Things to be aware of when using diesel generators in the field

The routine maintenance and correct operation of the diesel generator set during field construction is an important measure to extend the service life of the unit and reduce the failure.

The selection of the generator set for field construction should pay attention to the choice of unit brand and configuration. Pay attention to the use environment of the field construction generator set, pay attention to the outdoor use position, and do not use the generator set near the inflammable and explosive materials. The generator set should be placed in a dry place. If it needs to be installed in the open air, it must be covered with a canopy structure to prevent electric shock due to moisture. The field construction generator set should be placed in a well-ventilated place outside the room or in the machine room. It should not be close to doors, windows and vents to prevent carbon monoxide from entering the room. What else should you pay attention to?

When using an elongated wire, make sure it is well insulated from the ground. The specifications of the outdoor line must meet the requirements of the electrical load used. It is not possible to directly plug the outlet of the field construction generator set into the original power outlet of the house, which will generate feedback, which may cause an electric shock accident to the user who is powered by the same transformer. It is convenient to enter and exit the line, the surrounding roads are smooth and avoid the leeward side of the pollution source and the place where water is easy to accumulate.

The quality of diesel is directly related to whether the diesel engine can operate normally. If poor quality diesel is used, on the one hand, the diesel engine power will be reduced due to poor combustion, and the power will be insufficient . On the other hand, if it is used for a long time , it will accelerate the wear of various parts of the fuel system and reduce the service life of the diesel engine. Therefore, it is necessary to use diesel oil of good quality and suitable grade. The type of fuel used should be as specified in the generator's instruction manual or label. If other fuels are present in the diesel fuel, the combustion performance will be significantly deteriorated, resulting in difficulty in starting or even starting. Other fuel entering the cylinder will also flush the cylinder lubricant film to accelerate the wear of the cylinder. The fuel for the construction of the generators in the field shall be stored in a dedicated warehouse, and the facilities in the warehouse shall comply with the regulations of the fire department. Before adding fuel, the generator set should be turned off and added after the generator set is cooled to prevent the fuel from splashing on the higher temperature parts and catch fire, causing disaster. Before using the oil drum to fill the diesel oil, it must be fully precipitated and the precipitation time is more than 3 days. When refueling, it should be carefully filtered to prevent the incorporation of mechanical impurities. The oil storage container and the refueling tool should also be kept clean during operation.

Not only the use of generator sets in the field should be noted, but also the use of generator sets in other environments should also pay attention to some matters according to the specific environment, in order to better use diesel generator sets.
