Q:Explain the operation,advantages and disadvantages of diesel power plant?

I am not sure what you are really asking about the operation of a diesel generator. You start the engine and connect the electrical load to the generator buss. If you are connecting to a grid or existing power system then you need to match the frequency of the grid. As to advantages and disadvantages, you need to state what you want to compare it to and how large the generator or system is.

Q:If an 5MW diesel generator works for 30 days non stop how much diesel will it use.

the rule of thumb is that an efficient diesel, working continuously burns 1 gal/hr for every 15hp developed. A 5MW generator therefore requires about 6,705 hp. 6705/15 447 gal/hr in 30 days30 * 24 *447 321,840 gallons. Given that very large engines can be extraordinarily efficient, which will make up for some of the mechanical and electrical losses, a good guess would be 300,000 gallons

Q:Can someone please tell me what is the piston ring cap is for the 186FA Diesel Engine 10hp, fitted into the powermate PM6100DS / 6KW Generator.

Just about all the rings you purchase new today come pre-gapped to the correct tolerance, just like spark plugs. Way in the past, of course back then it was necessary to check the gap. With such a small engine 1/16 is plenty.

Q:Are they cranked by a self starter? Is there such an immensely powerful self starter that runs off batteries and can start such a big engine?Or are they started by some gasoline powered motor?

A diesel engine is started (like an automobile) by turning over the crankshaft until the cylinders fire or begin combustion. The starting can be done electrically or pneumatically. Pneumatic starting was used for some engines. Compressed air was pumped into the cylinders of the engine until it gained sufficient speed to allow ignition, then fuel was applied to fire the engine. The compressed air was supplied by a smallauxiliary engine or by high pressure air cylinders carried by the locomotive. Electric starting is now standard. It works the same way as for an automobile, with batteries providing the power to turn a starter motor which turns over the main engine. In older locomotives fitted with DC generators instead of AC alternators, the generator was used as a starter motor by applying battery power to it.

Q:Ex:cars.But im not sure about buses, motorcycles, and airplanes.Please help me out.thanks

Subways, street cars, trains, elevators, escalators, moving sidewalks, scooters, Electric buses. Most locomotives run on electric motors but they have a massive diesel generator built in.

Q:I am doing a research project and I can't find anything about there being power plants on Easter Island, Do they have to bring in batteries?

Electricity, also widely available, but expensive by world standards, is provided by diesel generators to 220v Chilean standard, using a 2-pin round plug. The USA constructed Hotel Hangaroa maintains its American standard 110v 2-pin flat plug.

Q:I'm a salesman for a welding supplies company, and a customer is interested in buying a diesel welder/generator for use in the paddock where he can't get electricity. While looking around I've come across a 200amp machine but it says it's a 200amp AC welder. it was my understanding that all welders are DC standard, and the AC current was only on welders to weld aluminum.

At 3000 RPM it would make 50 Hz. not 60 HZ power. My guess is that the speed regulation would not be good enough just because precise regulation costs more. It is rated for 75 Volts. It would probably be cheaper to buy a 10HP generator than try to adapt a welder.

Q:I bought an old moving truck that I only want for storage. It will be parked on my off grid property. I would like to rig it to run a generator that could charge up a large bank of batteries for when my solar isn't collecting enough power. I know it can be done but I'm curious first, how to do it, and second, if it's worth doing? Thank you very much for your input.

Yes but it is over kill (THAT'S ENOUGH TO RUN A LARGE HOTEL) What you wont is a small quite cheep generator (some of them cannot be herd running) What about a wind generator? ALL THE BEST TOM

Q:a falling waterb burning coalc sunlightd gasoline or diesel fuel

most likely d. gasoline or diesel fuel

Q:i want to see the model of this perkins generating set

That is the serial number for the engine only YD-35028- U-730936-F YD engine family 35028 parts list or sos number U country of manufacture in this case UK 730936 engine serial number F year of manufacturing Perkins Sold engines to many generator Manufacturers I can buy a Perkins engine and assemble a gen set with any available generator head and put (XTZ big bucks generator) on it for the name
