Three Common Mistakes in Winter Maintenance of Diesel Generator Sets What Seems “Reasonable” May Be Damaging Your Generator As temperatures continue to drop in winter, ensuring the stable operation of diesel generator sets becomes increasingly critical, although it is well-known engine like Cummins, Perkins or Weichai. Low temperatures can significantly affect starting performance, fuel systems, and cooling systems. However, in real-world winter maintenance, some practices that appear reasonable may actually hide serious risks. These mistakes not only fail to protect the equipment but can also cause damage and even compromise emergency power supply reliability. Below are three common winter maintenance misconceptions that deserve special attention.     Mistake 1: “Idle Standby Generators Don’t Need Maintenance” Many users believe that standby generator sets do not require regular maintenance if they are not running. This passive approach is one o...

Choosing Diesel Generators for Data Centers: Chinese Brands vs International Manufacturers   As AI computing, cloud services, and hyperscale data centers continue to expand, power continuity has become one of the most critical design considerations. Diesel generator sets remain the primary and most reliable backup power solution for Tier III and Tier IV data centers worldwide. Traditionally, international manufacturers such as Cummins, Caterpillar, MTU, Mitsubishi, and Perkins have dominated the high-end data center market. In recent years, however, Chinese diesel generator brands have made significant technological and manufacturing progress, becoming a realistic alternative in many projects. This article provides a practical, engineering-based comparison to help data center owners, EPC contractors, and consultants make informed decisions.     1.
