Description

Silent diesel generators use composite materials in a generator enclosure. Usually, these are layers of hard material which bounce the sound energy back into the enclosure. They also use soft, porous materials which absorb the sound energy, converting it into heat.A diesel generator (DG) (also known as a diesel Genset) is the combination of a diesel engine with an electric generator (often an alternator) to generate electrical energy.Several industries require gensets to provide power and backup electricity. Gensets are also used to keep refrigerated loads cold during road transport when shore or vessel power is not available.Based on applications various types of generators include portable generators, inverter generators, standby generators, industrial generators and induction generators.Electric generators work on the principle of electromagnetic induction. A conductor coil (a copper coil tightly wound onto a metal core) is rotated rapidly between the poles of a horseshoe type magnet.
