The Design Requirements for the Diesel Generator Room

Diesel generator sets are used as a standby power source. Because of their large capacity, they can last for a long time and are not affected by grid failures such as mains power. They are used in a variety of environmental occasions. However, when it is placed and used, fire-fighting measures must be taken, and the computer room must be designed in a standard manner. In addition to ensuring the normal operation of the machine room, the design of the machine room should also consider the fire safety of the machine room. At the same time, the user should also standardize the operation of the unit and maintain it regularly. In this article, Dingbo Power introduce to you what are the important design requirements for the machine room of diesel generator set.

1. The equipment room should have good ventilation conditions, in particular, there must be sufficient fresh air around the air filter, and no items that produce corrosive gases such as acid gas should be placed in the equipment room.

2. When installing the exhaust muffler, the exhaust port should be placed outdoors, and the exhaust pipe should not be too long. If possible, the surface of the exhaust pipe should be wrapped with heat insulating material to reduce heat dissipation to the room.

3. The machine room of a closed generator set generally does not require forced ventilation. The fan of the unit can be used to exhaust air to the outside to promote air convection in the machine room, but the corresponding air inlet and outlet must be set. If necessary, the computer room of the open-type unit adopts forced ventilation, but the air inlet must be low, and the exhaust fan should be installed at the highest position of the computer room, so that the high-temperature airflow can be discharged outside in time.

4. In addition to the ventilation requirements for the unit installation, the equipment room should consider requirements for lightning protection, sound insulation, vibration isolation, fire protection, safety, environmental protection, lighting, and sewage discharge. Heating measures should also be provided in the northern area to ensure that the unit can start normally.

5. Fuel pipelines and cables should be laid in trough plates or trenches as much as possible, and cables can also be laid in conduits. Daily fuel tanks can be placed indoors, but they should meet the requirements.

6. If conditions permit, it is recommended that the diesel generator set brand and the control panel be placed separately. The control panel should be placed in an operating room with soundproof facilities, and an observation window is provided to facilitate the operator to understand the operating status of the unit in time.

7. There should be a space distance of 0.8~1.0m around the unit, and no other items should be placed in order to facilitate the inspection and maintenance of the operator

The above are the design requirements for the engine room of diesel generator sets. In addition to ensuring the normal operation of the machine, the fire safety of the engine room should also be considered. At the same time, the user should also regulate the operation of the unit and regular maintenance, so that the unit can be used for a longer period of time. Life, reduce operating costs.
