Diesel engine
The engine of a diesel generator is one of the most important components. How much power your diesel generator produces and how much equipment or buildings it can power will depend on the size and total power of the engine.

Fuel system
The fuel system is what keeps the diesel generator running. The entire fuel system consists of many components – including the fuelpump, return line, fuel tank, and the connecting line that runs between the engine and fuel tank.

Control Panel
As the name implies, the control panel is what controls the overall operation of the diesel generator. The ATS or AMF panel can automatically detect A/C power loss from the main power supply and turn on diesel generator power.

Alternators
Alternators control the process of converting mechanical (or chemical) energy into electrical energy. The alternator system generates the electromagnetic field that generates the electrical energy.

Exhaust system/cooling system
By their very nature, diesel generators get hot. The power generation process generates a lot of heat and it is important tokeep it cool so it does not burn out or overheat. Diesel fumes and other heat will be carried away by exhaust system.

Voltage regulator
It is important to regulate the power of the diesel generator to achieve a steady flow that will not ruin any equipment. The voltage regulator can also convert power from A/C to D/C if needed.

Battery
The battery means that the diesel generator is ready when you need emergency or backup power. It provides a consistent flow of low-voltage energy to keep the battery ready.

Lubrication System
All the parts in a diesel generator – nuts, bolts, levers, pipes – need to be kept moving. Keeping them lubricated with enough oil will prevent wear, rust and damage to diesel generator components. When using a diesel generator, be sure to pay attention to lubrication levels.

What holds them together – a solid frame structure that holds all the above components together.
