How to Use Diesel Generator Set Safely of Six Tips

Generators come in many forms, such as industrial diesel generator sets, which provide stable power supply for our enterprises, industries and other needs. The generator set allows continuous operation in the event of a failure to connect to the main power supply. They are also widely used in areas where power connections are unreliable or non-existent. Diesel generator is very important to ensure our quality of life. Everyone from ordinary business owners to disaster relief organizations is using diesel generator. Next, Dingbo Power will introduce about how to use diesel generator sets safely of six tips, hoping to help you.

1. Pay attention to the usage situation.

(1) When using the generator, it should be placed outdoors or in a well ventilated area within the machine room, and should not be close to doors, windows, or ventilation openings to prevent carbon monoxide from entering the room.

(2) Do not use generators near flammable and explosive materials.

(3) The generator should be placed in a dry place. If it needs to be installed and used outdoors, a canopy like building must be used to cover it to prevent contact accidents caused by moisture.

2. Pay attention to the storage and use of fuel.

(1) The generator fuel should be stored in a dedicated warehouse, and the facilities in the warehouse must comply with the regulations of the fire department.

(2) The type of fuel used should match the requirements on the generator user manual or label.

(3) Before adding fuel, the generator should be turned off first and wait for the generator to cool before adding to prevent the fuel from gradually catching fire on high-temperature components and causing disasters.

3. Pay attention to the wiring connection of the generator.

(1) The specifications of the outdoor line must meet the requirements of the electrical load used.

(2) When using extended wires, it is necessary to confirm that the insulation between them and the ground is good.

(3) It is not possible to directly plug the output line of the generator into the original power socket of the residential area for power supply, as this will form feedback and may cause electric shock accidents for users powered by the same transformer. The correct connection method is for an electrician to install the power conversion switch.

4. Keep diesel clean.

Before using oil drums to fill diesel, it is necessary to undergo sufficient sedimentation, preferably for at least 3 days. When refueling, it is also necessary to carefully filter to prevent the mixing of mechanical impurities. Keep the oil storage containers and refueling tools clean during operation.

5. The diesel fuel of the genset cannot be mixed with other fuels.

If other fuels are present in diesel, the combustion performance will significantly deteriorate, resulting in difficulty or even inability to start. Other fuels entering the cylinder will also wash away the lubricating oil film of the cylinder, accelerating the wear of the cylinder.

6. Try to use high-quality diesel fuel.

The quality of diesel directly affects whether the diesel engine can operate normally. If poor quality diesel is used, on the one hand, poor combustion leads to a decrease in the power of the diesel engine, resulting in insufficient power; On the other hand, prolonged use will accelerate the wear of various components of the fuel system and reduce the service life of the diesel engine. Therefore, try to choose diesel with good quality and appropriate brand.
