Q:i have a 2004 duramax 6.6 diesel truck.does anyone know if there is a converter kit to use the truck as a generator for my house?

Detroit Diesel built 2 stroke diesel and was used in over the road trucks until early 90's when EPA pretty much clamped down on them that the engine could not pass clean air standards. There are still many running in heavy equip in the construction today. How ever they are being phased out and repowered with cleaner burning 4 stroke engines.

Q:I'm curious about knowing whats the different them both. Thanks.

A generator is usually powered by a diesel or gas (petrol) engine which powers an alternator to produce mains power for hours provided it is topped up with fuel. A UPS uses a large battery and a high powered inverter circuit to produce mains power but is not expected to power equipment for very long, just long enough to shut them down safely without loss of data.

Q:There are several ways to start the diesel generator set?

Diesel generator set manual start: first test alarm system is normal, the control switch is cut in the manual (MAN) position, the diesel generator set can start on their own

Q:hi,Thanks for your help in advance,Need more information on recent trends in applications of DC shunt generator. Kindly help.thank you

Well you already said it was a DC generator. By nature all generators generate their output voltage in cycles as they rotate, or even as they go back and forth for a linear generator. Therefore they generate AC, but the commutator converts this to DC. The commutator is a rotary switch that reverses the connection at the correct part of the rotation so that the current always flows one direction. That is DC, direct current instead of AC, alternating current. Sometimes AC generators may be called an Alternator. A shunt generator simply means it is self excited, that is the field magnet is connected across the generator's output, rather than having a separate DC generator for the field.

Q:HI, I'm a college student Marine EngineeringI don't know the procedures of*pre-start up*start-up*stoppingof an emergency AC Generatorplz. help :)I'm going to monitor during operation that's why I want to know all of thatplease response as soon as possible.

Before check all fluid levels and turn off all breakers before starting or stopping!

Q:I need these values for 400 KVa and 150 KVa plants in order to run an air pollution computer simulation. Thanks!. Volumetric flow is not useful for me,because i don't have any information about flow areas or diameters.

This is a difficult question to answer accurately. The velocity of the exhaust gas is highly dependent on the size of the exhaust pipe. A smaller exhaust pipe, a much higher velocity --- a larger exhaust pipe, a much slower exhaust gas velocity. A 2 exhaust pipe would have about 2.25 times the velocity of a 3 pipe. The exhaust velocity is highly dependent as well on the RPM of the generator. Double the RPM, and there is much higher pressure, and much higher exhaust gas velocity. An attached article mentions that the exhaust velocity in some unspecified gasoline powered car --- and at some unspecified RPM --- is about 240 to 260 feet per second. autolounge /tech/exhaust.html

Q:If it is that equation then if i ran a 500 gallon diesel generator under full loadsaying at about 3.5MPG will i get 1250 hours to get 52 days?!?!?!? or am i off on equation or my theory????

Conversion? They are calculating two different things. The reason something would be measured in work hours instead of mileage is for the fact the equipment does not in fact travel under its own load or it spends more time at a stand still. Work hours tend to be used on a lot of construction equipment and other things that stay stationary for long amounts of time thus creating wear on the unit though it is not moving and adding miles so they use hours to calculate how old the unit is or when it needs to be serviced next. You can never get an actual equality from these two different units as one measures time usage/fuel and one measures distance/fuel if you were calculating to find a run time for example. ***additional*** There would be no equation for MPG that you are looking for if converting from hours. Are you looking for how much fuel is consumed over a length of time? That's the only way to calculate fuel consumption would be over time vs. over a distance as MPG is.

Q:A. Chernobyl, UkraineB. Middletown, PennsylvaniaC. Ottawa, Canada

Chernobyl Russia. That became into the worst in the international. in the rustic we had 3 mile island. The nuclear plant leached that's poison into the floor in the encompassing section and made it uninhabitable. In Russia, that plant melted down and left the finished section uninhabitable for some destiny years.

Q:Difference between diesel generator and gas turbine generator set

From the cold start to full load after the time is only 30 seconds, while the provisions of the diesel generator after the successful start of the load with a load of 3 minutes.

Q:about diesel generator

probably only that the water cooled one has a higher efficiency. because of higher temperature gradient. can't say anything for sure.
