Common Misconceptions about Diesel generators

Image
There are many facts regarding diesel generators based on their nature, uses, reliability etc. While some of these facts are true there are many misconceptions about diesel generators still prevalent among many people. Some of these false facts are listed below. Diesel Generators       1.   Diesel Generators make a Lot of Noise In today’s world, the innovative technology used in the manufacture of diesel generators and the new standards for diesel fuel have made diesel generator work with less noise. Modern generators are designed in such a way that they are quieter whilst still providing lots of power, this means you do not have to worry as much about sound pollution and its effects.       2. They are Not Reliable     Some people think diesel generators will break down frequently, make choking sounds while starting or need repeated calls for repairing damaged parts etc. Generator firms nowadays are very cautious regarding this. They always fully tes

Working Principle of Diesel Generators

How a Diesel Generator Works? A diesel generator is the combination of a diesel engine and an alternator or electric generator to generate electrical energy. Here the alternator is the generator which generates the electric power and engine is used to rotate the electric generator. Diesel generators are mostly used as an emergency power supply.                 Working Principle Diesel Generator works in four cycles: Suction/Intake Compression Power Exhaust The working principle of a diesel generator is based on the law of Energy conversion i.e. “Energy can neither be created nor be destroyed but be only converted from one form to an other form .” Since diesel has chemical energy, during combustion the chemical energy is converted into heat and force. This force is known as mechanical energy which helps in rotating the alternator. The combustion process in a diesel engine is commenced by spontaneous ignition of the fuel when it is injected into a highly com
