Dear colleagues,
With all the travails of regular power interruptions in South Africa; we are again reminded of the tried and tested diesel generator being the workhorse we all turn to for a consistent power supply for small to medium requirements. Perhaps, expensive in the medium term but oh so convenient.
As many of you would know, the advantages are:
- Faster installation time
- Quick start up when needed
- Follow the load with governor control
- Good part-load efficiencies
- Higher reliability and availability.
- Easier maintenance
- Comparatively lower capital cost
- Adaptability to different fuel including bio fuels
Yours in engineering learning,
Steve
