In daily life, insufficient power supply has brought a lot of inconvenience to our production and life. It is a good solution to use a backup power supply. As a backup power generator set, you can choose a diesel generator or a gasoline generator. So, when buying a generator set, is it better to use a diesel generator or a gasoline generator?
The difference between diesel generators and gasoline generators.
1. The fuel is different. The fuel of a diesel generator is diesel, and the fuel of a gasoline generator is gasoline. Gasoline generators consume more fuel than diesel generators.
2. The ignition type is different. For gasoline generators, the mixture is ignited by spark plugs; for diesel generators, the mixture is ignited by the heat formed by compression.
3. The power range is different. The general gasoline generator power is between 0.5-10kw; the diesel generator power range is 8-2000kw.
4. The cooling methods are different. Gasoline generators are mainly air-cooled, small in size, and easy to move; diesel generators are mainly water-cooled, large in size, and inconvenient to move.
5. The places of use are different. Gasoline generators are generally used for home lighting and air conditioning, while diesel generators are mainly used for main and backup power supplies in hotels, breeding enterprises, and chemical enterprises.
After understanding the difference between diesel generators and gasoline generators, let’s take a look at whether a diesel generator is better than a gasoline generator. How should we choose?
In fact, whether it is a diesel generator or a gasoline generator, each has its own advantages. How to choose, in fact, still depends on the actual situation we usually use
Generally speaking, gasoline generators have low power, but they are also small in size and easy to move. They are mostly suitable for backup power in homes and small restaurants.
Diesel generators are relatively large in weight and volume and may need to build a generator room, but they have high power, generate more electricity, and have more electrical equipment.
