Diesel Generator Tech

With the progress of social development, many devices rely on electricity to operate. A power outage would undoubtedly have a significant impact on numerous enterprises. As a result, the demand for emergency and backup power sources has become increasingly widespread. However, as a complex and large - scale generator equipment, the post - use maintenance of diesel generator sets poses a challenge for many non - professional staff. Therefore, the Generator Knowledge Classroom of Dingbo Power is sharing knowledge about diesel storage tanks and diesel storage today to help everyone use diesel generator sets with ease. 1.Advantages and Disadvantages of Diesel Storage Tanks （1） Iron Storage Tanks Material: Generally made of steel plates about 3mm thick. Advantages: They are not prone to deformation over the long term. Disadvantages: They will rust after about three years of use. （2） Stainless - Steel Storage Tanks Material: Usually made of 304 stainless - steel plates about 1.2mm thi...

Diesel generators provide a reliable source of power to your facility or business during an emergency situation when the mains power fails or in places without connection to a power grid. To ensure your generator works smoothly when needed, it’s necessary to perform a load bank test periodically. In this article, we’ll cover what you need to know about diesel generator load bank testing. What is the load bank testing of a diesel generator? Diesel generator load bank testing is an essential part of a comprehensive preventative generator maintenance routine. This task involves using a load bank to put artificial loads on the generator to test the Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) and generator under load conditions. During the test, all parameters are monitored and documented and the information about the specific generator tested will be showed in the load bank test report. With the report, you will see a clear picture of the overall health of the emergency stand-by power system. Wi...

Diesel generators sets are a smart choice for backup power needs during power outages due to their reliability, durability and efficiency. They can also be used in remote sites where the power grid might be unreliable. However, standby diesel gensets could create safety hazards if not installed correctly. Here are some diesel generator room requirements and design considerations to keep in mind when installing and operating your generator. Where should a diesel generator be placed? Generator exhaust contains carbon monoxide gas, which can cause unconsciousness or death. Therefore, the installation location of generators is essential. The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) has a standard for the installation and use of stationary combustion engines. Per NFPA 37, an enclosed generator set should be located outdoors, at least 5 feet from openings in walls and at least 5 feet from structures having combustible walls. Generators positioned outside the building shall be located in...

How to protect the diesel generator sets installed outside from bad weather, theft or vandalism? What if the noise produced by the generators disrupt the residents around? Many customers are concerned about such problems when buying a power generator. A canopy can be the solution! In this article, we’ll introduce some information about diesel generator canopy. What is a diesel generator canopy? A diesel generator canopy (or enclosure) is a protective structure that can protect a power generator from external environmental factors such as dust, raindrop, snow, sunburn and other particles that are harmful to the generator & its components. Usually, a canopy is a metal box with a proper ventilation system. Canopies are made up of thick metal sheets, which reduce the noise of the generator and help in observing the heat of the generator. Diesel generators with a canopy are referred to as canopy unit, silent unit, soundproof unit or weatherproof unit. Read more about: How Does a Cano...

 In high humidity environments, diesel generators’ performance, reliability and lifespan can be significantly affected. Humidity will not only cause electrical components to be damp, but also may accelerate the corrosion of metal components, affecting the overall performance of the unit. Therefore, it’s important to choose the right diesel generators that need to operate in high humid climates. The bad influence of humid environments on diesel generators Reduced insulation performance: In a humid environment, the electrical components inside a diesel generator are susceptible to moisture, resulting in reduced insulation resistance and bad electrical performance. This may not only cause short circuit and electric leakage, but also pose a serious threat to the stable operation of the unit. Corrosion of metal parts: A high humidity environment will accelerate the corrosion of metal components, such as terminals, bolts and nuts, in the generator set. The corrosion not only reduces t...
