Maintenance Method of Diesel Generator Set Radiator



Radiator is very important for a diesel generator set. It is used for heat dissipation. In most cases, it will affect the normal operation of the genset without a proper maintenance or incorrect use of radiator.

1. Usually, corrosion is the main cause for radiator failure. In the process of using, the air in the water will accelerate the corrosion process. Therefore, doing a regular maintenance for the pipe joint is quite necessary to avoid leaking. Meanwhile, do not forget to regularly add water to drain air from the top of the radiator.

Attention: Radiators should not be partially injected with water, which will speed up corrosion. For non-working generating sets, water should be completely removed or fully filled. If possible, please use distilled water or natural soft water and add appropriate amount of antirust agent.

2. Coolant of the working radiator is usually very hot and with pressure, you are not allowed to tidy the radiator or dismantle the pipes before cooling; do not work on the radiator or open the protection cover while the fan is till rotating.


3. Outside cleaning: In a dusty or polluted environment, the gap of the radiator may be jammed by fragments or insects, which will affect the efficiency of the radiator. Regular cleaning of these light deposits can be done with low pressure hot water and detergent. Spray steam or water from the front of the radiator to the fan. It is from the opposite direction, the dirt will be blow into the center. When using this method, diesel engine and AC generator should be covered with cloth. For stubborn sediments, removal can not be done by  up-mentioned method. Please disassemble the radiator and soak it in the hot alkaline water for about 20 minutes, then wash it with hot water.


Like defense construction, communication center, broadcasting station, and commercial buildings should be equipped with standby silent diesel generator. This kind of facility can be supplied by electricity grid. However, due to earthquake, typhoon, war and other natural disasters or man-made factors, after the power cut because of the destruction of the municipal power grid, the standby generator that have been set up will start quickly to ensure continuous power supply to the these important projects. Usually, this type stand-by generating set also belongs to common type of genset.

Guides to Clean VOLVO Diesel Generator Cooling System

VOLVO Engine Cooling System Volvo engine's internal cooling system makes sure the engine works at the right temperature. It is a closed system that must always be filled with a mixture of concentrated coolant and water in order to protect the engine against internal corrosion, cavitation and bursting due to freezing. Coolant of a suitable chemical composition must be used all year round. This also applies in areas where there is never any risk of freezing, to provide the engine of  diesel generator set   with full corrosion protection. The use of anti-corrosion agents alone is not permitted in Volvo Penta engines. Never use water alone as a substitute for coolant. The corrosion protection additives become less effective over time, which means that the coolant must be changed at regular intervals; refer to Maintenance Schedule. The cooling system must be flushed whenever the coolant is changed; Volvo Penta coolants have been prepared to work best ...
