When diesel generator sets operate in high-altitude regions, their performance is significantly affected by environmental characteristics such as thin air, reduced atmospheric pressure, and large temperature variations. To adapt to these special conditions, comprehensive adjustments are required in design, configuration, maintenance, and operation. The specific adaptation measures and their principles are as follows: 1. Diesel generator intake system optimization: Compensating for thin air Turbocharging technology: At high altitudes, the decrease in air density leads to insufficient intake air and incomplete combustion. Turbochargers compress the intake air, increasing its density and ensuring the engine receives adequate oxygen, partially offsetting the power loss associated with rising altitude. For example, power decreases by approximately 8%–12% for every 1,000 meters of altitude gain. Intercooler configuration: After turbocharging, the air temperature rises, causing it to expand a...
