1. Regular inspection and maintenance: Before using the generator set in winter, a comprehensive inspection and maintenance should be carried out to ensure that all components are in good condition, especially the battery, cables, and power system. If the unit is placed outdoors, snow prevention measures need to be taken to prevent snow accumulation from causing malfunctions or hindering normal operation.
2. Preventing low temperature effects: Low temperature has a significant impact on the operation of the generator set and insulation measures need to be taken. For example, using insulation sleeves, insulation curtains and other cold proof equipment, or using Huaquan Electric Container Power Station, the box is equipped with temperature control, heating, and warming systems to provide a suitable temperature environment for the unit.
3. Proper ventilation: When using the generator set in winter, attention should be paid to ventilation. The unit generates heat during operation, and poor ventilation may cause overheating or carbon monoxide accumulation, posing a safety hazard. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure that the unit operates in a well ventilated environment.
4. Preheating: Diesel generator sets need to be preheated before use in winter to prevent poor combustion caused by high viscosity and low fluidity of diesel. Insufficient preheating can affect the stability of engine start-up and operation.
5. Fuel selection: Choose a diesel grade suitable for the local low-temperature environment, such as -50 # diesel, to ensure normal use in extremely cold weather.
6. Oil selection: Under low temperature conditions, choose the appropriate oil viscosity grade, usually API CH-4 grade or above, to ensure good lubrication performance even under cold conditions.
7. Antifreeze: Ensure that the coolant level is appropriate, and the antifreeze ability of the antifreeze should meet the local minimum temperature. If using liquefied natural gas (LNG), it is also necessary to ensure sufficient gas supply and stable pressure.
8. Battery insulation: The performance of the starting battery may be affected in cold environments, and a battery heater or insulation sleeve needs to be used to ensure that the battery maintains an appropriate temperature and the unit can start normally.
9. Anti freezing measures: In extremely cold areas, special attention should be paid to anti freezing measures. For example, using a heater to prevent gas liquefaction or pressure drop, ensuring that the coolant level is appropriate.
Through the above measures, the safe and efficient operation of Huaquan generators in winter can be effectively guaranteed.
