On completion of the manufacturing and testing of the generator, the OEM puts up the generator label and data tags(also known as a generator nameplate) on the generator. Let us take a quick look at the various types of Generator Labels and Data Tags, and understand what each one of them means - Information Tags As [...]
The governor of a diesel engine generator is often referred to as the speed controller, owing to the fact that its primary purpose is to ensure that the speed of the unit is constant at all times, irrespective of the imposed load conditions. We understand this may not be making much sense to you, but read [...]
Diesel generators are perfect alternatives as a source of power in the absence of electricity. They come in handy in tricky situations, and that is why generator maintenance is important. It not only ensures proper functionality but also prevents carbon monoxide generation, increases the generator’s efficiency, prevents fuel problems, prolongs the generator’s lifespan, and ultimately saves [...]
The Detroit Diesel 353 engine, also known as 3-53 was a high-powered diesel engine manufactured by Detroit Diesel Engines. While the ‘3’ in the name represented the number of cylinders it featured, ‘53’ referred to the cubic-inch displacement per cylinder of the engine. Specifications The Detroit 3-53 is a two-cycle engine, which features a bore by [...]

If you landed on this page, we deem it’s safe to consider that you already know that a diesel engine is a type of internal combustion engine. But, what does that truly mean? Well, let us break it down for you. Combustion is a synonym for burning, which implies that the fuel, in this case, diesel [...]
Did you know, as per the studies of the U.S. Department of Energy, that diesel engines provide 30-35% more fuel economy than gasoline engines? Given the structure and design of diesel engines, they function with a combustion process that is leaner and burns less fuel than a gasoline engine. Moreover, diesel fuel comes with better energy [...]
For the uninitiated, the diesel engine is essentially an internal combustion engine and a compression ignition engine at that. Simply put, in a diesel engine, the fuel is suddenly exposed to a high temperature which leads to the ignition of the engine. The fuel simultaneously comes in contact with compressed atmospheric air containing oxygen, as against [...]
