The water tank of a diesel generator set, also known as a radiator, is the main component in the cooling system of a diesel generator set; The water tank is an important component of a water-cooled engine, and as an important component of the cooling circuit of a water-cooled engine, it can absorb the heat from the cylinder block. The scale inside the water tank of a diesel generator set is mainly caused by improper use of the generator cooling system, which can have serious consequences on the operation of the generator set. In order to ensure the heat dissipation performance of the cooling system, ensure the normal operation of the diesel engine, and increase its usage time, dirt should be cleaned in a timely manner.
Some users do not add coolant or steam storage water, but directly add hard water, resulting in calcium and magnesium ions in hard water forming scale with inorganic salts in the coolant. Silicone scale comes from silicates in the coolant of unmanned aircraft. Metal scale is mainly composed of iron scale and solder scale. Some are protective films formed by the reaction between inorganic salts in the coolant of ordinary drones and iron metals on the cylinder body due to consumption and detachment, while the latter is a fluffy precipitate formed by strong oxidizing inorganic salt corrosion inhibitors that exacerbate solder "blooming".
To prevent high temperatures in the engine, due to the large specific heat capacity of water, the temperature does not increase much after absorbing heat from the cylinder block. Therefore, the heat of the engine is transmitted through the liquid circuit of cooling water, using water as a heat carrier for heat transfer, and then dissipated by convection through large-area heat sinks to maintain the appropriate operating temperature of the engine.
After the diesel engine starts, the temperature inside the diesel generator immediately rises. If cooling water is only added at this time, the cylinder block and cylinder head will suddenly cool and crack due to cold shrinkage. We all understand that adding tap water to the engine can cause scale, which can cause significant damage to the engine. Scale adheres to the surface of the water tank and cylinder head, making it difficult to clean and corroding the cylinder body. The most serious issue is that it may block the water pipe, affecting heat dissipation, leading to high engine temperatures and even cylinder explosions.
After a cylinder burst, the engine is basically scrapped. Even if it can be repaired, it is difficult for the repaired engine to return to its original operating conditions. Therefore, when using a diesel generator set, whether the set is in operation or just stopped, do not let it suddenly cool down, which is the fundamental cause of cylinder burst.
