One of the most important functions of diesel generators on remote worksites like mining and agricultural operations is to ensure sufficient electrical power to deliver a steady supply of water is pumped out of deep water wells to where it’s needed most. Here are some insights from leading providers of generators for sale in Australia. Why Diesel Generators?  Diesel generators have long been the preferred choice for off-grid electrical power solutions in tough environments. Here’s why:  Higher energy density – Diesel is a fuel with a high energy density, which means more energy can be extracted from a litre of diesel than other fuel types like petrol It’s the same reason you can drive further on a tank of diesel than the same amount of petrol. Diesel is readily available – As a fuel, diesel is widely available so it’s not difficult or expensive to transport it to remote sites. It can also be stored for a reasonable amount of time – around 6 months – or lo...

It’s common knowledge that backup generators deliver important benefits to many industries, from banks and restaurants to hospitals and mines – but their importance to the education industry is often overlooked. Here are some important points to consider when investing in your school, college, university or vocational facility from CAT rental , the team that can help you hire a generator affordably today.  Hire a Generator to Solve the Following Challenges  Class disruptions and scheduling: This is a critical challenge in the industry, whether you are running a school or tertiary institution. The last thing you need is a blackout that leaves classes cancelled, schedules disrupted, or prevents exams and tests from taking place. Catching up classes or tests can be tough in a school environment but is far more challenging in a university setting. When you have backup generators, however, there’s no interruption to the day and classes, exams, presentations and meeting...

There are a few different categories for commercial diesel generators , and one of these is a prime power generator. These gensets are for a specific type of use to provide electrical power in commercial and industrial settings. Here are some insights into prime power generators. Essentially, a prime power generator is able to run for a considerable length of time at maximum or near-maximum loads, as long as they have enough fuel to do so. In prime power diesel generators, the continuous combustion process in the engine means it generates a lot of heat in the process of creating electrical power. This means that these generators require large cooling systems, usually consisting of a radiator and a series of pipes that circulate cool water around the genset. Who Uses Prime Power Diesel Generators? These powerful gensets are often used on commercial or industrial sites where a primary power source isn’t available. They’ll run all electrical equipment on-site, from ventilati...

Overheating is a risk with industrial equipment , including air compressors , generators, and fluid chillers. In the summer, extreme heat increases this risk, making breakdowns and facility downtime more likely. Here are some tips to prevent overheating, from the leaders in industrial equipment and portable electrical power solutions. Symptoms of Overheating in an Air Compressor Overheating in air compressors presents with certain symptoms, including stalling during start-up, requiring longer than usual rest periods between cycles, poor performance, strange noises during operation (creaking and crackling sounds), and even the smell of burnt oil. Common Causes of Overheating in Air Compressors Certain factors can contribute to the likelihood of overheating in industrial equipment, including Age – Older compressors, especially those in high-use environments, are more likely to overheat due to wear-and-tear. Older systems may also lack the tech and design features that make ...

When you want to hire a generator , you’re going to find yourself knee-deep in industry jargon that can make the process a bit confusing. The last thing you want is to hire the wrong diesel generators for your needs, so it’s important to know certain terms in order to make the process easier. Here’s some insight from the CAT rental team. When you ask about diesel generators, the first thing a salesperson will enquire about is the size you require for your commercial or industrial project. Generator size is measured in kilovolt-amperes (kVA), but it’s a term that isn’t well-known outside the industry. Usually, when people hire a generator, they know how much power they need in terms of kilowatts (kW) but not kVA. What is the Difference Between kW and kVA? kW are a unit of real power and a kW rating of diesel generators is how much power they can output based on the horsepower of the engine. Essentially, it is how much power the generator actually has. kVA is a measure of ...

If you own a yacht or boat, you’ll know just how important it is that you have a reliable power generator onboard to supply you with electrical power when you’re at sea. Here are some essential tips and advice on how to get the best performance from your marine generator. Tip #1 Good habits are key to keeping a boat or yacht in great condition, keeping you in touch with the boat’s systems as well as helping you spot maintenance issues early. Add these items to your list to include your marine generator: Oil level check Coolant level check (at the pressure cap) Water pump belt/alternator check Leak check Tip #2 Always turn off the shore power breaker on the dock before switching on your marine generator. If your power generator connects to the shore-based electrical power supply for even a moment, it will result in a life-threatening and high-risk event. Tip #3 Switch your AC load breaker or switch to the off position before starting your marine g...

Diesel generators are the leading choice for residential, commercial and industrial off-grid power generation for good reason. They’re renowned for their durability, minimal maintenance, and efficiency, as well as their ability to provide enough power to meet high industrial and commercial demands. If you have a diesel generator for standby power , then you’re one of many home and business owners who have the ultimate peace of mind in the event of a power outage – but this doesn’t mean these machines are incapable of failure. Here are the most common reasons for diesel generator breakdowns.  Common reasons why diesel generators fail to start automatically. The switch was left in the “Off” position rather than the “Auto” position. The starter batteries are worn out and/or very old. The fuel filter was clogged due to old fuel or water in the fuel. Air in the fuel system. To meet today’s emissions requirements, there are closer tolerances within the fuel system t...

Commercial power generators , also known as gensets , are critical to many commercial and industrial applications, supplying reliable, clean standby power when the grid goes down as well as to remote locations. Load management is a critical process that ensures your generator stays online and is not overloaded by demand. What is the process of load management? Every standby power generator has a set capacity and cannot supply power above that limit – this is called it’s load capacity. When the generator nears or reaches that limit, it will start shedding the load by cutting off power to equipment/utilities or shutting down completely. Load management is a process of monitoring the demand on the power generator and preventing too many high-demand loads from operating at one time, thereby preventing an overload. This is usually achieved through a mart controller integrated with an automatic transfer switch and external relay modules which allows the controller to turn loads on a...

Backup generators  are very useful equipment for homes, businesses, and industrial sites, providing clean, reliable power when the grid isn’t available. However, they’re not always in use, so it’s important that they’re stored correctly until they’re needed again to ensure that they stay in perfect working condition.  Here’s some advice from our team who  hire generators  and sell  diesel generators  for commercial, residential, marine and industrial use.   Short-term storage for diesel generators   If you know that you’ll likely require your generator throughout the next few months but that it may sit idle for a week or so in between use, then storage is a relatively simple thing. Simply clean any dust or debris off the unit after use and store it somewhere with easy access where it is protected from the environment. Keep in mind that diesel starts to deteriorate after about 10 days, so if you leave it for more than 3 weeks ...

Going green and saving running costs is a priority for many Australian companies, and our sunny weather means that installing commercial rooftop solar systems is a popular choice for businesses and industrial sites. Solar panels are only one part of the equation, however – the other critical ancillary equipment is energy storage systems for the additional solar energy output from the panels themselves.   Why are solar energy storage solutions essential ancillary equipment?   There are several benefits of installing an energy system to support a commercial rooftop solar equipment, including:   Meeting electricity demand more effectively: Energy consumption isn’t consistent through the day and may change between very high demand (for example, through the middle of the day) to almost no demand at all (for example, the early hours of the morning), depending on your organisation’s needs. A battery system allows excess energy to be stored so that when dema...
