The following should be considered when using diesel generator sets:
1. Pay attention to the use occasions
1) The generator should be placed outdoors or in a location. well-ventilated place in the engine room when in use, not near doors, windows and air vents to prevent carbon monoxide from entering the room.
2) Do not use generators near flammable and explosive materials.
3) The generator must be placed in a dry place. If it must be installed in the open air, it must be protected by a canopy type building to avoid contact accidents due to humidity.
2. Pay attention to fuel storage and use
1) Generator fuel should be stored in a dedicated warehouse, and the warehouse facilities should comply with fire department regulations.
2) The type of busFuel used must comply with the requirements listed on the generator's instruction manual or label.
3) Before adding fuel, the generator should be turned off first, then added after the generator has cooled to prevent the fuel from gradually reaching the higher temperature parts and taking fire, causing disaster.
3. Pay attention to the connection of the generator wiring
1) The specifications of the outdoor wiring should meet the requirements of the electrical load used.
2) When using an extended wire, make sure it is well insulated from earth.
3) The generator output wire cannot be directly plugged into the residence's original electrical outlet to supply electricity. This will cause feedback and could cause electric shock to users powered by the same transformer. The correct connection involves an electrician installing un power transfer switch.
4. Keep diesel fuel clean.
Before using oil barrels to fill diesel fuel, the diesel fuel must undergo sufficient sedimentation, and the sedimentation time is preferably more than 3 days. When refueling, it must also be carefully filtered to avoid mixing of mechanical impurities. The oil storage container and refueling tools should also be kept clean during operation.
5. Other fuels cannot be mixed with the unit's diesel.
If there are other fuels in the diesel, the combustion performance will be significantly worse, resulting in starting difficulty or even starting failure. Any other fuel entering the cylinder will also remove the lubricating oil film from the cylinder and accelerate cylinder wear.
6. Try to use high quality diesel.
The quality of diesel is directly related to the ability of the diesel engine to operate normally. If you use poor quality diesel, on the one hand, it will reduce the power of the diesel engine due to poor combustion, making it insufficient in power, on the other hand, if used for a long time, this will speed up the engine; wear of various parts of the fuel system and reduce the life of the diesel engine. Therefore, try to choose a diesel of good quality and appropriate brand.
