Diesel Generator Set Coolant Usage Details Part 2

The previous article has already shared with you the four major details that need to be paid attention to during the use of diesel generator coolant: selecting clean soft water, not starting without cooling water, not letting the generator set discharge water at high temperatures, and "boiling" to prevent burns. In this article, Dingbo Power Equipment will continue to share with you other details about the use of diesel generator coolant.

1. The water discharge is about to be completed, and the diesel engine will rotate several times in time and space


When the cooling water stops flowing out, it indicates that the drainage work is about to be completed. The diesel engine starting motor should be used to idle the diesel generator set for a few revolutions, so that the remaining water inside and the water that is not easy to flow out can flow clean due to the vibration of the diesel engine. After the water is drained, the drain switch should be in an open position to prevent the cooling water from temporarily flowing out and causing unnecessary damage to the corresponding components of the diesel engine due to freezing.


2. Check if the water outlet is blocked


When discharging water, it is not advisable to turn on the drain switch and leave it unattended. Instead, it is important to carefully investigate the detailed condition of the water flow around the area, first checking whether the water flow is smooth and whether there is a phenomenon of decreasing or increasing or decreasing water flow. If these conditions occur, it indicates that the cooling water contains impurities that hinder the normal flow of water. The best way to do so is to remove the drain switch and allow the cooling water to flow directly out of the body. If it is found that the water flow is still not smooth, then hard and slender steel objects such as iron wire should be used for dredging at this time until the water flow is smooth.


3. Adding antifreeze in winter


In cold winter, some users may choose to drain the cooling water after the unit stops running and then add water before the next use to avoid freezing and cracking of the engine and radiator. If cold water is added before starting, it is easy to freeze in the water chamber and inlet pipe of the water tank during the water adding process or when the water cannot be started in a timely manner after adding, causing water to not circulate and even causing the radiator and cylinder to crack. Adding antifreeze can avoid the aforementioned freezing phenomenon as much as possible.


4. The antifreeze should be of high quality


At present, the quality of antifreeze on the market varies, with many being shoddy. If the antifreeze does not contain preservatives, it will seriously corrode the engine cylinder head, water jacket, radiator, water blocking ring, rubber parts and other components, and generate a large amount of scale, which will cause poor engine heat dissipation and cause overheating failure of the diesel generator set. Therefore, it is necessary to choose products from legitimate diesel generator manufacturers.

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...

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...
