Influence Of Climate On Operation Of Diesel Generator Set

The use of our daily equipment has a great correlation with the environment. When the environment and climate change, almost all equipment will change due to environmental change. Of course, diesel generator is no exception. When environmental factors such as temperature, humidity and height change, it will affect the operation of the generator set. But the reality is more than that. Many other factors will also have an impact on the normal operation of the unit, but relatively small. So, what will affect diesel generator operation?

Before we choose to buy diesel generators, we need to investigate the current environment and take corresponding measures according to its specific conditions to ensure that its current environment can be more suitable for the use of the generator set.

We need to detect other gases contained in the air, such as sulfur dioxide, carbon dioxide, etc. When the machine room is located by the sea, the salt content in the air will be very high, and close to the water source, the water content in the air will also be very high. In serious cases, it may cause a large amount of fog, which is easy to cause oxidation on the surface of the unit.

If it is close to the desert, there will be more dust and sand in the air, which is easy to cause the rapid loss of some parts of the unit. If it is not handled properly, it will lead to a lot of dust in the machine and block some pipes of the unit.

Altitude and sufficient rain will change the power of the machine. Insufficient oxygen and excessive moisture content will affect some parts of the unit, making it unable to work in good condition.

There are many occasions to use diesel generator sets, and a large proportion of them are used outdoors, especially in some construction sites and high-altitude mountains. The main use sites of diesel generator sets are in some remote places with particularly poor environmental and climatic conditions, because power is generally not cut off in prosperous areas, and the environmental evil is largely affected by local climatic conditions. Therefore, the quality of climatic conditions will have a great impact on the performance, reliability and normal operation of diesel generator sets. For example, when the air contains strong acid and strong alkaline corrosive gases, it will corrode the diesel generator set. When the diesel generator set is used by the sea, the diesel generator set will be affected by seawater and sea fog containing salt and other substances. When it is used in high mountains, it will be affected by high altitude, resulting in the boiling of coolant at a very low boiling point.

In other places, such as Northwest China and construction sites, the air often contains sand and dust, which will affect the normal operation and service life of diesel generator sets. Therefore, in order to deal with the impact of these complex climatic conditions on diesel generator sets, we must take corresponding protective measures and configure corresponding accessories to deal with different climates and protect the normal operation of diesel generator sets.

Therefore, we must fully consider the impact of various complex climates on the generator to ensure the normal operation of diesel power generator. According to the regional climate, the required generators should be configured according to the problems of noise, temperature and dust. The noise needs to be treated according to the current demand, and when the temperature is too low, we need to use components such as water jacket heater. In places with more sandstorms, high-quality air filters are used to filter the air, so that to a certain extent, we can ensure the normal use of diesel genset in the region.
