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.

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...

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...
