Emergency diesel power plants

The penetration of electricity into our life is comprehensive in nature. The presence of reliable energy supply is important not only for production enterprises, round -the -clock work facilities, but also other electricity consumers. Important is also the reliable energy supply of private houses that are located in the countryside zone.

It is no secret that the complexity of the modern energy supply system and its exposure to the effects of atmospheric cataclysms, quite often leads to the termination of energy supply for a while. And here an alternative arises, either wait for mercy from an energy supplying organization, or resolve the issue of acquiring and installing an emergency power source.

The diesel power plant helps to solve such problems, which, depending on power, is able to provide electricity to a separate country house, a whole cottage village, a small enterprise or poultry farm, for which a long absence of power supply may be a tragedy.

In the practice of autonomous power supply, various types of electric generators are used: diesel, gasoline and gas. However, for gas, as a rule, a centralized gas supply system is required at the place of installation of an autonomous power source, and gasoline electric generators, although cheaper than diesel, but in operation more expensive, and their maximum power rarely exceeds 20 kilowatts.

Any power station using a diesel engine provides environmental friendliness, safety and ease of use. The power of such devices can reach thousands of kilowatts, which will be a fairly large enterprise, country village or a whole agricultural complex.

Small power installations are quite suitable for energy supply of a country house in an emergency version, while the malfunction is eliminated on the main power line. Repair can last a couple of hours, or can drag on for a couple of days. And all this time, the generator is able to maintain energy supply. Typically, tank tanks with fuel are enough for continuous work for eight to ten hours. However, having a supply of fuel, this time can be significantly increased.

A small diesel generator provides savings through the use of cheaper fuel (usually), and its lower consumption per unit of time. The diesel engine is more durable due to lower roller roller speeds than that of gasoline engines – 1,500 rpm against 3,000 revolutions per minute. Which, of course, reduces the wear of the moving parts of the engine.

Typically, small generators are installed outside residential premises on a concrete foundation that reduces vibration and noise level. To install a power plant on the street, it is recommended to reduce it in a special noise -winged casing. Special automation will help start the generator when you turn off the network and turn it off when the network appears. The system is completely autonomous.

Large power plants (more than 500 kW) are usually installed on cast foundations in specially equipped containers. Container power plants – this is what the name of this solution is called. Such decisions allow you to reduce vibrations and a minimum noise produced.

In diesel generators, most often, a water cooling system is used, which contributes to a better heat removal and an increase in the efficiency of the equipment. The acquisition of a diesel electric generator requires preliminary calculation of the peak power consumption, as well as a thoughtful approach when selecting a suitable model. Acquired installation will provide reliable energy supply with inevitable emergency shutdowns of main electric networks.
