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 (...

Baudouan Weichai 1530KW Diesel Generator Set 16M33 Series Engine

Weichai is the earliest enterprise in China to develop and produce generator sets, with a production history of over 60 years. It mainly produces land - based and marine generator sets, including diesel - type and gas - type units. Weichai's M33 series engines include 6M33, 12M33, and 16M33 diesel engines. These are high - power high - speed diesel engines independently developed by Weichai based on the mature product platform of Baudouin's M26 series in France. The development of this series of models fills the gap in Weichai's high - speed diesel engines for power generation in the 500 - 1530kW power range, enabling effective competition with foreign brands. The M33 series Weichai engines inherit and carry forward the advanced product development and design concepts of the French Baudouin M26. They are benchmarked against international advanced engines, effectively avoiding various design defects. The product development emphasizes high reliability and low emissions. Th...

How to Connect A Diesel Generator to Your House?

Diesel generators are fuel-efficient and reliable, which can almost meet the power needs of any application. If you want to power the whole house during power shortages, it’s a good choice to choose a diesel generator set as the backup electricity supply. But how to connect a diesel generator to your house? Read on and you will find the answer. Options to connect a diesel generator to your home   Keep in mind that never plug your generator directly into the mains, or it will cause back feeding, damage your appliances and be life-threatening for utility workers. Generally, you can choose to connect a generator to your house by using extension cords or a transfer switch. Understanding the difference between them is helpful for you to choose the right type. Extension cords   Typically, extension cords are suitable for smaller diesel generators that used for short term. They require no installation and are cost-effective. If you need to power only some basic appliances such as...
