How to Ensure the Safety of Diesel Generator Maintenance

Dingbo generator company has been engaged in the maintenance of diesel generator sets for more than 20 years. As for the question of how to ensure its own safety, we can score the three elements of human, machine and natural environment. When a safety accident comes, there is no doubt that the accumulation of the above two elements will produce safety.

First, human factors.

For example, if you repair a device, under normal circumstances, there is no doubt that it will be powered off (locked) for maintenance. Take the key on the lock with you to avoid being hurt by someone else's wrong closing (operation error).

Risk standard 1: if you are lazy and keep electricity maintenance, the risk becomes greater. 

Risk criterion 2: as soon as others actually operate, the equipment moves or electricity comes, and you are injured. Therefore, we must enhance our crisis awareness and control risks! Reduce risk! Another is that in an anxious situation, it is very easy to make mistakes at work, so you must adjust your mood.

Second, the elements of things.

For example, when a mechanical equipment is designed, it does not take into account the safety factors, or it is not fully considered or defective, so it is very easy to have safety accidents in the application and maintenance in the middle and later stage.

Third, the elements of the natural environment.

You have been overhauling. The light source is dark, the indoor space is very narrow, and all normal overhauling elements such as small indoor space interval are very prone to safety accidents. The electrician of diesel generator shall learn the safety operation guide well, formulate strict punishment regulations for violation of regulations and make public announcements, and then be supervised by full-time personnel.

Diesel generator operators need to take necessary protective measures during work.

1) In order to prevent the operator from being scalded by the diesel generator, do not step on the diesel generator and remove the radiator cap. Suitable ladders shall be used.

2) When the diesel generator is shut down for cooling, the cooling system can be checked only after the unit is cooled.

3) Take special care when draining the lubricating oil of the unit. The lubricating oil may be very hot and may cause burns.

4) Before loosening or removing any pipes, connectors or related parts, it is necessary to relieve the pressure of air, oil, fuel or cooling system. Be careful when removing any device from a system that uses pressure, as some pressure may remain in the system. The operator of diesel generator shall not test the pressure at the outlet by hand.

5) The operator shall not touch any part of the running engine. Check and repair after the diesel generator is shut down and cooled.

6) Be careful when removing the cover plate of diesel generators control box. Slowly loosen the last two screws or nuts located at the opposite corners of the cover plate or equipment. Before removing the last two screws or nuts, gently pry the cover plate to relax the spring or other pressure.

7) The unit operator must be careful when removing the cooling air cover, grease fitting, pressure valve, respirator or drain plug, etc. First wrap the cover or plug with a piece of cloth to prevent the liquid from splashing out under pressure.

8) In case of fuel or oil leakage during unit operation, once it is found, stop the machine immediately for maintenance and stop the leakage.

9) The antirust agent of the cooling system of the unit contains alkali. Do not drink. Operators should avoid touching skin or eyes.

10) The electrolyte of the battery contains acid, so the operator of the diesel generator should avoid touching the skin or eyes.
