Diesel engine generators the best choice for your generator needs for longevity & efficiency. GAS OR DIESEL?

We recommend diesels due to their:

a) longevity - think of an 18 wheeler capable of 1,000,000 miles of operation before major service)

b) lower fuel costs (lower fuel consumption per kilowatt (kW) produced)

c) lower maintenence costs - no spark system, more rugged and more reliable engine,

Today’s modern diesels are quiet and normally require less maintenance than comparably sized gas (natural gas or propane) units. Fuel costs per kW produced with diesels is normally thirty to fifty percent less than gas units.

1800 rpm water cooled diesel units operate on average 12-30,000 hours before major maintenance is required. 1800 rpm water cooled gas units normally operate 6-10,000 hours because they are built on a lighter duty gasoline engine block.

3600 rpm air-cooled gas units are normally replaced – not overhauled at 500 to 1500 hours.

Because the gas units burn hotter (higher btu of the fuel) you will see significantly shorter lives than the diesel units.

How does a diesel work?
The main differences between the gasoline engine and the diesel engine are:

A gasoline engine intakes a mixture of gas and air, compresses it and ignites the mixture with a spark. A diesel engine takes in just air, compresses it and then injects fuel into the compressed air. The heat of the compressed air lights the fuel spontaneously.
A gasoline engine compresses at a ratio of 8:1 to 12:1, while a diesel engine compresses at a ratio of 14:1 to as high as 25:1. The higher compression ratio of the diesel engine leads to better efficiency.
Gasoline engines generally use either carburetion, in which the air and fuel is mixed long before the air enters the cylinder, or port fuel injection, in which the fuel is injected just prior to the intake stroke (outside the cylinder). Diesel engines use direct fuel injection -- the diesel fuel is injected directly into the cylinder.

WATER BOREHOLES ARE THE NORM HERE IN CATALUNYA.

Water boreholes are the norm here in Catalunya, the depth of drilling varies but generally water is found at around 240 metres. We have a partnership with one of the most experienced operators in this field, the work is guaranteed and the cost is very competitive -generally allow approximately 8,000 euros in your budget (this may vary depending on the topographical make up of the terrain, more drilling equates to more cost). Your own borehole gives you access to as much water as you require.

INP supplies the very best wind turbines to pump your water from your borehole to your property.
