Diesel Generators

• A diesel generator is used when there is no
  electricity grid available, as an emergency power
  supply in the event of a grid failure, and in
  more complex applications such as peak shaving,
  grid support, and export.
• One of the top generator suppliers in UAE,
  Overseas trading provides different types of
  generators each of them has different uses .
  Larger industrial generators range from 8 kW (11
  kVA) up to 2,000 kW (2,500 kVA three phases) and
  are used in office complexes, factories, and
  other industrial facilities.

• Set sizes vary from 8 to 30 kW (also 8 to 30
  kVA single phase) for homes, small shops, and
  offices.
• There is no doubt that diesel generators are not
  only used for emergency power, but they can also
  provide power to the utility grid either during
  peak periods, or when there is a shortage of
  large generators.
• For a variety of reasons, emergency diesel
  generators are widely used in the US and in Great
  Britain as a secondary function to support the
  respective national grids at all times.

• Our generator suppliers in Sharjah offer
  fuel-efficient diesel generators from famous
  brands like Perkins and Cummins.
• An overview of the main parts of a diesel
  generator
• There are several parts that make up a diesel
  generator and together, they produce electricity.
  Powerful diesel generators contain the following
  components
• IC Engine.
• Alternator.
• Fuel System.
• Lubricating(oil)system.
• Voltage Regulator.
• Cooling System.
• Exhaust System.
• Starter and battery system.
• Control Panel.
• The housing/Frame.

Advantages of Diesel generators.

• One of the leading generator suppliers in Dubai,
  we offer quality and affordable generators.
• The high noise and maintenance costs of earlier
  diesel engines have been overcome by modern
  diesel engines.
• In comparison to gas engines of similar size,
  they have become quieter and require less
  maintenance.
• The main advantages are

• Relatively low maintenance
• The generator engine has fewer components,
  so you won't have to worry about changing spark
  plugs or rebuilding carburetors like you would
  with a gas engine.
• Durability
• Diesel engines are quite durable in the
  workplace, so they can withstand a variety of
  environmental conditions.
• Safe storage.
•  Fuels such as diesel carry a much lower risk
  of igniting than other types of fuel, like
  gasoline.

• Power output.
• Diesel generators are able to handle larger power
  loads and run for longer periods than other types
  of generators.
• Reliable and more rugged.
• Easy access to fuel.
• The main specialty of portable diesel
  generators is that they are transported on the
  back of diesel vehicles. So that you don't need
  to use two different fuel types when you are out
  and about doing work.

Disadvantages of Diesel Generators

• Due to the regulation, the price of diesel
  generator will increase day by day.
• Regular Maintenance is needed to run generator
  smoothly.
• There is more chance of breaking down the fuel
  injection system and other parts, which leads to
  a lack of reliability and high costs for spare
  parts. Diesel generators are made using big and
  heavy components which leads to making repairs
  expensive.

• If the price is cheaper, the cost of
  installation may take more time and will be more
  costly.
• Diesel generators create noise pollution because
  diesel units can be very noisy, so mainly they
  can be placed away from work areas.
• If we are using the generator in a cold climate,
  it is necessary to winterize.
