Good reason to choose a diesel generator rental or purchase

Why Choose A Diesel Generator?
2

• A combination of a diesel engine with a device
  that converts mechanical energy to electrical
  energy to produce electricity is a diesel
  generator.  This kind of generator is used in
  most industrial sectors since it gives more power
  per unit of fuel and it is not very volatile so
  it is safer to handle.
• A diesel generator is more preferred than gas
  generator since diesel is fuel-efficient. 
  Generally, diesels burn less than half the fuel
  that gas engines require to do the same amount of
  work.  Regularly, diesels outlast gas engines
  ten-to-one.  Before a gas engine will need a
  replacement or a complete overhaul, it will run
  for 1000 hours, which is an average and many
  could only last a few hundred hours.  Compared to
  a diesel engine, it will run for 20,000 hours
  before needing any service besides its routine
  maintenance.  Many diesel engines could last
  50,000 hours and some even longer.  This alone is
  a good reason to choose a diesel generator rental
  or purchase.

Other Advantages To Consider Are

• Diesel is a lot safer to store.
• It is not explosive like gasoline, although it is
  flammable.
• The exhaust it produces is less toxic compared to
  a gasoline engine.
• A well-tuned diesel only emits exhaust briefly
  under severe load changes.
• It is simpler in design and construction.
• It requires less service.  No tune-ups, no
  distributor or magneto to burn-out, no carburetor
  adjustments and no spark plugs that need
  periodic cleaning and replacement.
• It runs nearly forever.
• For off-road applications, it can operate on dyed
  or farm/construction diesel fuel which is cheaper
  to purchase since it is sold without road tax.
• It performs better when it is worked hard.
• One can easily obtain fuel even on times of
  disaster since the fuel is necessary for the
  trucking industry, military, and farming
  operations.

Most Diesel Generators Operate At 1800 or 3600
RPM (revolutions per minute)

• The 1800 RPM units are alike to those found in
  diesel tractor engines and diesel forklift.  It
  will last longer, more fuel efficient and offers
  less maintenance problem.  It operates on average
  12-30,000 hours before major maintenance is
  required.
• The 3600 RPM units are best for portable,
  light-duty generators applications.  They are
  smaller and lightweight.

The Way It Works

• A diesel engine only takes air.  Compresses it
  and fuel is injected into the compressed air. 
  The fuel is lighted spontaneously by the heat of
  the compressed air.
• The diesel engine compresses at a ratio of 141
  and as high as 251. This leads to better
  efficiency due to its high compression ratio.
• Diesel generators use direct fuel injection.  The
  cylinder is injected directly by the diesel fuel.

• A feature that you should look for in a diesel
  generator is if it offers liquid cooling.  Liquid
  cooling is quieter in operation and has more even
  temperature control.  Air cooled diesel engines
  may require ducting and requires huge amount of
  air.
• The possibility of eliminating the consumption of
  petroleum entirely is one inspiring view of
  diesel over petrol.  Many sellers recommend
  diesel generator because of its advantages, but
  it is really up to ones needs that one should
  consider.
