As the hot summer approaches, electricity consumption in various industries will also reach new heights. Many enterprises have prepared diesel generators for emergency needs all year round, after all, during the peak electricity consumption period of summer, it is impossible to predict when sudden power outages or restrictions will occur. If you are considering configuring a diesel generator this summer and want to know what preparations to make, you can refer to the following points:
(1) Ensure that the diesel generator is installed in the correct position
It is crucial to ensure that the diesel generator is installed in the correct position. When purchasing a diesel generator, if you are unsure where to install it, you can consult the generator manufacturer, who will provide advice based on your actual situation. In summer, the place where the generator is installed should be clean, tidy, dustproof, sun proof, and well ventilated. The heat from the sun combined with poor airflow can cause the generator to overheat and malfunction.
(2) Ensure there is fuel on site
It is undeniable that ensuring sufficient fuel on site to power the generator when needed is always important. However, precisely because of this, many companies often store a large amount of fuel during winter and may not necessarily use it all. Therefore, as summer approaches, please take some time to check the fuel currently stored in diesel generators. For diesel, it may not last as long as you imagine, so please check the purchase date and ensure that it is not too old to be used in the summer.
(3) Accept professional maintenance and upkeep of diesel generators
All diesel generator customers should be aware that maintenance is essential and should ensure that they have access to any necessary regular repairs at all times. Don't assume that a diesel generator doesn't require maintenance just because you may not always be using it. Whether using diesel generators during winter power outages or not using them at all, professional generator maintenance and upkeep should be arranged before summer. Regular maintenance will be able to promptly identify minor issues with the generator, enabling timely troubleshooting.
(4) Regular startup
Generators, regardless of their size, should be started regularly. Just like a car, even if you don't need to drive it, you should occasionally start the engine and let it run. This is particularly important in summer, as the probability of power outages increases significantly and the uncertainty of power rationing is also high. Therefore, do not forget to start the generator regularly and ensure that it can still work properly, so that the generator can provide stable and reliable power supply in the event of a power outage.
