Silent Type Generator FAQ's
Are your silent generators suitable for home use?
Our silent diesel generators are deal for home us. The low noise canopies have been designed to be amongst the quietest on the market, this is particularly important for residential generator applications
Is a silent generator really silent?
The answer is no, typically silent generator canopies produce 79 dBA noise levels at 7m. However bet brands like our Target Power Generators, produce as little as 69 dBA at 7m, depending on factors such as location and installation.
There are further manufacturing processes that can be done, to help reduce the noise levels further. Such as increasing the thickness of the canopy steel and increasing soundproofing thickness. In some cases we have achieved as little as 59 dBA at 7m.
What is the difference between silent and open generators?
Open type generators dont have a protective canopy or accoustic enclsures, whcih protects the generator from the elements, where as a silent generator does. Silent generators are quieter due to the acoustic enclosure. Open sets are typically installed in basements, or in buildings.
Are diesel generators quieter than petrol?
Petrol generators are quieter, due to their smaller size and smaller engines. Petrol generators typically range from 1 kva and go up to 10 kva. However Diesel generators are larger, and start at 6 kva and can go up to 3000 kva.
Who makes the quietest engine?
Perkins, Cummins, Scania, Volvo and Doosan are amongst the largest generator diesel engine manufacturers in the world. They all tend to be quieter than most on the market, however most top brands generator engines are much of a muchness when it comes to quietness. Manufacturers like Target Power, we use assemble techniques to reduce our noise levels further such as using higher quality AVM’s and thicker base frames which reduces vibrations from the engines.
What is a super silent generator?
A super silent generator is up to 30% quieter compared to a traditional silent diesel generator. They are constructed from thicker metals, and have thicker soundproofing to reduce noise levels. A traditional generator produces 82-89 dBA at 7m, however a super silent generator can produce noise levels as low as 55 dBA at 7m.
How can acoustics help you reduce generator noise?
Yes, some projects require a super silent generator solution. If a back up generator is installed near residential or commercial building , then they will need to be low noise to avoid disturbance. Achieve this acoustic barriers can be installed around the generator to reduce noise levels by up to 15 dBA.
