Why Are Generators Canopied, Containerised or Open?

Canopied Generators

A canopied generator has a purpose built cover that protects the inside of the generator from the elements. This protective structure often means the canopied generators require less maintenance. Canopied generators come in all shapes and sizes perfect for emergency power. See our CAT® 50KVA DIESEL GENERATOR - DE50GC for an example of a canopied generator.

Containerised Generators

A containerised generator is a completely self-contained generator that has been built within a standard ISO shipping container. Generators housed within a container are used as a backup or single power source for companies and factories that require a large amount of power. Containerised generators are quick to install, ideal for emergency or continuous power.

Open Generators

An open generator has no cover and is usually installed within a specialist facility. Often positioned within the basement of a hospital or factory, where there is no risk of the open generators being affected by the elements.

Temporary Covers

If you have a temporary cover over your generator, like a tarpaulin for example, make sure to remove this cover before starting the generator. Without enough airflow to the engine and with nowhere for the exhaust fumes to go the engine will over heat and the CO2 detectors may be activated.

Choose The Correct Generator

Make sure you have chosen the correct type of generator for your uses. Rain and snow can ruin the wiring and outlets of the generator causing malfunctions and even possible electrocution. Further damage may be caused if moisture works its way into the fuel, fan or alternator. To avoid having a flooded generator, never leave an open generator outside without a specialised housing unit.

Containerized diesel generator sets, as the name suggests, refer to diesel generator sets that are packed in transportable containers. It is used as an auxiliary backup power supply or main power supply when the main power supply cannot be obtained. It is specially designed and manufactured for the remote and unreachable areas or field engineering construction. The advantage of container diesel generators compared to traditional types of diesel generators is that they are quieter because containers use soundproof curtains to reduce noise levels. At the same time, the container diesel generator set has the following advantages.

Low fuel consumption.

With the development of technology, the efficiency of container diesel generators has been greatly improved. Unlike conventional generators, the fuel consumption of conventional generators can exceed the expected efficiency of the generator. This compact and highly optimized containerized generator design specifically increases its efficiency while reducing fuel consumption.

Easy to carry.

The containerized design of diesel generators makes them a suitable choice for the industry in the long run. The containers are made of metal, mainly steel, with dust and water repellent coatings to avoid external wear. In addition, the construction of the container takes into account the transportation needs of the industry. The durability of the container allows it to be easily transported from one site to another without affecting the generator.

Cost-effective.

Containerized diesel generators are also designed to increase efficiency at lower fuel costs. The timer built into the generator cuts down on extra fuel usage, and everything saves you a lot of money in terms of fuel efficiency. With regular maintenance and service, this long-term maintenance efficiency can pay off significantly.

Strong scalability.

Not every piece of equipment has the same energy requirements. Equipment may change as projects change, and demand for energy will increase wherever container generators are providing energy here. It can provide the required energy due to easy expansion.

Guaranteed performance.

With changes in altitude and temperature, generators are greatly affected and may even go out of power. These power outages adversely affected the functioning of the industry. Thanks to the container, and the installation of a high-quality cooling system, the generator can work at the specified altitude and temperature.
