Commercial generators are very essential for business as they provide reliable backup power during outages, ensuring uninterrupted business operations, protecting sensitive systems, and minimizing downtime. They also help in keeping critical systems like emergency lighting, security, and other important systems operational. In this blog, let’s discuss the top 10 commercial generator deals available on eBay. Cummins [...]
To estimate the right value of your used generator consider factors like type of generator, running hours, condition, age, and intended purpose. Lower running hours and better conditions indicate a high value for the generator. The right thumb rule for industrial generators is $300 to $450 per KW, but it can vary according to your generator’s [...]
To determine the sizing of a generator for a commercial building, you need to consider factors such as total power source requirements like starting loads, running loads, and reserve capacity. This process is done by measuring maximum electricity usage, estimating square footage, examining historical data, and consulting with a professional technician. The most common technique is [...]
Natural gas generators' emissions include carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO2), and nitrogen oxides (NOx) which are regulated by the EPA. Natural gas produces cleaner emissions compared to fossil fuels releasing few pollutants and greenhouse gases. The emissions are governed by standards that are based on the manufacturing date and the generator’s horsepower. In this blog, [...]
Winterizing commercial backup generators is very essential to maintain durable performance, and avoid costly damage in cold weather. It is important for areas of freezing temperatures, to prevent issues like fuel line problems, engine freezing, and battery failure. In this blog let’s discuss why winterizing is important for commercial backup generators and what are the steps [...]
Generally, it is not recommended to run a commercial diesel generator during rain as it will result in electrical hazards, component damage, and reduced performance. The generator should be kept dry for safe and seamless operation. If you need to operate the generator in wet conditions, make use of protections like a canopy, and do not [...]
In commercial generators, load management involves balancing the power supply and electrical demand to avoid overloading, reduce costs, and prioritize critical equipment thereby managing power consumption. Before we dive deep, let’s learn the basics of load management. What is load management? Load management or Demand Side Management controls the power consumption to enhance the usage of [...]
In a commercial setup, the outdoor generator is preferred since it is easy to install, lowers cost, and has few building code requirements whereas the indoor generator requires a dedicated room, ventilation, and strict safety measures. An indoor commercial generator is a backup power source that typically generates power for businesses and industries. They are larger [...]
To effectively clean diesel with fuel polishing, pump out the diesel fuel from the tank and send it to the filtration system that performs different stages of purification to eliminate unwanted contaminants including sediments, microbial growth, and water. After filtration, the clean diesel is again sent back to the tank; in this process, the unfiltered fuel [...]
The UL-142 and UL-2085 are the safety standards introduced by UL or Underwriters Laboratories that provide instructions or rules for constructing storage tanks for combustible or flammable liquids. The key difference between UL-142 and UL-2085 are: The UL-142 is a basic safety standard used to construct single-walled steel tanks to store flammable, combustible, and non-corrosive liquids. [...]
