Sep. 03, 2024

When an emergency occurs, your safety may depend on a reliable generator to start and rescue. Is diesel generator the best type to use? A good diesel generator has many sizes and functions, choosing the right one for your needs will mean weighing some pros and cons.

There are a few points to consider here!

 

In terms of good expected lifespan, diesel generators are more durable than gas generators. A properly maintained generator can provide you with up to 20000 hours of service, compared to approximately 6000 hours for gas generators.

 

Diesel is not too expensive, and the price will obviously vary depending on your location. Generally speaking, in the long run, the cost of diesel will be lower than other types of fuels. Most generator sets are designed for outdoor use and can run on "building grade" diesel, which is typically a more cost-effective fuel.

 

Cold resistant fuel additives are used, and diesel can easily operate at Arctic temperatures.

 

Diesel is safer due to its low flash point, making it difficult to ignite. The risk of fire or explosion is greatly reduced.

 

The design and operation of diesel generators are best under long-term loads.

 

In emergency situations, most (if not all) emergency vehicles, trucks, and equipment use diesel. This will mean that you are more likely to receive fuel supply when you need it the most.

 

In the long run, effective consumption will surpass alternative fuel source generators such as natural gas generators.

 

From a negative impact perspective, you need to consider the following factors:

 

Compared to backup generators, diesel generators typically produce louder noise. Depending on the size and location of your preferred generator, you may need to check for emissions compliance with local regulations before installing and using large units.

 

Polluted diesel is not a 100% clean emission fuel, and the exhaust needs to be evaluated based on the type and location of the generator. Local regulations will also apply to this.

 

In terms of weight, they are heavier than their corresponding gas generators.

 

Moisture resistant diesel does not like moisture. Running power plants with unclean fuel can bring maintenance challenges.

 

The selection of a suitable generator is greatly influenced by its ultimate goal. Ultimately, diesel generators will be the best choice for long-distance and emergency situations.
