Diesel Generators in Canada

Prime power diesel generators are intended for applications where the generator will be the primary power source. These diesel-fueled generators provide power over extended periods and can accommodate fluctuating power needs. Prime diesel electric generators can run for an unlimited number of hours each year, but the load should average no more than 70% of the generator diesel’s prime power rating.

When dependable, prime power is essential, our Canadian diesel generators are your ideal choice. T&T Power Group's prime generators deliver fuel-efficient energy where grid power is unreliable or unavailable. Count on T&T Power Group’s diesel generators to reduce operating costs while supplying the power needed to keep your systems running.

Key features of our prime diesel generators include:

• Fuel Efficiency: Lower fuel consumption is critical, especially in Canada’s remote areas, where logistics can be challenging, and the fuel itself may be more expensive.
• High Power Density: Power density refers to the amount of power a generator can produce relative to its size. In confined spaces, high power density is desirable because a diesel electric generator with high power density takes up less space and still delivers impressive power levels.
• Robust Design: Built to work continuously under heavy loads, T&T’s Canadian diesel generators deliver superior performance in demanding conditions.
• Advanced Control Systems: T&T Power Group’s diesel electric generators feature advanced control systems for real-time demand adjustments.
• Weather Resistance: T&T Power Group builds prime diesel generators for Canada that are designed for extreme weather conditions.
• Regulatory Compliance: Every diesel generator in Canada is 100% compliant with federal emissions regulations.

A diesel generator is a machine that converts diesel fuel into electrical energy through an internal combustion engine and an alternator. It’s commonly used for backup power, off-grid applications, and as a primary power source in industries where reliability and durability are essential.

Diesel generators are available in a wide range of power ratings to suit various applications, from small commercial needs to large-scale industrial operations. Power outputs typically range from 10 kW for smaller systems to over 2,000 kW for heavy-duty use. The appropriate power rating depends on factors like the size of the facility, the type of equipment being powered, and whether the generator will be used as a standby, prime, or continuous power source. 

T&T Power Group offers diesel generators in Canada with power ratings ranging from 10 kW to over 2,000 kW, ensuring reliable energy solutions for a variety of needs. Our lineup includes smaller units ideal for commercial backup, as well as large-scale generators tailored for industrial and continuous applications.

Advantages: 

• Very fast response time for emergency standby power applications. 
• High fuel efficiency, especially under heavy loads. 
• Long lifespan with proper maintenance. 
• Reliable performance in demanding environments. 
• Lower fuel cost compared to gas over long-term use. 

Disadvantages: 

• Higher upfront cost than gas generators at smaller sizes. 
• Louder operation, though modern designs are quieter. 
• Emissions are higher compared to natural gas generators.  

Commercial generators can come in various fuel options. The choice of fuel depends on factors like fuel availability, cost, environmental considerations, and your specific power requirements.  

• Diesel generators are known for their durability, fuel efficiency, and reliable performance, especially in colder Canadian climates and remote locations.  
• Gas generators, however, provide a cleaner, quieter solution for areas with established gas infrastructure and are preferred in urban or environmentally sensitive locations.  
• When propane generators are chosen over diesel or natural gas it is generally due to its clean-burning fuel, shelf life, reliable performance in cold weather, and on-site storage flexibility in remote areas.   
  

It depends on your needs. Diesel generators are ideal for remote locations where fuel delivery by truck is practical. They can handle higher loads at startup and are often favored in industrial or off-grid settings for their reliability and robust power output. Gas generators, by contrast, are quieter, cleaner, and typically more cost-effective for long-term use due to lower fuel expenses. They’re a great option for applications where noise and emissions are concerns or where natural gas is readily available.

Industrial and commercial diesel generators require regular maintenance to ensure reliable performance and long-term durability. Always follow the manufacture's recommended maintenance plan to ensure warranty coverage. Exact intervals vary by engine, but for heavy-duty generators, oil and filter changes are typically recommended every 250 to 400 operating hours, depending on usage intensity and environmental conditions. Generators running continuously or in demanding environments may require more frequent servicing. 

Comprehensive maintenance tasks, such as inspecting the fuel system, cleaning air filters, checking coolant levels, testing electrical connections, and ensuring proper system operation, should be conducted every 1,000 to 2,000 hours of operation or annually for generators running intermittently. These proactive measures help prevent costly breakdowns, extend the generator's lifespan, and ensure it operates efficiently when needed.
