Why Own a Diesel Generator?
A diesel generator is a far superior choice over a petrol alternative for your off-grid living, construction site power or remote farming needs. Diesel is far safer to handle as it's combustible, as opposed to explosive, in fact on many job sites, petrol is not allowed due to the safety concerns. Diesel fuel stores better then petrol and when it comes to consumption, the higher compression ratio of the diesel engines results in higher efficiency, returning longer run times.
These generators by Paddock offer a quality single phase generator coupled to a well proven diesel engine. Having these units packaged in a enclosure which significantly reduces the noise level makes these units pleasant to work around.
Diesel Engine
These generators run a 10 hp, air cooled diesel engine and has been in circulation throughout the world including Australia for many years. These engines offer exceptional efficiency and power from a small, low weight, air cooled diesel engine.
It should be noted, air cooled diesel engines are better suited to temporary and backup power supply demands. Whilst this generator can be run continuously, it will not last as long as a water cooled diesel engine. Water cooled diesel engines are often 5 times the cost and this limitation needs to be respected when making your decision. For the best reliability, users should plan for a major engine service every 1,000 run hours with air cooled diesel engine.
