The choice between a diesel generator and a propane generator depends on:The necessary powerof the expected duration of useThe type of buildingThe desired autonomyAccess to fuel

Diesel generators offer several important advantages compared to propane generators, particularly for extended emergency, commercial or industrial applications.1. Improved battery lifeDiesel engines generally offer better autonomy due to lower fuel consumption. A diesel generator can operate longer on the same tank of fuel, which is advantageous during extended power outages.2. Greater durabilityDiesel engines are renowned for their robustness and longevity. They are designed to operate for extended periods and under demanding conditions, making them an excellent choice for sustainable emergency power.3. Higher engine torqueA diesel generator produces more engine torque, which makes it easier to start demanding equipment such as:PumpsCompressorsElectric heatingIndustrial equipmentPower tools4. Improved performance under heavy loadDiesel generators are very well suited to handling heavy loads and rapid changes in electrical demand. Several models, such as RoyalGen generators, offer an instantaneous load capacity of 100% (Block Load).5. More accessible fuel in emergency situationsDiesel is often easier to store and transport during a prolonged breakdown. It is also widely available for commercial, agricultural, and industrial applications.6. Less maintenance related to ignitionUnlike propane or gasoline engines, diesel engines do not require spark plugs, which reduces certain mechanical maintenance.7. Excellent choice for extended useDiesel generators are particularly suitable:To prolonged breakdownsTo remote sitesAt the farmsTo commercial buildingsAt the workshopsFor industrial applications

Choosing a generator depends on the power output required, the number of devices to be powered, and the type of building. A RoyalGen dealer can help you determine if the RoyalGen RGS17Y 17 kW is suitable for your installation.
