Pay Attention to Ventilation when Installing Cummins Diesel Generators

 Cummins diesel generators will generate a lot of heat during operation. If ventilation and heat dissipation are not done properly, the generator set may be damaged or even cause major equipment failures. Therefore, users must pay attention to the ventilation and heat dissipation problems of the unit during installation. Specific requirements are as follows:

1. When installing the Cummins diesel generator set, the radiator should be as close to the air outlet as possible to avoid the recirculation of hot air. When there is no air duct, it is recommended that the distance between the radiator and the air outlet should not exceed 150 mm. If the equipment room cannot meet the above requirements, the corresponding air duct should be installed.

2. The area of the exhaust port should be 1.5 times the exhaust area of the radiator. Under normal circumstances, it is necessary to cooperate with the radiator to install the air duct and the exhaust shutter. The bend of the air duct should go through the appropriate elbow, and the pipe should be enlarged to reduce the exhaust back pressure if the pipe is too long. Long-spaced duct mufflers should be specially planned according to the characteristics of the building.

3. The air inlet and outlet of the computer room are generally equipped with louvers and mesh grilles. When calculating the size of the tuyere, the effective ventilation area of the louvers and mesh grills should be considered. Units require a lot of air for combustion and cooling, which is often overlooked.


 4. It is recommended that the total area of the air inlet should be at least twice the area of the radiator of the unit, all air outlets should be able to prevent the entry of rainwater. In areas with cold climates, adjustable shutters can be installed at the inlet and exhaust ports of the standby and low-running generator sets, and the shutters can be closed when the unit is not running.

The above are the ventilation and heat dissipation issues that should be paid attention to when installing Cummins diesel generators introduced by Jiangsu Starlight Electricity Equipments Co.,Ltd.. Even in the cold winter, users should not ignore this problem.

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...
