The operation of a diesel generator involves a series of steps to convert fuel into electricity:
Fuel Ignition: Diesel fuel is injected into the engine's combustion chamber. Unlike a gasoline engine that uses a spark plug, a diesel engine uses compression to ignite the fuel.
Combustion and Piston Movement: The heat and pressure from combustion force the engine's pistons to move. This motion converts the chemical energy from the fuel into mechanical energy.
Crankshaft Rotation: The pistons are connected to a crankshaft, which translates their linear, up-and-down motion into rotational motion.
Power Generation: The crankshaft spins the rotor of the alternator. This rotor, with its surrounding magnets, turns within a static component called the stator. According to the principle of electromagnetic induction, this motion induces an electric current in the stator's windings, which produces electricity.
Voltage Regulation: A voltage regulator ensures that the output voltage from the alternator remains stable, providing a consistent and clean power supply for connected equipment.
Power Distribution: The generated electricity is then sent to a control panel and distributed to the required electrical load
