Diesel generators are graceful saviors when it comes to supplying electrical energy for your applications. Blackouts, brownouts, or permanent failures, diesel generators always come to the rescue. They can also run independently for a very long time.

They come in a wide variety ranging all the way from 1 kVA to 2500 kVA in both commercial and portable sizes. They exceptionally solve all your power needs efficiently and economically.

As you look for diesel generators for your power needs, you may have wondered how a diesel generator works. Before we start to explore how a diesel generator works, you should first understand what are its components.

What are the parts of a diesel generator?

Diesel Engine – The diesel engine in a generator burns diesel to create a rotatory motion that turns the AC alternator.

AC Alternator – As the diesel turns the alternator into a rotatory motion, the alternator helps turn this into electricity that meets the load put on the generator.

Base frame – The base frame usually has a built-in tank that is used to store diesel. It also bears the weight of the engine and other components.

Control panel – The control panel consists of a user interface that helps you start/stop, monitor the engine, and provide protection to the generator.

All of these components are usually encased in an outer flank or housing which would normally also contain the branding.

How does a diesel generator work?

The basic principle of a diesel generator is to convert the chemical energy from diesel into electrical energy. The parts mentioned above work together in rhythm to help achieve this process.

First, the chemical energy in diesel during combustion is converted into heat and force. As the combustion is spontaneously processed, it creates mechanical energy that helps in rotating the alternator.

This spontaneous combustion then creates high-pressure air chambers that help the pistons move in and out creating high pressures and heats.

As the pistons move, the air is drawn into engine cylinders creating a high-pressure chamber that when injected with fuel starts burning and help in keeping a constant movement. This process creates mechanical energy which the alternator easily turns into electrical energy. In a simple law of energy which states “energy can neither be created nor be destroyed but be only converted from one form to another form”, mechanical energy created from combustion is transformed into electrical energy to meet all your power requirements.

While all of this might be especially difficult to understand, you would only require to press a button or two on a customized user interface provided in all our control panels. Our generators will then run smoothly and quietly to give you electricity.
