Preparation before running Diesel Generator Set

The Diesel Generator Set, as an important equipment for emergency power supply, requires sufficient preparation before operation to ensure its reliable start-up and efficient operation. The preparation items before the operation of diesel generators are introduced below for users' reference.

1、 Diesel Generator Set Appearance and Basic Inspection
Check the integrity of the engine body for cracks, deformations, or signs of oil leakage, especially at the interfaces of the crankcase, fuel tank, and cooling system.
Install the foundation, confirm that the fixing bolts of the Diesel Generator Set are not loose, the shock absorber function is normal, and avoid severe vibration during operation.

2、 Diesel Generator Set Fuel System Inspection
Fuel quality, use standard grade 0 or -10 diesel (low pour point diesel needs to be replaced in low-temperature environments), filter impurities and moisture.
Ensure sufficient fuel level in the fuel tank and prevent air from entering the fuel supply system.
Attention: Long term storage requires the addition of fuel stabilizers to prevent gum deposition.

3、 Lubrication system inspection
Oil level and quality, check the dipstick when the machine is stopped, the oil level should be between "H" and "L"; The engine oil needs to be replaced regularly (every 250 hours or 1 year).
Oil pressure, pre lubricate before starting to ensure that the oil pressure sensor is working properly.

4、 Diesel Generator Set Cooling System Inspection
Coolant, check the liquid level, confirm the concentration of antifreeze (in winter, it needs to reach the freezing point below -30 ℃).
Heat dissipation performance, clean the surface debris of the radiator, and check the tension of the fan belt.

5、 Diesel Generator Set Electrical System Inspection
Battery status, measure battery voltage (≥ 24V before startup), check if the electrodes are oxidized, and if the connecting wires are securely fastened.
Start the circuit and test the suction voltage of the starter motor to ensure that the electromagnetic switch is not stuck and the cable insulation is good.

6、 Diesel Generator Set intake and exhaust system inspection
Air filter, replace paper filter element (every 500 hours) or clean metal filter element to prevent dust from entering the cylinder.
Exhaust system, check if the muffler is blocked and if the exhaust pipe is leaking.

7、 Diesel Generator Set pre start testing and trial operation
Simulate starting, disconnect the load, manually turn the car 2-3 times, confirm there is no lag, start the no-load operation for 5-10 minutes.
Observation: Monitor for abnormal sounds and check instrument readings (oil pressure, water temperature, voltage).
Load test, gradually increase the load to 75% -80% of the rated value, run for 30 minutes, and verify the output stability.

8、 Safety protection measures
Firefighting equipment, equipped with fire extinguishers, ensure good ventilation in the computer room.
Emergency stop device, test whether the emergency stop button, overspeed protection, low oil pressure shutdown and other functions are normal.

The preparation items before running the Diesel Generator Set have been introduced above, hoping to provide users with reference. The specific operational procedures should be based on the actual situation of the unit.
