Water cooling method for 1300kw Cummins Generators


When we use 1300kw Cummins diesel generator, we need to do some work to cool down it and generator room. There are water cooling and air cooling methods. Today Starlight power factory mainly talks about water cooling station.


When the water source is sufficient and the water temperature is low, the cooling mode of the power station should be water-cooled, that means using water as refrigerant to cool the air in the generator room of diesel generating sets. The conditions for designing water-cooled power stations are that there should be sufficient natural water sources, such as well water, spring water, River water, lake water or other available water sources, good water quality, non-toxic, tasteless, non-pathogenic bacteria, non-corrosive to metals, and the contents of inorganic and organic substances such as sediment in water should meet the standards.


If water-cooled, the temperature should be low. The difference between the room temperature of diesel generator set and that of water-cooled water should be greater than 15 degrees Celsius, and generally not less than 10 degrees Celsius. If the water temperature is high, the temperature difference between the return air and the supply air is small and the air supply system is large, so the construction investment and operation cost must be increased.

Compared with other cooling modes, the advantages of water-cooled power station are that the air intake and exhaust volume are smaller, so the air intake and exhaust pipes are smaller. Water-cooled power station is less affected by the external atmospheric temperature of the project, and can ensure the air cooling of the generator room in any season. The disadvantage is that the water consumption is large and limited by the water source conditions. When there is no sufficient low-temperature water source in the project, the cooling method can not be adopted.

The cooling mode of water-cooled power station can adopt the sprinkler cooling mode, also called water-washed air. Because the hot air in the machine room is directly in contact with the water droplets, the cooling and heat exchange effect is better. At the same time, the harmful dust in the machine room can be washed by the water to make it clean.

Surface cooling can also be used in water-cooled power plants, that means the hot air in the generator room exchanges heat with the cooling water on the surface of the metal cooler. The advantage of this cooling method is flexible cooling system, which can be configured according to the need, and does not occupy or occupy less the area of diesel generator room. For example, some diesel generating units with closed cycle cooling are equipped with head radiators, which can not be used in the closed power plant room. The cooling water of diesel engine can be changed into an open system, and cooling water is introduced into the head radiator to reduce the temperature of the engine room and eliminate the waste heat of the power plant.

Starlight manufacturer was set up in 1974. We focus on high quality diesel generator set. Brands cover Cummins, Volvo, Perkins, Deutz, Mtu, Yuchai, Shangchai, Wechai, Wuxi power, Ricardo etc. If you are interested, please contact sherly@dieselgeneratortech.com.

Yuchai Is Super Confident in Its Innovation

Founded in 1951, with 30 wholly-owned, holding and joint-stock subsidiaries, Guangxi Yuchai Machinery Group Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as the Yuchai Group) is an internal combustion engine manufacturing base with the most complete spectrum of products in the country. In recent years, machinery manufacturing industry has been dropped off influenced by domestic and foreign economic situations, especially domestic overcapacity and unreasonable product structure. Reversely, Yuchai has sold over 3 million engines with the annualized revenues amount to RMB 40 billion. Over the years, as China ’ s largest engine R&D manufacturing base, Yuchai adjusts and optimizes its industrial structure and constantly strengthens its capacity for independent innovation. Therefore, the key technology continues to be the top in the sector for further keeping its own top leader in the industry.

How to Read Alarm Codes From SmartGen Genset Controller

Auto Module Control Panel is the configuration for nobody on duty controlling generators. This kind of panel adopts auto module control system, with large LCD display to show the menu, such as SmartGen controller. Features:   1. SmartGen 6110 can receive remote output signal from ATS and realize auto start and stop of generators. 2. SmartGen 6310 can realize all functions of 6110, add RS232 interface which can communicate with PC to realize remote operation.  3. SmartGen 6410 Auto Mains Failure controller, can realize all functions of 6310, furthermore can detect  ATS and control directly. The alarm of diesel generator controller is not the amount of stop alarm, which does not affect the normal operation of diesel generator. When the alarm occurs, the unit will not stop, and when the alarm conditions do not exist, the amount of warning will automatically disappear.  Today Starlight manufacturer mainly shares alarm codes for diesel generato...

How Do You Check Diesel Consumption In The Diesel Generator Set?

  Diesel generator sets   are crucial assets in various industries, providing backup power during outages or serving as primary power sources in remote locations. With fuel costs being a significant operational expense, monitoring diesel consumption becomes essential for efficiency and cost-effectiveness. Here's a comprehensive guide on how to effectively check diesel consumption in a generator set. Understanding Diesel Consumption Metrics Before delving into the monitoring process, it's crucial to grasp the key metrics associated with diesel consumption: Fuel Consumption Rate: This indicates the rate at which diesel is being consumed by the generator set, typically measured in liters per hour (L/hr) or gallons per hour (GPH). Load Factor: The percentage of the generator's maximum capacity being utilized at any given time. It directly influences fuel consumption, with higher loads resulting in increased fuel usage. Fuel Efficiency: A measure of how effectively the generator...
