Single Cylinder 3.5KW Gasoline Powered Generators Air Cooled Gasoline Generator Set

<1> Overview of generator

Gasoline powered generators, also known as petrol generators, are portable power sources that use gasoline (petrol) as their fuel to generate electricity. They are commonly used in situations where access to electricity is limited or during power outages. Gasoline generators are versatile and widely used for both residential and commercial applications.

Here are some key features and information about gasoline powered generators:

1. Engine: Gasoline generators are equipped with an internal combustion engine that operates on gasoline as the fuel source. The engine can be either a two-stroke or four-stroke engine, with the latter being more common due to their better fuel efficiency and lower emissions.

2. Power Output: Gasoline generators are available in a range of power outputs, typically measured in watts or kilowatts. The power output determines the electrical load the generator can handle. Smaller gasoline generators may provide a few hundred watts, suitable for powering small appliances or tools, while larger models can deliver several thousand watts to power more significant loads or multiple devices simultaneously.

3. Portability: Gasoline generators are designed to be portable, allowing for easy transportation and use in various locations. They usually come with a sturdy frame or a set of wheels, handles, and sometimes a foldable design for convenient storage and transportation.

4. Fuel Capacity and Runtime: Gasoline generators have a fuel tank that can hold a certain amount of gasoline. The fuel capacity determines how long the generator can run continuously before requiring a refueling. The runtime depends on the generator's fuel efficiency and the load it is powering. Higher loads consume more fuel and result in shorter runtime.

5. Starting Mechanism: Gasoline generators typically have a pull-start mechanism, similar to a lawnmower, where a cord is pulled to manually start the engine. Some models may also include an electric start option, where the engine is started with the push of a button.

6. Power Outlets: Gasoline generators feature built-in power outlets for connecting electrical devices. These outlets can vary in type and number, including standard household outlets (120V), twist-lock outlets (120V/240V), USB ports, and DC outlets, offering flexibility to accommodate various devices and appliances.

7. Noise Level: Gasoline generators can generate noise during operation, and their noise level is typically measured in decibels (dB). The noise level can vary depending on the generator's size, engine design, and the load it is powering. Some generators offer features like noise reduction technology or soundproof enclosures to minimize noise output.

8. Maintenance: Regular maintenance is essential to ensure the proper functioning and longevity of a gasoline generator. This includes tasks such as checking oil levels, changing oil and filters, inspecting spark plugs, and cleaning or replacing air filters. The manufacturer's guidelines should be followed for maintenance procedures and schedules.

Gasoline generator principle
The gasoline engine drives the generator, which converts the energy of gasoline into electricity. the
In the gasoline engine cylinder, the mixed gas burns violently, and the volume expands rapidly, pushing the piston down to do work. The cylinders perform work in a certain order, and the thrust acting on the piston becomes the power to drive the crankshaft through the connecting rod, thereby driving the crankshaft to rotate. Install the brushless synchronous alternator coaxially with the crankshaft of the gasoline engine, and the rotation of the gasoline engine can be used to drive the rotor of the generator. Using the principle of 'electromagnetic induction', the generator will output induced electromotive force, and the current can be generated through the closed load circuit.
