Transportation, Installation and Ventilation of Diesel Power Generator


Transportation of diesel power generator

The foundation of electric generating set is designed especially for the convenient transportation. Incorrect transportation will cause serious damage to the  components of the set. Forklift can be applied for lifting the electric generating set or push or pull the set by putting forth effort on the underframe. If push, do not use fork push machine directly but shall put some wood between the fork and generator bracket for preventing damage to the generator bracket and weight disperse. If the electric generating set needs to be moved frequently, “oil-filled slide” can be installed on the generator bracket which will provide the forklift with groove and suspension. Small types are already equipped with groove for forklift on the underframe.




It is forbidden to lift the electric generating set by the rings of engine or alternator.
Examine whether the lifting device and supporting are in good condition and whether the load capacity of hanging equipment is appropriate.

Nobody is allowed to stand near when the machine is lifted up. If want to lift up the electric  generating set, it shall install a single-point suspension apparatus which is already equipped by the standard machine with canopy. If lift up the electric generating set for the purpose of installation, the lifting eyes on the underframe are designed for hoisting the set. After finishing the connection, check whether it is hung tightly, whether there’s any split on the weld, whether the screws are screwed tightly, etc. A crossbar is needed to prevent the damage to the machine. Make sure that the suspension shall lie in the center of gravity (near to the generator) rather than the center of the whole machine, so that the whole machine can be lifted up. Guard rope is required to prevent the sire cable from twist together or prevent the machine from swing once the machine left the ground. It is better not to lift up the machine in strong wind. The machine shall be put on flat place where can bear the set weight when laying down the machine.

Installation position

It is critical important to choose a good place for installation of electric generating set among  all steps. The following  factors are critical  for selecting  the site for installation.

Sufficient ventilation

Protect the components from rain, snow, hailstone, flood, direct sunlight, freezing temperature or Do not expose the machine in the polluted air, such as grinding dust, metal dust, fiber tow, smoke, lampblack, vapor, acid, alkaline and corrosive gas, smog discharged by the engine, or other pollution.

Do not install the electric generating set on a place where trees and electric poles fall down or place where can be pressed by the materials from the cars and hoists.

A certain space must be left surround the generator for the purpose of cooling and convenient maintenance. It is not allowed to put other material at least one meter away from the set and 2 meters above the set.

A passage for the whole set to the installation room must be left and pipe for air passage shall be easy for assemble and unassembled, serving as convenient carrying port.

Non-management staff are forbidden to enter into the generator room If it is necessary to install the electric generating set outside the building, it needs  to be equipped with weather proof casing or  container type casing, which is of  significant importance to the diesel power generator that needs to be installed inside or outside the building temporarily.

What Is the Difference Between Electric Motor and Electric Generator

An electric motor is an electrical machine that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. Most electric motors operate through the interaction between the motor's magnetic field and winding currents to generate force. In certain applications, such as in regenerative braking with traction motors, electric motors can be used in reverse as generators to recover energy that might otherwise be lost as heat and friction. An electric generator operates in the reverse direction, converting mechanical energy into electrical energy. Electric generator can be divided into various type, open type, silent type, trailer type, portable type and container type, etc. Electric generator is mainly composed of diesel engine & alternator. Electric generator set is mainly composed of engine, alternator, control module, and common base. Electric generator :- Electric generator is a type of machine which converts mechanical input (energy) into electrical output (...

Perkins Powerful 4000 Series Engine at Middle East Electricity

The Perkins team returns to Middle East Electricity (MEE) in 2017 to promote the full range of its diesel and gas electric power engines. Taking pride of place is the 4000 Series platform, which is designed to provide prime or standby power in critical applications. The evolution of the Perkins 4000 Series The steady evolution of the powerful 4000 Series has taken place over a number of years, thanks to significant investment from Perkins. Its development means the engine is used for prime and standby applications by original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and end-users. The 4000 Series is tough and durable, provides consistent performance in the harshest conditions, and is proving to be a constant, reliable electric power source for prime applications all over the world. Perkins sells hundreds of 4000 Series engines every year into the prime power market. It has built more than 50,000 4000 Series engines for some of the world’s biggest businesses, and up to 30 pe...

Engine Fault Code Messages - Volvo Penta Engine

Volvo Penta Engine Fault Code When a malfunction has occurred and the diagnostic system has generated one or more fault codes, these are read out differently depending on the equipment used. Please refer to “Fault code messages”. If the system indicates that a fault code has been set: 1 Cut engine speed to idle, or shut the Volvo engine off. 2 For DCU/DU Read the fault code from the display, please refer to Reading fault codes via the DCU or Reading fault codes via the DU. For CIU press the diagnostic button and read the fault code, by observing the flashing of the diagnostic lamp. Refer to Reading fault codes via the diagnostic lamp, CIU. 3 Look up the fault code in the Fault Code Register chapter and take the recommended measures. Reading fault codes via the DU (Display Unit) Depending on the severity of the fault the text, either WARNING! or ALARM STOP (a buzzer sounds) will be shown on the display 1 Press any button to come to the fault list. The f...
