The 15 kilowatt generator is heated by a water channel. When using antifreeze coolant, in cold areas where the ambient temperature is below 0 degrees Celsius, the fluidity of the liquid will become poor and the temperature inside the body will be too low, making it difficult starting the engine. Using a water heater can increase the temperature of the coolant, improve its fluidity and increase body temperature by relying on heat transfer.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of water-cooled and air-cooled diesel generators?
Actually, adding nothing can prevent severe cold. Since #10 diesel fuel can only withstand temperatures of around minus 10 degrees, if it exceeds that range there is no point in adding anything. If you add antifreeze, it will only prevent the fluid from freezing, mbut diesel will always freeze. It is recommended to wrap the filter element and associated parts with an asbestos patch to keep them warm.
The advantages and disadvantages of water-cooled and air-cooled diesel generator sets are mainly reflected in the host.
Water-cooled diesel engines have an open cycle and a closed cycle. They have good cooling effect, low noise and are widely used. However, the structure is complex, the manufacturing cost is high, it is relatively bulky, it is easy to corrode, it produces scale, blockages, leaks, it loses a lot of heat, it consumes more oil and it is more difficult to maintain.
The air-cooled diesel engine has simple structure, low manufacturing cost, small size, light weight, low heat loss, relatively fuel efficient, no water leakage, gel, tartar and other defectss, short hot-running time and environmental adaptability Good performance and easy maintenance. The disadvantages are loud noise, uneven cooling, high thermal load and high fan power consumption.
