Q:Diesel?Coal?I mean modern trains, like freight and passenger ones.Thanks!

It depends on the type of engine: mostly turistic trains with a steaqm engine: coal Lines with overhead electricity lines: electricity other lines: diesel fuel In Sweden they rebuild Diesel railcars to use gas During WW2, due to the coal shortage in Switzerland, they reconstracted a few small switcher engines (coal) to an electric heating of the boiler. so you could see a steam engine using the overhead electric lines.

Q:i started work in a company and i have to maintain a fuel record of diesel generators.i need to know about this term,kindly answer me in good and easy manner and get 10 points.

The first two people to answer this question are both correct. They just explain it differently. Somewhere on the generator control panel, there is a meter that reads Hours on it. It is measuring (counting), in hours and tenths of an hour, how many hours the engine has been operating. It activates whenever the engine is turned on and deactivates when the engine is turned off. It's the best way to figure out when an engine needs service when you cant count its use in miles or kilometers.

Q:Having a basic background in electric and family moving into a remote prefab home with no electric, water, or gas, I decided to help. House and work shed electric requirements are simple, totaling a possible 5kwh at a given time to the shed, and 7kwh to the home. Obviously the home will have constant electric requirements (fridge, fans, etc). I cannot imagine it is economical nor efficient to run a diesel generator 24/7 for energy production as needed. Here are my questions:1. Should I use a stand-alone or emergency backup generator.2. Should I go with the conventional wisdom of choosing a generator that operates at 80% capacity for 1005 of my needs. IE: I need exactly 12kw maximum, so a ~14kwh generator.3. Solar panels have storage batteries. Can I use 12v or 18v, or an industry specific battery to only operate the generator for several hours a day for storgae of power? I know this is incredibly inefficient, any alternatives?Any help is greatly appreciated. Just need to be pointed in the right direction.

I think a stand alone gennie would be ok

Q:can you also tell me the functioning of those parts. thank you.

I think you mean diesel-electric generator. Properly, a diesel generator is a factory that makes diesel fuel. And the parts (at a high level, as there are thousands of parts total) are a diesel engine, plus fuel tank. an electric generator or alternator and electronic and mechanical controls to adjust the engine and generator so that it outputs the required voltage and frequency as the load changes.

Q:Did some searching, and found little other than single, model specific, manuals (either paper or on CD). The paper manuals are $50-60 each. Single model PDF manuals on CD are about $20.Does anyone know if a comprehensive set of shop service manuals is even available for Yamaha Portable Generators? (gas and diesel) I don't mind paying, but I don't want just ONE manual, I want 'em all. That way I don't have to go through this again when a different model Yamaha comes into my shop. TIA for any help!:-) ?

Q:i have a 7.5 onam diesel generator that runs for 15 min and shuts down i get a code 33 (overheating)I change coolant,cap and thermostat also checked air flow Still no luck.any ideas anyone

If it has a waterpump you might need to change that.

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:Does any one have any experience with Kipor Diesel Generators?I know the price is really good. But are they reliable? Or will i shoot myself for buying another Chinese product?I'm looking at model KDE16STA

Dont buy anything Chinese. They are not interested in customer satisfaction or quality and just want to shift as much product as possible. The materials are usually sub-standard and the build quality is total rubbish! I guess it depends what you want it for? If it is a one off use and then you are prepared to throw it away then maybe consider it but otherwise spend even double the amount and get some equipment that can be serviced and that has a customer service and back up plan. It will be more value in the long run. It is also more patriotic.

Q:i recently bought a reflux still it requires a 120 volt water pump to run it so my problem is i have the pump i just cant figure out how to get power i cannot use a gas or diesel generator cause it is to loud moon shining is illegal so the generator will get me caught i need a way to power the 120 volt water pump quietly and i don't got a lot of money in my budget so i need a way to power it for under a hundred dollars

You need a 12 volt to 120VAC inverter that can power the pump. If you can get your car near the still, you can hook the inverter to your car battery. You need to start the car every so often and recharge the battery. I hope you car engine is quiet enough. Might want to have a spare battery in case you run it down too low to start the car.

Q:I am trying to settle a estate for a friend and there are 2 small generators to start

A generator works using 3 components: an engine(gas, diesel, or LP-gas powered), the generator, and the control unit. The engine runs at a preset RPM to spin an armature inside a magnetic field, thereby producing an AC current. The AC current is then sent through the control panel/curcuit breaker box, where it is regulated and then finally used to power the house, boat, or whatever it is used to power. The actual worth of the two generators varies on what kind of fuel they run on, the engine size, the wattage, and hours of usage.
