Diesel generators play a crucial role in providing backup power to enterprises. The quality of power delivered by these generators is directly related to the working temperature of the generator set. When temperatures are too high, the moving parts of the generator equipment can easily become damaged, which can reduce work efficiency, prolong start-up time, and lead to carbon deposition. Similarly, when temperatures are too low, the performance of the generator can also be impacted. Therefore, it is imperative to maintain the appropriate operating temperature to ensure optimal output efficiency.
Different regions may have different temperature requirements for diesel generator equipment. To maintain the proper temperature, it is recommended to subject critical diesel generators to load bank tests at least once a year for 60 minutes at 80% of maximum load. Critical diesel generators can be tested more frequently depending on individual and industry requirements. Additionally, diesel generator sets in use should be run for at least 30 minutes at least once a month, maintaining load with the manufacturer’s recommended minimum exhaust temperature at operating conditions and not falling below 30% of the standby kW rating.
To keep the generator temperature normal, it is necessary to take several measures. Bearing lubrication is crucial since insufficiently lubricated bearings can cause generators to fail at high temperatures. Battery components should be checked weekly to ensure the sufficient electrolyte levels and tight terminal connections to avoid excessive heat generation. Dust accumulation in air and fuel filters can also increase wear and tear and impact the performance of diesel generators. Therefore, it is important to clean these filters regularly to ensure optimal performance.
In summary, maintaining appropriate working conditions for diesel generator equipment is vital for ensuring optimal performance and output efficiency. Reliability and longevity can be ensured by adopting appropriate measures such as load bank testing, regular maintenance, and cleaning of filters.
