How to Prevent Diesel Generator Sets from High Temperature



With the increase of temperature in summer, the demand for electricity will also increase, so more diesel generators will be used, so what should we pay attention to in the process of using diesel generators in summer? The following is a detailed introduction of the six points for attention when diesel generator sets are used in summer.

1. Good ventilation to avoid high temperature.
The installation place should be well ventilated, the generator end should have enough air inlet, and the diesel engine end should have good air outlet. The air outlet area should be more than 1.5 times larger than the water tank area.

Reminder: diesel generator SET should not run in the sun exposure to high temperature environment, in case the generator block heating too quickly lead to failure.

2. Keep clean

Keep the installation area clean and avoid the presence of corrosive gases and vapors, such as acidic, alkaline, etc. It is best to install fire extinguishing devices.

3. Exhaust smoke unobstructed

In indoor application, the exhaust pipe must be led outside, the diameter of the pipe must be the diameter of the exhaust pipe of the silencer, the elbow of the connected pipe should not exceed 3, in order to ensure the smoke discharge is smooth, and the pipe should be inclined down 5-10 degrees to avoid Rain Water injection; If the exhaust pipe is installed vertically up, a rain shield must be installed.

4. Shockproof

When the foundation adopts concrete, the horizontal degree of the unit must be measured with the horizontal ruler during installation, so that the unit is fixed on the horizontal foundation. Between the unit and the foundation shall be a special shock cushion or bolts with bottom foot.

5. protective ground connection

The generator unit shell must have reliable protective grounding. For the generator which must have neutral point direct grounding, it must be neutral ground by professional personnel, and be equipped with lightning protection device, it is strictly forbidden to use the electric power earthing device to conduct neutral point direct grounding.

6. bilateral switch

The two-way switch between generator and power must be very reliable to prevent power from being sent backwards. The connection reliability of the two-way switch needs to be verified by the local power supply department. Local power supply department inspection approval.

Since the diesel generator set itself produces high temperature when it is in operation, with the increasing of the external temperature in summer, how to prevent the safe use of diesel generator set in the high temperature weather is often concerned by many users. Below by starlight small to introduce the diesel generator summer maintenance method.

1. Ensure sufficient circulating cooling water

First of all, the circulating cooling water in the diesel generator tank should be kept in sufficient condition so that the maximum heat dissipation can be achieved during the operation of the diesel generator.

2. Keep the coolant in place

When the engine is in a cold state, the coolant level shall be added in time if the liquid level is lower than the minimum mark of the expansion tank between the top and lowest marks of the expansion tank. Note that the coolant in the expansion tank cannot be filled and should leave room for expansion.

3. Correct use of closed cooling system

When the engine is working, the coolant vapor enters the expansion tank and then flows back to the radiator after cooling, which can prevent a large amount of evaporation loss of the coolant and raise the boiling point temperature of the coolant. The cooling system should use high quality coolant with anti-corrosion, anti-boiling, anti-freezing and anti-scale, and must be sealed in order to achieve results.

4. Maintain external and internal cleanliness of the cooling system

The radiator of generator set has soil on the outside, oil stain or heat sink will affect the passage of wind when it is deformed due to impact, and the radiator becomes worse, which results in the excessive temperature of the coolant. So the radiator should be cleaned or trimmed in time.

Additionally, the heat transfer of the cooling fluid will be affected by the fouling in the cooling system, when the fouling is accumulated in the sand or oil. The fouling in the cooling system will increase if the poor quality coolant or water is added, and the heat transfer capacity of the fouling is only one-tenth of that of the metal, thus the cooling effect will be worse.

5. Operator standard operation
Because the temperature is high and the operation staff of the diesel generator set are relatively few, at this time, when operating the diesel generator set in the generator room, we must pay attention to safety in order to prevent the water in the water tank of the diesel generator set from opening the pot because of the high temperature. It is possible that water will splatter and hurt people everywhere.

Components of Cummins PT Fuel System

When it comes to Cummins generator, it is well known that the gensets have good quality, low fuel consumption, low noise, big output power and reliable performance. The reliable stability, economy, power performance, durability and environmental safety is welcomed by customers. In last article, we talk about CCEC Cummins diesel engines operating principles. Well, in this article, you will learn what are the major components of its PT Fuel System. Fuel System The PT fuel system is used exclusively on Cummins Diesels. The identifying letters, “ PT ” are an abbreviation for “ pressure-time ” . The operation of the Cummins PT Fuel System is based on the principle that the volume of liquid flow is proportionate to the fluid pressure, the time allowed to flow and the passage size through which the liquid flows. To apply this simple principle to the Cummins PT Fuel System , it is necessary to provide: 1. A fuel pump. 2. A means of controlling pressure of

Leroy-Somer Alternator AVR R450

1 - GENERAL INFORMATION of Leroy-Somer Alternator AVR R450 1.1 - Description The R450 AVR is supplied in a casing designed to be mounted on a panel with dampers. - Operating temperature: - 30°C to + 65°C. - Storage temperature: - 55°C to + 85°C. - Shocks on the base: 9 g depending on the 3 axes. - Vibrations: less than 10 Hz, 2 mm half-peak amplitude 10 Hz to 100 Hz: 100 mm/s, above 100 Hz: 8 g. The AVR is IP00, it must be incorporated in an environment which ensures it a IP20 protection. 1.2 - Characteristic The connection is realised by “Faston” connectors and the voltage sensing is single - phase. 2 - POWER SUPPLY Both the SHUNT/AREP & PMG excitation systems are controlled by the AVR. 2.1 - AREP excitation system With AREP excitation, the electronic AVR is powered by two auxiliary windings which are independent of the voltage sensing circuit. The first winding has a voltage proportional to the   alternator   main voltage (Shunt characteristic),
