Main Points of Diesel Generating Room Design

The principle of layout and installation of diesel generator set room is to ensure that the generator set (including diesel engine, generator and control panel) can work normally, and it is easy to use, operate and maintain. The following descriptions are for reference only. The user of the specific plan should consider the actual use of the unit and the model selected. The user can ask the relevant technical personnel to design the layout of the machine room and implement the construction.


 

The following matters should be paid attention to when designing the engine room of the diesel generator set:

1) If possible, the diesel generator set and the control panel should be placed separately, the control panel should be placed in the operation room with sound insulation facilities, and there is an observation window so that the operator can keep abreast of the operation status of the unit in time.

2) When installing the exhaust muffler, the exhaust port should be placed outdoors, the exhaust lead pipe should not be too long, and the surface of the exhaust pipe should be wrapped with thermal insulation material if possible to reduce heat dissipation to the room.

3) There should be good ventilation conditions in the computer room, especially there must be sufficient fresh air around the air filter, and items that produce corrosive gases such as acid gas are not allowed in the computer room.

4) The computer room of the closed unit generally does not need forced ventilation. The fan of the unit can be used to exhaust air to the outside to promote the air convection in the computer room, but the corresponding air inlet and outlet must be set up. The machine room of the open-type unit adopts forced ventilation if necessary, but the air inlet must be low, and the exhaust fan should be installed in the machine room to make the high-temperature air flow out of the room in time.

5) In addition to the ventilation requirements for the installation of diesel generator sets, the engine room should consider the requirements of lightning protection, sound insulation, vibration isolation, fire protection, safety, environmental protection, lighting, and sewage discharge.

6) The fuel pipelines and cables should be laid in the grooves or trenches as much as possible, and the cables can also be laid in the wire pipes. Daily fuel tanks can be placed indoors, but should meet the requirements.

7) There should be a space distance of 0.8~1.0m around the diesel generator set, and no other items should be placed to facilitate the inspection and maintenance of the operator. The size of the engine room is shown in the table below for reference.

8) The machine room should adopt comprehensive control measures for unit noise reduction and machine room sound insulation.

Starlight Power was founded in 1974 and is one of the earliest manufacturers of generators and diesel generator sets in China. If you want get more information, please feel free to send email to sales@dieselgeneratortech.com we will pay highly attention on your question.

Diesel Generator Power Ratings: Standby vs Prime vs Continuous

Diesel generator sets are commonly used in a variety of sectors due to their dependable performance and high efficiency. They can be used for emergency power supply in the event of a power cut or used in places without connection to a power grid. When selecting a diesel generator for your home or business, you need to consider many factors, such as generator’s ratings. In this article, we’ll explain the three basic rating types - standby, prime, and continuous in diesel generators. ISO-8528-1:2018 defines basic generator set rating categories based on four operational categories: Emergency Standby Power (ESP), Prime Power (PRP), Continuous Power (COP) and Limited-Time Running Prime (LTP). Read on and learn the application of power ratings for engines used in generating sets. Standby Power Rating Standby Power(ESP) is used to supply emergency power when the external power supply is interrupted, such as power outages. Standby power rated generators can supply reliable electricity as t...

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...

What Should You Pay Attention to in Routine Maintenance of Diesel Generator Sets

In modern society, the stability of power supply is directly related to the operation efficiency of enterprises and people's quality of life. Diesel generators have become an indispensable backup power supply or main power source in various industries due to their high efficiency, durability and reliability. However, to ensure the smooth operation and optimal performance of the generator sets, regular maintenance is essential. Here is what you need to pay attention to in the routine maintenance of diesel generators. Keep your generator clean It’s important to keep the generator’s exterior and the generator room clean. Regularly remove any dirt, dust, or debris that may accumulate to on the generator’s surface. This is not only for the sake of beauty, but also for the smooth operation of the unit. Cleaning the generator’s exterior, air intake vents, exhaust outlets and generator room can effectively reduce the risk of generator overheating. In addition, check if the connection bol...
