Clean Diesel Generators
If you use a portable generator on site it is wise to consider and follow a few safety precautions. • Don’t run power cords through standing water – wind and rain, we are certainly at the mercy of the weather, but power cords running through standing water is both dangerous and perhaps harmful to the…
Most bio-fuels are crop fuels. Bio-diesel and alcohol are the primary bio-fuels. Another bio-fuel is straight vegetable oils. The diesels burning veggie oils are very clean burning, and eco-friendly providing operation with a readily renewable resource. Biodiesel is clean burning and made from alcohols and lipids like vegetable oils and animal fat. Methyl alcohol is…
Standby and emergency power generation equipment requires additional accessories to ensure functioning. One of primary importance is the automatic transfer switch. This device turns the utility grid of switches to the generator output. This works both ways if the utility power comes on the switch reverse and puts the load to the grid. The switches…
To be efficient, matching the generator load to generator output provides the most efficient fuel usage and the cleanest emissions. An 80-85% running load is ideal and with enough generator production margin to handle surge loads. A 600 kw (kilowatt) generator is significant over kill to run a single drill. Gas (gasoline) engines shine in…
