Due to structural constraints, the diesel generator set cannot be completely waterproof. When the rainy season/typhoon season comes, the diesel generator set may be affected by floods, rainstorm and other natural disasters. When water enters the diesel generator set, the user should take necessary measures in time to disconnect the external power supply and battery connection line. The engine should not be operated, nor should he try to turn the crankshaft. The engine should not be operated, Simultaneously check the water ingress in various parts.

1. Check if there is water discharged from the drainage components of the exhaust pipeline (the lowest point of the exhaust pipe or muffler).

2. Check if there is water accumulation in the air filter housing and if the filter element is soaked in water.

3. Check if there is water accumulation at the bottom of the generator casing.

4. Check for blockages in rotating components such as radiators, fans, and couplings.

5. Is there any leakage of oil, fuel, or water from the outside.

6. Remove the rocker arm compartment cover and observe for water ingress. Check the insulation/contamination of the generator winding.

7. Check the insulation of the control circuit and output circuit. Detect control panel modules, various instruments, alarm devices, and start switches.

Attention: Never allow water to enter the combustion chamber of the engine!

Treatment method for diesel generator set after water ingress:

When it is determined that there is no water entering the combustion chamber of the diesel generator set engine and the insulation meets the requirements, the diesel generator set can be started. Pay attention to the following issues during startup:

1. Perform all checks before starting, including draining any accumulated fuel tank water. Gradually power on the electrical system and observe for any abnormalities.

2. The time for continuously starting the engine shall not exceed 30 seconds. If the engine cannot catch fire, check the fuel pipelines and electrical circuits, and restart after one or two minutes.

3. Check if the engine sound is abnormal and if there is any odor. Check the display of electrical instruments and whether the LCD screen is broken or unclear.

4. Pay close attention to the oil pressure and water temperature. If the oil pressure or temperature does not meet the technical specifications, the engine should be shut down. After stopping the machine, check the oil level once.

When it is judged that the engine may have water ingress or the insulation of the generator does not meet the requirements, do not repair it without authorization. Seek the help of professional technical personnel from the generator manufacturer.
