  2. Company Overview: • TMTL - TAFE Motors and Tractors Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of Tractors and Farm Equipment Limited (TAFE) • TMTL consists of three manufacturing divisions, the Tractors Division, the Engines Division and the Transmissions Division. • Based at Alwar, Rajasthan, the unit manufactures diesel engines in the 5 to 125 kVA range.

  4. How does the diesel generator set work? • The primary function of a diesel power generator is to convert mechanical energy created by the combustion of diesel into electrical energy. • A silent diesel generator set consists of three main components: diesel engine, AC alternator and control panel. • Engine: The engine is the primary component of a diesel generator set, this is because it is the source of mechanical energy which is later converted into electrical energy.

  5. How does the diesel generator set work? • The power output of the generators is directly proportional to the size of the engine. • Alternator: The alternator converts the electrical output from the mechanical input supplied by the engine. • The alternator consists of a rotor, which is the moving part of the alternator. • The rotor produces a magnetic field which eventually produces the alternating current. • Control panel: The control panels consist of the start and stop button.

  6. How does the diesel generator set work? • It also indicates the reading of various parameters like voltage, current and frequency. • The switches on the control panel make the generator easy to operate. • Inside the generator set, the air is drawn into a cylinder and compressed. • The compressed air is heated to a temperature of 700 – 900°C. • Simultaneously, diesel is injected in the cylinder which combusts due to the high temperature of the cylinder.

  7. How does the diesel generator set work? • The heat energy is converted into mechanical energy through a piston in the cylindrical passage, this piston is further connected to a crankshaft. • An alternator is coupled with the diesel engine and the mechanical energy from the cylinder is transmitted to an alternator and converted into electrical energy.
