Precautions for seasonal use of diesel generator sets

When using diesel generator sets during seasonal changes, the following precautions should be taken for user reference.

Fuel selection: Diesel generator sets may need to adjust their fuel selection during different seasons. In winter, winter grade diesel fuel should be used to ensure good fuel flow and ignition performance in low-temperature environments.

Antifreeze: During cold seasons, ensure that appropriate antifreeze is added to the cooling system of the diesel generator set to prevent freezing and damage to the cooling system.

Preheating and pre operation: Before starting the generator set in a low-temperature environment, preheating operation should be carried out to improve the reliability and performance of the generator set. The preheating time can be determined based on the temperature and equipment requirements.

Maintenance and upkeep: According to the usage and equipment requirements of the diesel generator set, regular maintenance and upkeep work is carried out, including changing the oil, filter, air filter, etc. Especially before changing seasons, inspect and clean all components of the generator set to ensure their normal operation.

Temperature and humidity control: Ensure that the working environment temperature and humidity of the generator set are within the range required by the equipment. Excessive temperature or humidity may affect the performance and lifespan of the equipment.

Regular testing and drills: Conduct regular testing and drills of diesel generator sets to ensure their normal operation during seasonal changes. Testing includes load testing, automatic switching testing, etc. to verify the reliability and functionality of the generator set.

Anti water accumulation: In rainy or humid environments, ensure that there is no water accumulation at the bottom and surrounding areas of the diesel generator set equipment to avoid electrical failures.

Attention to safety: When operating and maintaining the generator set, pay attention to safety operating procedures.

The above suggestions are based on the general maintenance methods of diesel generator sets, and the specific usage precautions may vary depending on the equipment model, manufacturer's requirements, and environmental conditions. Therefore, before using a diesel generator set during a seasonal change, you can refer to the equipment manufacturer's operating manual.
