Silent Diesel Generator


Recommended Posts

68dB is pretty quiet.

I find it a difficult unit to grasp.....

My first thought is, well how far away is this 68db?

Wiki told me it is normal loudness for people talking to one another, and quieter than a vacuum cleaner.

Here are some noise levels....

 

So, thankfully it is less than a military helicopter, or the old AC I had in my flat in Abu Dhabi.

 

It might be quite relaxing to hear 68db keeping the beer cold.

Thanks an expensive 5 KW gen.

 

 

Question, what is the standard breaker size for a wall outlet in Thailand. In the US it is 15 Amps.

Mine does not have individual breakers per outlet........it is likely to be a ring main.

I just checked, 20 amp.

One thing to keep in mind is that air cooled diesel engines have a shorter life than petrol engines. By contrast, a water cooled diesel will run forever, particularly the very common tak tak single cylinder Kubota or Yanmar types. I have two generators, both petrol. I bought a 2,500 watt that I used for a one HP submersible water pump. A good electrician that I know told me that running that water pump would quickly kill that little 2,500 watt generator. I then bought a 5,000 watt for the farm pump and took the 2,500 watt unit home and use it for power outages.
