Diesel Engine

Diesel EnginesUsed to drive the prime mover of electric

generatorsUsed as a stand-by set for start up of

auxiliaries in steam and gas power plantsUsed for emergency supply to hospitals,

hotels, factories and in other commercial units.

Advantages:High operating efficiency.Need very little water for cooling.Quick start and stop is possible.Easier handling of fuel.
