Small diesel generators can be used for some enterprises, family daily power generation, as well as emergency electricity situation, in some emergency situations, small diesel generators can provide power supply, what kind of diesel generator is this kind of generator, what is the power generation, this is to understand the working principle of small diesel generators.

Diesel generator is a kind of small power generation equipment, which refers to the power machinery that uses diesel as fuel and diesel engine as the prime mover to drive the generator to generate electricity. The whole unit is generally composed of diesel engine, generator, control box, fuel tank, starting and control battery, protection device, emergency cabinet and other components.

How small diesel generators work:

In a nutshell, it's a diesel generator that drives the generator. In the cylinder, the clean air filtered by the air filter is fully mixed with the high-pressure atomized diesel injected by the fuel injector, and under the extrusion of the piston, the volume is reduced, and the temperature rises rapidly to reach the ignition point of the diesel. The diesel fuel is ignited, the gas mixture burns violently, and the volume expands rapidly, pushing the piston downward, which is called 'work'. Each cylinder works in a certain order, and the thrust acting on the piston becomes the force that pushes the crankshaft to rotate through the connecting rod, thereby driving the crankshaft to rotate. By installing the brushless synchronous alternator coaxially with the crankshaft of the diesel generator, the rotor of the generator can be driven by the rotation of the diesel generator, and the generator will output an induced electromotive force by using the principle of 'electromagnetic induction', and the current can be generated through the closed load loop.

There are several kinds of small diesel generators, according to the use of air cooling or water cooling, here we tell you the principle of diesel generators, roughly general, but also according to what type of diesel generator to distinguish.
