Air-Cooled Generator Sets Versus Liquid-Cooled
Generator Sets Which You Should Prefer?

• Generators are of several types with particular
  advantages and features. Therefore, it's
  essential to opt for a generator wisely as per
  the requirement. In thud post, we have come up
  with the difference between two of the most
  common types of generators, including air-cooled
  generator sets and water-cooled generators, to
  assist you in choosing the appropriate generator
  among the two.

Water-Cooled Generator

• In a water-cooled generator, we need to pour
  water into the engine of the water generator. The
  important thing about this generator is that it
  will not get damaged faster when compared to
  air-cooled generators. The repairing parts and
  the maintenance for this water-cooled generator
  is economical. 
• Now take an example, if you want to build a tent
  or you want to DJ, then for sure it will take
  approximately 10-12 hours. And your generator
  must operate 10for -12 hours continuously. What
  people usually do is buy air-cooled generators
  and face the consequences.
• Air-cooled generator
• If you want to operate the generator for 1-2 hrs
  or operate the generator for 15 minutes, you can
  use air-cooled generators. The major drawback of
  air-cooled generators is that they get damaged
  easily, and their repairing parts are also
  expensive.

The Differences Between Air-Cooled and
Liquid-Cooled Generators 

• 1. Air-cooled generators
• The engine of the air-cooled generator is an
  overhead valve air-cooled. The way it works is
  that the engine is pulled by an air intake on the
  right and passed over the engine to cool it
  through the exhaust. These air-cooled generators
  are available in sizes 7 to 20kw, which can power
  most modern-sized homes and bigger homes with
  more oversized loads.
• 2. Water-cooled generator
• This type of generator has an automotive engine
  and an automotive cooling system. It is
  astonishing, just like the automobile. These
  generators can be available at a size of 30kw.

How Will You Know Which Is Suitable For You Among
Air-Cooled Generator Sets Or Water-Cooled
Generators?

• You may know only when you talk to assurance
  power systems, so they use a Gensizer tool to do
  a calculation and see precisely the right product
  for your house.
• Buying guide
• Nowadays we are more dependent on electricity and
  work pressure is also increasing. Due to these
  factors, generators are becoming a demand and
  more popular among people. Generators are used
  for emergency backup and independent power
  supply. 
• Types of generators
• Portable Generator
• Inverter Generator
• Standby generator

• Portable Generator
• The portable generators are used for domestic
  purposes, and it is affordable too.
• Inverter generator
• These generators are used in offices, apartments,
  and they will also provide stable electricity and
  provide total efficiency. The noise of these
  inverter generators is also less. Due to its
  efficiency and reliability, it is a bit
  expensive. 
• Standby generators
• These generators are used for industrial
  purposes. It is large and installed permanently.
  Though it is permanently installed, you cannot
  move from one place to another. That is, it is
  not portable. It can provide you with vast
  electricity.
• Before buying generators, it is crucial to keep a
  note of these points.
• Note the power of a generator you are planning to
  buy and determine how much power you need.

Which To Buy Among Air-Cooled Generators and
Water-Cooled

• Generators
• Consider this simple logic before buying the
  generators, Air-cooled generators will not
  require water, whereas water-cooled generators
  will require generators. 
• Pipe and fan belts will not break in air-cooled
  generators, whereas in water-cooled generators,
  we will have a fear of bursting pipes and fan
  belts.
• If you load in a pickup, then it will not release
  air in air-cooled generators. But it can produce
  a small amount of heat.
• If you operate water-cooled generators in a tent,
  you will have to pour water in it, while in
  air-cooled generators, you don't have to pour
  water.
• There is also a fear of pipe breaking, so that it
  can lead to engine damage. If the pipe bursts,
  then it will produce more heat to the engine.
• Water-cooled generators are best for pickup
  because the generator will release the air from
  the upper side.
• When the engine gets heated, the water in it
  cools down the engine, and it also cools down by
  the fan in the generator. There is a wheel on the
  lower side of the engine that also cools down the
  engine by its airflow. The wheel is made up of
  titanium or iron.

• Consider a fan and a cooler. Both provide
  airflow, but the fan will give you hot air during
  the summer times, and the cooler will provide you
  cool air. Now imagine a cooler is a water-cooled
  generator, and a fan is an air-cooled generator.
• Water-cooled generators are better because they
  have water to cool down the heat produced by the
  engine after operating for long hours. So,
  experts suggest you can use water-cooled
  generators for more duration, and you will not
  have the problem of bursting the fan belt. 
• The air-cooled engine doesn't have water to cool
  down when the engine gets heated. The air-cooled
  generators can use it for simple purposes and
  short duration. 
• What happens in water-cooled generators is that
  it reduces the heat production even in the closed
  area because of multi fans. But air-cooled
  generators will heat up more, and the fear of
  burst fan belts will increase while they are used
  in closed areas.
• Thus, both the generators are helpful in their
  ways. It depends on your usage only. I am saying
  here that you must prefer water-cooled generators
  if you want to operate the generator for long
  hours. If you want to operate the generator for a
  few hours, you must prefer air-cooled generator
  sets. Both generators have their level of
  efficiency and are best in their case. Opt for
  any of them as per your requirements.

Conclusion

• Since the technology has developed and is still
  developing, the generator's features are also
  advancing day by day. Depending on your usage,
  you should choose the generator. Think twice and
  ask experts about generators, then go for it!
