintenance costs and long lifespan.

9. Startup method.

This may be considered a secondary characteristic; However, an appropriate starting method can ensure smooth operation of your generator.

10. A trustworthy brand.

In addition, you must also pay attention to manufacturers and look for a company with a good reputation that has outstanding performance in terms of performance and customer satisfaction. The generator set requires sturdy manufacturing to withstand operating pressure and extend its service life during operation.
