Considerations on Purchasing Diesel Generator Sets: Power and Price

When you are going to purchase a generator set, the most important thing you should know is: what power of Chongqing Cummins generator set do you need?

To answer this question, you need to ask a professional electrician to calculate the minimum power (in KW) of the electricity you use. When you buy a generator set to power your equipment, what is the power of your equipment? If you have multiple pieces of equipment, you must figure out the power (in KW) of your largest equipment, how many pieces of equipment you have and what their respective powers (in KW) are, and what the total power (in KW) of all the equipment is.

For example, if you are running a chicken farm and use the generator to drive fans. The power of each fan is 3.5 kw and you have 10 fans. You also have 4 water pumps with a power of 7 kw each for pumping water and an air - conditioner with a power of 1.5 kw. Then, how much power of the generator set do you need at least?

(1) 3.5 * 10 = 35 kw, 7 * 4 = 28 kw (the 1.5 - kw air - conditioner can be ignored).

(2) 35 + 28 = 63 kw.

So, you need at least a 60 - kw generator set with 100% power output to drive all your equipment.

Regarding the prices of our generator sets with different powers:

When answering customer calls, many customers will directly ask how much a generator set of a certain power (e.g., 100 kw) costs.

In fact, the price of a generator set is not fixed. It is related to many factors. According to different usage frequencies and environments of users, for generator sets of the same power, we have various configurations, and thus the prices vary. May I ask what you will use the generator set for? Will you use it continuously every day or as a backup power source when there is a power outage?

First of all, you should understand the structure of a generator set. The structure of a generator set is quite simple: Generator set = Engine (from Weichai Branch Factory, Weichai Head Factory, Yuchai, Shangchai, Cummins, VOLOV, etc.) + Generator (two types: brush - type excitation and brushless excitation) + Common chassis (ordinary high - anti - vibration and high - anti - vibration with a base fuel tank) + Control system (The control systems are divided into four types: manual mechanical control, electronic speed - regulation control, four - protection system control, and fully automatic module control).

After learning about this, do you feel that the price range of generator sets is indeed large? Therefore, the editor of Dingbo Power suggests that you can choose a suitable diesel generator set according to your budget or consult a professional generator supplier before purchasing to get a professional and reasonable power solution.

Dingbo Power was founded in 1974 and is one of the earliest manufacturers of generators and diesel generator sets in China. If you want get more information, please feel free to send email to [email protected] we will pay highly attention on your question.
