How to Avoid Fuel Tank Failure in 200kW Diesel Generator Room

How to avoid fuel tank failure in 200kW diesel generator room？

The use trend of 200kW diesel generator set is inevitable. Before developing new ways, diesel generator set, as a normal power supply channel, has been accepted by the majority of users. Whether it is temporary leasing, buying new machines or buying second-hand machines, they have been widely used. The price of diesel generator sets often varies greatly according to different types. Because the price of diesel generator is relatively expensive, we should pay full attention to the installation and storage of diesel generator set when installing diesel generator set.

1. The storage position of 200kW diesel generator set fuel tank must be safe to prevent fire. The fuel tank should be placed far away from the diesel generator set, and smoking is strictly prohibited.

2. The fuel tank of diesel generator set is made of stainless steel or steel plate. Do not paint or galvanize the inside of the fuel tank, so as not to cause the impurities damaged by Weichai generator set to reduce the quality, cleanliness and combustion efficiency of diesel.

3. After the fuel tank is placed, the fuel level should not be 2.5 meters higher than the base of the diesel generator set. During the shutdown of the diesel generator set, it is not allowed for the fuel to flow into the diesel engine by gravity through the fuel inlet pipe or fuel injection pipe.

4. The resistance at the fuel port is not allowed to exceed the specified value when using clean filter element specified on the performance data sheet of all diesel generator sets.

5. The fuel supply end of the fuel tank shall be about 50mm higher than the bottom of the fuel tank of the unit to prevent sediment and water from being sucked into the fuel supply pipe.

6. The connection of the fuel return line should not cause a shock wave of fuel in the fuel pipe of the generator set.

7. The fuel capacity in the fuel tank should ensure daily supply.

8. The fuel supply and return areas of the fuel tank.

How to choose the capacity and type of diesel generator fuel tank?

If the fuel tank is too small to meet your power needs, or it is not a suitable type for the application, it is useless. This is why it is necessary to understand the type of diesel generator oil tank and determine its capacity to meet your specific requirements.

How to determine the required capacity of diesel generator fuel tank?

To determine the fuel tank size of the diesel generator, first of all, you need to know how much fuel the generator can hold, which will let you know the operation duration of the generator. Here are three important considerations:

Emergency inventory: if supply is delayed or your consumption increases, you must measure the amount of excess fuel you need.

Delivery time: how long does it take you to purchase fuel and deliver it to the generator site?

How much fuel is needed: when you bring fuel from the seller to the generator, the generator needs to operate normally to ensure uninterrupted workflow. How much fuel does the generator need to operate during this period?

Once you understand these things, you can use this formula to calculate the fuel capacity you need: Minimum capacity = lead time inventory + emergency inventory.
