In modern society, the stability and reliability of power supply are crucial, especially in the fields of industrial, commercial, and emergency backup power sources. As an efficient and reliable power supply equipment, diesel generator sets require strict control throughout the entire process of selection, purchase, installation, and commissioning. This article will provide you with a detailed guide to the entire process of
diesel generator sets, helping you smoothly complete each step from selection to installation.
1、 Selection section
1. Clarify requirements
The first step in selecting is to clarify your electricity needs. This includes the required power capacity, usage scenarios (such as common, backup, or emergency), load types (such as constant load, variable load), and operating modes (such as continuous operation, limited time operation). According to your needs, you can choose generator sets with different performance levels, such as G1 to G4 levels, where G4 level generators are suitable for application scenarios with strict requirements for voltage, frequency, and waveform, such as data processing equipment and computer systems.
2. Power matching
Power selection is the core content of unit selection. After clarifying the requirements, you need to calculate and adjust the required output power of the unit based on the on-site conditions and load characteristics of the unit. This includes three types: time limited operating power (LTP), basic power (PRP), and continuous power (COP). Generally, the continuous operating power of a generator set should be greater than or equal to the stable power of the load, and the apparent power at startup of the generator set should be greater than or equal to the apparent power at startup of the load.
3. Consider environmental factors
Under non rated site conditions and special loads, the rated power of the unit needs to be adjusted. This includes factors such as environmental temperature, altitude, corrosive environment, humidity, and dust. For example, when the ambient temperature is too high, the air density decreases and the combustion efficiency decreases, which will reduce the mechanical output power of the diesel engine. Therefore, when selecting a generator set, it is necessary to fully consider these factors and make power adjustments according to the actual situation.
2、 Purchase article
1. Choose brand and supplier
There are many well-known diesel generator brands and suppliers in the market. When choosing, you need to consider factors such as brand awareness, product performance and quality, supplier after-sales service, and price. It is recommended to prioritize choosing brands and suppliers with good reputation and rich experience.
2. Sign the contract
Before signing the contract, you need to have a detailed understanding of the various terms and details in the contract, including product specifications, quantity, price, delivery time, after-sales service, etc. At the same time, you also need to clarify the obligations and responsibilities that should be fulfilled in the contract, to avoid exceeding the scope of responsibilities or omitting the obligations that should be fulfilled.
3、 Installation section
1. Determine the installation location
Choose a flat, solid, and well ventilated location as the installation location for the generator set. Ensure there is sufficient space around the generator for daily maintenance and operation. At the same time, it is necessary to stay away from flammable and explosive materials to ensure safety.
2. Infrastructure construction
Build a solid foundation based on the size and weight of the generator set. The foundation should be able to withstand the weight of the generator set and have a certain degree of shock absorption effect. Ensure the basic level to prevent vibration during generator operation.
3. Install the generator set
Place the generator set on the foundation and adjust its height and levelness using a jack. Use a wrench and screwdriver to tighten the fixing bolts of the generator set, ensuring their stability and reliability. During this process, carefully align the installation holes of the generator frame with the threaded holes of the already installed shock absorbers.
4. Connect pipelines and lines
According to the requirements of the generator set, connect the fuel pipeline, exhaust pipeline, and electrical circuit. Ensure that the pipeline connection is tight and there is no leakage. The connection of electrical circuits should be firm, with good contact, and corresponding protective measures should be taken to prevent damage or aging of the electrical circuits.
5. Debugging and trial operation
After installation, carry out debugging and trial operation of the generator set. Check whether the various functions of the generator set are normal, and promptly eliminate any problems. During trial operation, attention should be paid to observing the operating status and various parameters of the generator set to ensure that it meets the requirements.
4、 Summary
The selection, purchase, installation, and commissioning of diesel generator sets is a complex and important process. By clarifying requirements, power matching, considering environmental factors, selecting brands and suppliers, signing contracts, determining installation locations, infrastructure construction, installing generator sets, connecting pipelines and lines, and debugging and trial operation, you can successfully complete the entire installation of diesel generator sets. This will provide stable and reliable power support for your industrial, commercial, or emergency backup power supply.
