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.

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. The f

Types of Diesel Engine and Application of Diesel Generator

This article will guide you to learn diesel engine types and important role of diesel generator. If you are interested, please keep reading. What Are Diesel Engines? A type of internal combustion engine more accurately known as a compression ignition engine is designed to provide power by compressing the fuel at high temperature and significant pressure until it ignites. Diesel engines are either two-stroke or four-stroke . ‘Stroke’ means the movement of the piston in the engine. Two-stroke This engine uses one stroke in each direction. The first stroke being compression, which results in the ignition of the compressed fuel. The return stroke brings new fuel into the cylinder. Four-stroke This engine has one compression stroke and one exhaust stroke and each one of those has a return stroke – hence, four-stroke. The compression stroke compresses the fuel/air mixture prior to ignition. The exhaust stroke pushes the burnt gases out the exhaust. The
