Diesel generator sets often encounter difficulties in starting during winter, ranging from minor impacts on usage to severe damage to the unit; Shandong Yibo Power Equipment Co., Ltd. provides a brief introduction from four aspects: starting environment temperature, oil and antifreeze selection, battery power, and accessory installation, in order to increase the probability of a successful start.
1. Environmental temperature
If the ambient temperature in the diesel generator room is low, it will affect the start-up efficiency. We can seal the walls and doors of the room, close non essential ventilation openings, and treat the ground, which can usually increase the temperature by about 1-5 degrees; Factories, schools, and other general places should raise the temperature in advance before use, while important power generation sites such as hospitals and aquaculture should always maintain a suitable temperature.
2. Selection of engine oil and antifreeze
When maintaining the unit before the arrival of winter, we should choose suitable oil and antifreeze according to the local temperature, which is a necessary condition to ensure the operation of the unit.
3. Battery level check
Shandong Yibo Power Equipment Co., Ltd. suggests that you regularly check the battery level. If there is a dive, we need to start charging regularly; If there is only a battery, we need to manually charge it regularly.
4. Increase in additional facilities
For harsh environments, simple prevention measures are usually not enough. We also need to install auxiliary devices such as water heating to ensure that the engine oil of the unit is always at a suitable starting temperature.
The above is a brief description compiled by Shandong Yibo Power Equipment Co., Ltd. about the difficulty of starting diesel generator sets in winter. We are a manufacturer of diesel generators, and in recent years, we have gained the trust of many customers with our excellent product quality, rich experience and technology, and perfect service system.
