The generator has an integrated oil tank, which is installed on the generator, usually on the base. There is also a daily fuel tank, which typically provides 8 hours of use. This fuel tank is usually installed high up to facilitate the flow of oil to the generator. If you put it underground, you still have to solve the pump problem, which is complicated, but it's not as good as being elevated.
Is it possible to use a diesel generator without a fuel tank?
Small units are set based on 8 hour fuel requirements, such as fuel tanks of 300L, 600L and 800L. However, the oil stored in each oil storage room should not exceed 1 cubic meter. Our 2000 kW generator usually needs to install an outdoor buried oil storage tank to automatically supply oil to the oil storage tank.daily oil. Of course, if you build four oil storage rooms, the general fire department will not care about you. Many of our project rooms have multiple 2,000 kW generators. Each unit is equipped with an oil storage room. fuel oil storage rooms in the engine room. The fire protection acceptance test Nobody asked any questions about this.
It is not necessary to have a diesel generator fuel tank, but it must be inspected, repaired and maintained regularly according to regulations.
According to the “Building Electrical Engineering Construction Quality Acceptance Code”, the following conditions must be met when accepting diesel generator sets:
The engine must be reliable and all parts must be kept clean and free from leaks, cooling water, lubricated oilnte, fuel oil and other reserves comply with regulations, water, oil pumps, filter nets and safety valves are in good condition and are regularly tested, identified and maintained.
The installation of the motor should conform to the requirements of the product manual and design drawings, and its shock absorption device should be firm and reliable, and can guarantee normal operation under conditions maximum vibrations.
The protective ground wire of the diesel generator set must be connected to the grounding device according to the regulations, and the grounding resistance of the grounding device must meet the design requirements.
Therefore, even if the diesel generator tank is not required, regular inspection, repair and maintenance should be carried out according to regulations.
