Diesel and petrol generators are mechanical-electrical devices used to generate electrical power. They are primarily used as a means of providing backup power and are available in different specifications.
Diesel and petrol generators convert chemical energy from fuel (diesel or petrol) into mechanical energy. Some generators are standing units, while others are portable and can be moved around.
Diesel and petrol generators are widely used in manufacturing facilities, schools, hospitals, and in places where conventional electrical power isn’t available. Businesses use these generators to provide backup power for temperature-sensitive inventory if the main power source fails.
Petrol is more volatile than diesel, which is why diesel generators are generally more economical and fuel-efficient. However, this benefit is offset by the fact that diesel is a more expensive fuel source compared to petrol.
In both, an engine is used that mixes the fuel with air, using a carburettor to create combustion and generate electricity. Due to technological innovations, both petrol and diesel generators now operate quietly, and can work for long periods of time without needing to rest.
