How to Design Standby Generator Room?


Standby Generator Room Setting

1. Plane layout of the generator room

When selecting the plane position of the machine room, it should be adjacent to the power distribution room as much as possible, because it is convenient for wiring, reducing the loss of materials and electric energy, and also convenient for management. If conditions permit, the machine room should be located on the first floor, which is convenient for ventilation, heat dissipation and smoke exhaustion. However, in high-rise buildings and large and medium-sized commercial buildings, the first floor is usually used as a commercial room, and the owners generally do not agree with this plan, so the machine room is often located in the basement. At this time, the following points should be noted in selecting the location of the equipment room:



(1) The machine room should have one side against the outer wall, so that the equipment ventilation, smoke exhaust is easier to deal with;

(2) It should be noted that the lifting, handling and maintenance of the unit is convenient. Generally, the parking garage access channel is used as the handling channel. However, if the passage is too small, the position of the lifting hole should be considered;

(3) Should avoid the damp place, do not set it under the regular water supply place such as the toilet, bathroom, pool, etc. or next door, to avoid toilet maintenance or floor seepage affecting the operation of the unit.

2. Ventilation and heat dissipation of the unit

Diesel engine, generator and exhaust pipe dissipate heat during operation, which increases the temperature of the machine room. If the temperature rises to a certain extent, it will affect the output of the generator. Therefore, measures must be taken to ensure the cooling of the unit. In the case of sufficient air intake and exhaust ventilation, the closed-type water circulation and air-cooled integral unit is generally used. Otherwise, the exhaust fan and the heat-dissipating pipe can be separated from the unit, and placed outdoor, and the outdoor heat dissipation pipe is connected with the diesel engine by a water pipe.

3. Smoke exhaust

When designing the smoke exhaust pipe system, the following points should be noted:

(1) The smoke exhaust system can reduce the back pressure as much as possible, because the increase of exhaust gas resistance will lead to the decrease of diesel engine output and the increase of temperature rise. Therefore, the shorter and straighter the exhaust pipe, the better.

(2) The exhaust pipe should be insulated to reduce scald and reduce thermal radiation to raise the temperature of the machine room.

(3) A muffler should be provided to reduce noise.


4. Noise processing

The selected units in general civil buildings are high-speed units. The noise is relatively large. In order to meet the requirements of environmental protection, the damping material should be set in the equipment room and the noise reduction measures should be taken. Since the actual situation of each project is very different, when selecting an emergency diesel generator set, in addition to meeting the standard requirement, it should be set according to the actual situation to achieve satisfactory results.

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 (

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.
