Diesel generator or diesel generator or electric generator or electric motor is an industrial machine that converts the chemical energy contained in the fuel (diesel) into electrical energy. Converts.
Diesel generator types
Diesel generator can be classified in many ways The first one is the division based on the type of use.
☑️ Based on the type of use
Diesel generators are divided into two categories according to the type of use:
permanent work (Prime)
Emergency
☑️ Permanent Work Diesel Generator
Continuous power generator is usually used in cases where the power generator is the main power generator. Usually, in such applications, there is no access to grid or city electricity. Or that it is not possible to use network electricity for various reasons.
Construction projects outside the cities, mines, villas, temporary camps, shrine processions on special days are some of the cases.
Builders are not allowed to use city electricity in construction workshops inside cities. Because the electricity used in the construction site causes a strong fluctuation of the electricity frequency in a certain radius. As a result, it causes damage to home consumers.
In all these cases, the diesel generator is considered as the main source of electricity supply. And its use is permanent (daily). All diesel generators made by Tiara can be used as permanent diesel generators, and there is no need for special equipment for their permanent use.
☑️ Emergency generator diesel
Emergency power generator, as its name suggests, is for use in emergency situations. In this sense, in normal mode, there is city or grid electricity and it feeds the consumption circuit. And at any time and for any reason that the main electricity is not available, the responsibility of providing the consumed electricity is given to the electricity generator. Airports, hospitals, commercial and residential complexes, manufacturing factories, drug and food warehouses are all cases where diesel generators are usually used as main power backup. All Tiara diesel generators can be used as city electricity backup. Of course, to do this, there is a need to use an emergency switchboard (ATS). The cost of an emergency panel is usually not significant compared to the purchase cost of a power generator, although the purchase of a diesel generator together with an emergency panel is also subject to a purchase discount.
☑️ The reasons for using diesel power generator
Another case in which diesel generators are used as back-up electricity is the lack of electricity. Usually when business owners develop their business and continuously expand their production capacity.
This is a very good and auspicious event, but sometimes it is observed that at the time of establishment, due to several reasons, the future development was not predicted correctly. Or the supply of electricity capacity of the complex is hidden from the eyes of the employer. Or the national electricity network does not have the possibility to increase electricity.
In these cases, the diesel generator is used as auxiliary power and to supply the lack of circuit power. In this regard, it is necessary to use another equipment called Synchronizer. The work of the synchronous switchboard is to align the electricity of the diesel generator with the city electricity in order to combine the two sources of electricity.
☑️ Diesel generator based on output sound
In terms of the output sound, diesel generators are divided into two categories:
normal (open)
Silent (couch)
The output sound of the diesel generator causes noise pollution exceeding the permissible limit in the project. This will cause damage to the operator or the people around. It is recommended to use a silent type of diesel generator. Usually, the sound power of the diesel generator in the open type is from 95 to 120 dB or higher depending on the power (Kava) of the diesel generator. While this amount in silent diesel generator is usually 85 dB, although this power can be reduced to 68 dB.
☑️ Diesel generator based on cooling system
Diesel generators are divided into two categories based on the cooling system:
cool air
cool water
In water-cooled diesel generators, water is the main element of diesel engine cooling, and by circulating in the cylinder chamber (water block), it absorbs the heat of the engine and by circulating in the radiator, it gives this heat to the environment.
In diesel generators, there is no air-cooled, radiator or water, and the heat of the engine is spread directly in the environment. Air-cooled diesel generators do not have many uses and can usually be used in very cold weather conditions or in special projects.
☑️ Diesel generator based on the environment of use
Based on the environment of use, diesel generators are divided into two categories:
terrestrial
marine
Both land and sea power generators are categorized under the category of water cooled power generators. With the difference that in the land diesel generator, the water loses its heat in the radiator after circulating in the cylinder block, but in the marine diesel generator, the water loses its heat in the exchanger after circulating in the cylinder block.
The water that rotates inside the converter and absorbs the heat of the engine water is sea water that is sucked from the sea by a pump and after rotating in the converter and absorbing heat, it is poured back into the sea. The use of marine power generators, as the name suggests, is used to supply electricity to large boats and ships. However, in the sea and on ships, it is also possible to use land-based diesel generators, especially in the open spaces of the ship, such as its deck.
☑️ Diesel generator segmentation based on output voltage
Based on the output current voltage , diesel generators are divided into two categories:
Low Voltage
Medium Voltage
principally in the electrical industry and based on the Annecy standard ( ANSI), electric current to low pressure (up to 1000 V), medium pressure (1000 V to 100 kV), high pressure (100 kV to 230 kV), extra high pressure (230 kV to 1000 kV) and ultra High voltage (more than 1000 kV) is divided.
Diesel current is used for normal household and industrial generators of low pressure electricity. But in some industrial projects as well as in large industries, it is common to use medium pressure diesel generators (6 kV, 12 kV and 20 kV).
