Whether diesel generator sets are used as backup power generation equipment or as the main power generation equipment in engineering buildings, strict adherence to rules and regulations is required from installation to use to avoid various faults and accidents caused by human factors. If there is any carelessness, it will not only cause economic losses, but also serious personal safety accidents. Below is a list of precautions for the use and installation of diesel generator sets, hoping to help everyone.

1、 Lifting during installation

When lifting or moving equipment, do not use equipment that can only be lifted barely. To accurately select the center of gravity of the equipment, prevent the generator set from swinging when lifting the equipment. Ensure that the supporting structure is sufficient to support the strength of the equipment. If this point is ignored, it may cause equipment damage or even more serious consequences.

2、 Installation location

1. The installation site should have good ventilation, with sufficient air inlet at the generator end and good air outlet at the diesel engine end. The area of the air outlet should be more than 1.5 times the area of the water tank.

2. The surrounding area of the installation site should be kept clean and avoid placing items that can produce corrosive gases and vapors such as acid and alkali nearby. If conditions permit, fire extinguishing devices should be installed.

3. When used indoors, smoke exhaust pipes must be connected to the outside, with a diameter greater than the exhaust pipe diameter of the muffler. The number of bends in the connected pipes should not exceed 3 to ensure smooth smoke exhaust. The pipes should be tilted downwards by 5-10 degrees to prevent rainwater from entering; If the exhaust pipe is installed vertically upwards, a rain cover must be installed.

4. When the foundation is made of concrete, its levelness must be measured with a spirit level during installation to fix the unit on a horizontal foundation. There should be dedicated shock-absorbing pads or anchor bolts between the unit and the foundation.

5. The casing of the unit must have reliable protective grounding. For generators that require direct grounding of the neutral point, neutral grounding must be carried out by professional personnel and equipped with lightning protection devices. It is strictly prohibited to use the grounding device of the mains for direct grounding of the neutral point.

6. The bidirectional switch between the generator and the mains must be very reliable. To prevent reverse power transmission. The reliability of the wiring of the bidirectional switch needs to be inspected and approved by the local power supply department.

3、 Ventilation requirements for diesel generator sets

1. To ensure good ventilation in the unit placement area, combustible gases evaporated from fuel should be promptly discharged. When maintaining or connecting the circuit system, ensure that the main switch is in the off position and disconnect the negative terminal of the battery or remove the fuse in the DC circuit. The unit can only be cleaned or maintained when the engine is turned off. If the engine is in a protected shutdown state, the cause of the shutdown must be identified and corrected before restarting.

2. The exhaust gas emitted by the engine contains toxic, colorless and odorless carbon monoxide. Ensure that the external exhaust pipe is straight and not close to the intake vent. In order to reduce exhaust back pressure, the exhaust pipe diameter can be increased, and joints and bends should be used as little as possible to reduce back pressure. The computer room should have good ventilation to meet the requirements of the engine cooling system.
