Diesel generators

The major advantages of diesel generators are their long service life and performance. In our shop you will find small devices with 2.8 kW through to large high-performance units with over 500 kW output. Compared to petrol, diesel does not heat up the engine as much. For this reason, diesel-powered generators are not only durable, but also suitable for continuous operation.

The combination of high performance paired with low fuel consumption makes them particularly attractive for machines with high power requirements. This is why diesel generators are often used on construction sites, in a commercial context or as emergency power generators, e.g. in industry or hospitals.

They are less suitable for private use due to the short shelf life of diesel fuel. The shelf life of the fuel is approx. 6 months if stored in an airtight container.

Diesel generators from ELMAG

Diesel generators offer several advantages compared to petrol, PTO and welding generators. Particularly in the areas of efficiency, possible applications, maintenance and reliability of the power supply. Diesel generators are characterised by higher energy efficiency, which makes them attractive for long-term use in industrial and commercial contexts as well as in emergency scenarios. They are also characterised by low fuel consumption, which results in low operating costs when used frequently. In addition, a permanent and reliable power supply can be guaranteed depending on the tank level.

A significant advantage over PTO generators is their independence from other drive sources. PTO generators, for example, require a tractor to be able to generate electricity at all. This means that diesel generators are more flexible and can be used anywhere. Compared to welding generators, which are only used for welding work, they also offer the decisive advantage of a wider range of applications.

In terms of maintenance , diesel generators are somewhat more demanding than petrol models, as the engine has a more complex structure that is more susceptible to wear during intensive use. This requires regular maintenance, such as changing oil, air and fuel filters and checking the injection system. Nevertheless, the service life of a diesel engine is generally much longer, which makes them particularly suitable for continuous use. Their robust design ensures reliability even under adverse conditions.

Another important advantage is the greater safety during storage and use. Diesel is less flammable than petrol, which significantly reduces the risk of fires. This is a major plus point, especially in areas where safety plays a central role. For these reasons, diesel generators are often used in agriculture, construction, industry and as emergency generators in the event of power failures.

Special highlights of ELMAG diesel generators:

  • Durability and reliability: they are robustly designed to work durably and reliably in a variety of applications.
  • High efficiency: The efficient diesel engine ensures high performance with low consumption.
  • Automatic control: Many models offer functions such as automatic start in the event of a power failure.
  • Noise reduction: Some models are soundproofed, which makes them quieter and suitable for use in sensitive environments.

You will find a large selection of powerful and durable diesel generators in our shop. See for yourself!

Frequently asked questions

Which is the best diesel generator?

Which diesel generator is the best depends on individual requirements, such as performance, area of application and budget. Some of the top models offer high efficiency, durability and advanced control functions such as automatic start mechanisms in the event of a power failure. When choosing the right device, it is advisable to compare the technical specifications of the respective models to find the diesel generator that suits your requirements.

Which is better, a petrol or diesel generator?

A diesel generator is more efficient, has a longer service life and is better suited to continuous use. However, it is more expensive and heavier. A petrol generator, on the other hand, is cheaper, lighter and easier to maintain, but less efficient over longer periods of use. Diesel generators are ideal for industrial and permanent applications, while petrol generators are more suitable for occasional mobile use.

What is the difference between a generator and a generating set?

A generator and a generating set are often used interchangeably, but there is a slight difference. The term generator refers to the device that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy. A generator , on the other hand, is a complete system that includes the generator, an engine (petrol or diesel) and other components to produce electricity independently. In everyday life, "generator" is usually used for portable or stationary units, while "generator" tends to refer to the electrical component itself.

How long does diesel last in an emergency power generator?

Under optimal conditions (cool, dry and protected from direct sunlight), diesel can be stored for around 6 months before it begins to degrade and the quality deteriorates. By adding stabilisers, the shelf life can be extended to up to 2 years. After prolonged storage, the diesel can form residues and deposits that can damage the generator engine, which is why regular checks and the addition of fresh diesel are advisable.

What does a diesel generator consume?

The consumption of a diesel generator depends on the output and load . On average , the value is around 0.2 to 0.5 litres of diesel per kWh of energy generated. A smaller generator with an output of 5 kW can consume around 1 to 2.5 litres per hour at full load, while larger models with 10 kW or more require around 2 to 5 litres per hour. The exact consumption varies depending on the efficiency of the motor, load profile and maintenance status of the appliance.
