The biggest difference between the Diesel generator and gasoline generator is the ignition device and the fuel system. The diesel generator is a compression ignition internal combustion engine that use a fuel injection pump and several injectors; the gasoline generator has a carburetor, a dispenser, and a number of spark plugs.
Diesel generators and gasoline generators also have a lot of similarities. Diesel generators and gasoline generators look almost the same. The internal components of diesel generators are also similar to gasoline generators, but most of the components inside diesel generators are more robust and heavier than gasoline generators, it is due to the greater pressure for diesel generators. Diesel generators running alo like gasoline engines, depending on air, fuel and ignition.
The main differences between gasoline generators and diesel generators as follows:
1, The type of ignition:
The diesel engine is compressed into heat for mixed air and fuel. While the mixture of fuel and air in the cylinder of the gasoline engine is ignited by a spark plug.
2, The type of fuel:
Diesel fuel is less volatile than gasoline, but has a larger calorific value per gallon than gasoline. Sowith 5dm3 diesel can get more power than 5dm3 gasoline .
3, fuel and air mixture: In the diesel engine, diesel and air mixing is in the diesel fuel into the cylinder after the carried out.
In the gasoline engine, fuel and air are in the vaporizer and intake pipe in the mix. Since the mixing must be done immediately after the fuel injection, the diesel generator has a specially designed combustion chamber, which is conducive to the mixing of diesel and air. So the design and manufacture of the combustion chamber is very important for diesel generators.
