Hospital diesel generators are an important backup power source in hospital electrical systems. Their main function is to provide stable and uninterrupted electricity to critical hospital facilities and medical equipment when the main power supply is interrupted.
 
I.  Characteristics of Hospital Diesel Generators
Hospital diesel generators are the core backup power source, featuring fast startup, stable operation, and high reliability. They are specifically designed to ensure uninterrupted power supply to critical areas such as operating rooms and are usually equipped with noise reduction and environmental protection measures.
 
II. Huaquan Power is a professional hospital diesel generator manufacturer in China.
Huaquan Power Company was established in 2010. The company's industries involve power generation equipment, new energy storage equipment, high and low voltage complete sets of equipment, power engineering, and other fields, and it has developed three major brands: "HQ-POWER," "HUAQUAN," and "Huaquan." Currently, the company has grown into a strong global brand in the power industry, with cumulative global sales exceeding 1 million units.
 
III. Advantages of Hospital Diesel Generators
1. Reliable: Hospital diesel generators have a robust structure and stable fuel supply, ensuring continuous power for critical loads such as operating rooms and ICUs during a power outage.
2. High Power: With high torque, they can easily handle the high inrush currents of equipment like MRI and CT machines, supporting long periods of full-load operation.
3. Fast Switching: When equipped with an ATS, hospital diesel generators can automatically start and supply power within 10-15 seconds, achieving seamless transition.
4. Economical and Durable: High fuel efficiency, low operating costs, and long service life make them suitable for different scales and environmental requirements.
5. Safe and Compliant: With quiet operation, environmentally friendly emissions, and multiple intelligent protection features, hospital diesel generators meet strict hospital standards.
 
Precautions for Storing Hospital Diesel Generators 
IV. Environmental Requirements for Storing Hospital Diesel Generators 
The storage environment for hospital diesel generators should be dry, well-ventilated, and clean, while avoiding drastic temperature changes. The generators must be placed indoors or in a location with an enclosed housing to prevent rain, snow, dust, and animal intrusion. Additionally, the storage area should be kept away from flammable, explosive, and corrosive materials, and it is recommended to equip the area with a fire extinguisher.
 
V. Equipment Handling Before Storing Hospital Diesel Generators
Depending on the expected storage duration of the hospital diesel generator, the handling methods vary:
1. Drain Fuel and Coolant: Whether storing short-term or long-term, diesel in the fuel tank and coolant in the engine cooling system should be drained to prevent corrosion and freezing. In extremely cold regions, the use of antifreeze is necessary.
2. Rust Prevention Maintenance: For hospital diesel generators intended for long-term storage, more comprehensive maintenance is required. This includes replacing with new lubricating oil, draining oil from the filters, and injecting a suitable amount of oil into each cylinder before rotating the crankshaft to distribute the oil evenly, protecting the cylinder walls. Additionally, the interior of the diesel generator should be cleaned with compressed air, desiccants placed inside, and all intake and exhaust ports, as well as ventilation openings, sealed with oiled paper or thick paper. Metal surfaces should be cleaned and coated with grease for rust prevention.
3. Battery Maintenance: If the starting battery of the hospital diesel generator has been filled with electrolyte, it should be charged regularly to prevent damage from power loss.
 
VI. Regular Maintenance of Hospital Diesel Generators During Storage
During storage, regular maintenance must be carried out to keep the hospital diesel generator in good condition:
1. Periodically rotate the crankshaft: For short-term storage, the crankshaft should be turned periodically; for long-term storage, the crankshaft should be rotated 1 to 2 times per month, with the piston positioned at top dead center after each rotation to change the relative positions of internal engine parts and prevent rust.
2. Comprehensive inspection: Before the hospital diesel generator is put back into service, a thorough inspection must be conducted, including checking whether the electrical components are oxidized, whether connectors are loose, whether coils are dry, etc., and addressing any issues found.
 
VII. Q&A on Knowledge Related to Hospital Diesel Generators
1. Are there any special requirements for hospital diesel generator rooms?
The room must be kept clean with no loose sand on the floor to prevent the diesel engine from sucking in dirty air, which could reduce power, or the generator from sucking in impurities, which could damage insulation. Additionally, the space must have good air circulation to ensure the diesel engine can intake air properly and the generator can dissipate heat efficiently.
2. How do you determine the required power of a hospital diesel generator?
You need to calculate the total starting power of all critical medical equipment and leave enough margin. Typically, the economic operating power of the generator is about 75% of its rated power.
3. Which parameters should be monitored while a hospital diesel generator is running?
Monitor oil pressure, coolant temperature, output voltage, frequency, current, and exhaust color. Clean exhaust indicates normal operation.
 
VIII. Application Areas of Hospital Diesel Generators
1. Power Supply for Core Medical Areas: Hospital diesel generators provide uninterrupted power to life-support equipment and surgical lighting in operating rooms and emergency rooms.
2. Ensuring Safety: They supply power to critical facilities such as fire protection systems, elevators, emergency lighting, and central oxygen, ensuring building safety and basic operations.
3. Maintaining Diagnosis and Treatment: Hospital diesel generators provide backup power for large diagnostic equipment, as well as refrigeration equipment in laboratories and pharmacies, preventing interruptions in treatment and the spoilage of medicines and reagents.
4. Supporting Information Systems: They ensure the power supply for hospital information systems, electronic medical records, and internal communication networks, maintaining the integrity of medical data and smooth command operations.
 
The core application of hospital diesel generators is as an emergency power source to safeguard life, ensuring that critical medical activities are not affected during power outages. Users should select suitable hospital diesel generators according to specific operational needs.
