The following precautions should be taken when using low-noise generator set in low-temperature environments. Matters such as body insulation, fuel selection and management, selection and inspection of antifreeze, etc. The following introduction is provided for users' reference.
1、 Low noise generator body insulation
Insulation measures: In winter, the temperature is low and the generator set is prone to overcooling, so insulation is the key to using the generator set well in winter. In northern regions, generator sets used in winter should be equipped with insulation sleeves and curtains to prevent cold.
Preheating system: If the generator set has a preheating system, it can be used to increase the temperature of the engine oil and coolant before starting, ensuring that the engine starts smoothly in a very short time.
2、 Fuel selection and management for low-noise generator sets
Choosing low pour point diesel: Low temperatures in winter can cause poor fluidity and increased viscosity of diesel, making it difficult to spray and resulting in poor atomization, leading to a decrease in the power and economic performance of the generator set. Therefore, light diesel with low pour point and good ignition performance should be selected.
Fuel management: Ensure sufficient fuel supply for low-noise generator sets to avoid fuel freezing or pollution. Regularly inspect the fuel system to ensure that the fuel filters are clean and prevent blockages.
3、 Selection and Inspection of Antifreeze for Low Noise Generator Sets
Use antifreeze: When the generator set is used in a low-temperature environment, antifreeze must be added. Antifreeze not only has antifreeze function, but also prevents internal corrosion and scaling of the generator set.
Check concentration: Regularly check the concentration of antifreeze to ensure it meets the specified requirements. Meanwhile, the use of untreated water as engine coolant is prohibited.
4、 Low noise generator set start-up and operation
Low temperature start-up: When starting the generator set under low temperature conditions, it should be run at low speed for 3-5 minutes to increase the overall temperature and check the working condition of the lubricating oil. After confirming everything is normal, put it back into normal operation.
Operation monitoring: During operation, close attention should be paid to the operation status of the generator set, including parameters such as voltage, current, frequency, etc. Once an abnormality is detected, the machine should be stopped immediately for inspection.
5、 Maintenance and upkeep of low-noise generator sets
Replacing filter element: Due to poor working conditions at low temperatures, air and diesel filter elements are prone to clogging. Therefore, the air filter and diesel filter should be replaced regularly to ensure the cleanliness of the intake and fuel of the generator set.
Maintain the hygiene of the computer room: Regularly clean the dust and debris in the computer room to maintain its cleanliness and smooth ventilation. This helps to reduce the operating noise of the generator set and prevent malfunctions from occurring.
Record maintenance status: Keep records of the maintenance or component replacement of low-noise generator sets to track their operating status and promptly identify potential issues.
6、 Safety precautions for low-noise generator sets
Operator training: Ensure that operators are familiar with the safe operating procedures and emergency shutdown steps of the generator set. Before operation, carefully read and understand the safety precautions and warnings of the generator set.
Set up warning signs: Set up safety warning signs around low-noise generator sets to alert operators and other personnel to potential dangers.
Personal protection: Operators should wear appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety goggles, protective shoes, and work clothes when performing maintenance or troubleshooting.
In summary, the use of low-noise generator sets in low-temperature environments requires attention to body insulation, fuel selection and management, antifreeze selection and inspection, start-up and operation, maintenance and upkeep, as well as safety precautions. These measures help ensure the stable operation and extended service life of the generator set in low-temperature environments.
