Six Precautions for Diesel Generator Set Installation 1. Ensure good ventilation at the installation site. The generator end should have sufficient intake vents, while the diesel engine end should have good exhaust outlets, with the exhaust outlet area being 1.5 times larger than the radiator area. 2. Keep the installation site clean and free from items that produce corrosive gases and steam, such as acids and alkalis. If possible, install fire-fighting equipment. 3. When used indoors, the exhaust pipe must be routed outdoors, with the pipe diameter being equal to or greater than the muffler exhaust pipe diameter. The bend in the connecting pipe should not exceed 3 to ensure smooth exhaust flow, and the pipe should slope downward by 5-10 degrees to prevent rainwater from entering; if the exhaust pipe is installed vertically upwards, a rain shield must be installed. 4. When the base is made of concrete, measure the level with a level during installation to secure the unit on a level foundation. There should be a special shock-absorbing pad or anchor bolt between the device and the foundation. 5. The generator set housing must have a reliable protective grounding. For generators requiring a neutral point to be grounded directly, professional grounding of the neutral point is mandatory, along with lightning protection devices. It is strictly prohibited to use municipal power grounding equipment for direct neutral grounding. 6. The bidirectional switch between the generator and the public power supply must be extremely reliable to prevent reverse power transmission. The reliability of the bidirectional switch wiring should be inspected and approved by the local power supply department. Precautions for Diesel Generator Operation To better utilize diesel generators and avoid significant damage to the generator's lifespan during use, proper and adequate protection measures must be taken when moving or transporting the diesel generator set, and it must meet relevant performance requirements. Otherwise, damage to the generator equipment can occur inadvertently. When transporting diesel engines, ensure the carrying capacity of the transport vehicle is not less than 1.2 times the total weight of the equipment and accessories to prevent accidental damage. To prevent the generator from being exposed to wind and sunlight, necessary safety packaging must be applied, such as wooden boxes and waterproof lining. The generator should be securely fastened inside the vehicle to prevent vibration and movement that could loosen or damage its components. During transportation, prevent any person or object on the generator set from being compressed. When loading or unloading diesel generator equipment from the vehicle, use forklifts or cranes and be cautious to prevent the equipment from tipping over or falling to the ground, causing damage. The generator can be carefully lifted using a suspended crane or gently pushed and pulled using a forklift at the base of the equipment. Note that the lifting capacity of the rope should be as vertical as possible to maintain the balance of the generator equipment, and the lifting stress position should be as close as possible to the center of gravity of the unit. The forklift's fork arm carrying capacity should be greater than 120-130% of the unit's weight. Additionally, it should be noted that radiators, intake and exhaust pipes, and electrical components are relatively fragile parts of the generator. During transportation and movement, care must be taken to prevent collisions and unnecessary losses.
