You may heard about air-cooled generators and water cooled generator. Exactly, generators can be classified by air cooled and water cooled , according to different engine cooling way. Let’s take a look at some of the differences and advantages of these two kinds generator.
Power range
Power rate kva or kw ,normally are the first factor that we consider when buy a generator. how many kva for your device or appliance required, then you will know how many kva generator power you need. If for home use, air cooled generator can suit for most scene. Air-cooled diesel generator power range at 8kva to 25kva. While water-cooled diesel generator power range from 10kva to 3000kva. Due to air cooled generator cooling by air, do not suggest for continuously long time running. While water-cooled generator equipped with water radiator, engine can get excellent water cycle cooling,which make it suit for long time and continuously running job. For industry use, produce line use, suggest to choose water cooled diesel generator.
Appearance & Size
Obviously air cooled generator possess possess smaller size because of its small power,no radiator. It has open type, closed canopy type, movable with wheels type for option. While water cooled generator has bigger size because of its bigger power and equipped with radiator. Some people may think water cooled generator are noisy. Actually for open frame type genset it indeed noisy. these open type water cooled generator normally have its own genset house or using in the mining places etc. With more and more demand of power electricity back up power need for office, building, data center,hospital, etc. People have requirement about low noise level. Soundproof diesel generator appeared. So that genset can running quietly. Except soundproof generator, there are mobile trailer type maketh genset movable,which are popular in rental business and outdoor project.
Price
Air cooled generator power range ,power rate are small. Price are affordable for individual home, While water cooled generator consist of diesel engine, ac alternator,controller,base,radiator etc, different extra configuration for option like ATS, canopy, output interface etc. Price is not for certain. Price are higher than air cooled generator. But water cooled generator could provide more powerful electricity also, it is very worthy and economical choice for industry use.
Maintenance
Air cooled generator will be easier for maintenance job. While water cooled generator just like cars, which possess complex spare parts, need do regular maintenance job, so that can make water cooled generator stay in excellent condition. Every time the maintenance you do for the water cooled generator, it will contribute a lot and output electricity in time when you suffer electricity shortage. Know related maintenance intervals and prepare some necessary spare parts are very helpful.
