What are the requirements for the installation room of diesel generator set?

When purchasing diesel generator sets, some enterprises have great doubts about how to construct and arrange the diesel generator room.What are the requirements for the installation room of diesel generator set?Whether a diesel generator set is placed reasonably is likely to affect the operation quality of the diesel generator set.Due to the special performance of diesel generator set, there are certain requirements for the construction of diesel generator room and the placement of diesel generator set.

1. The diesel generator must be protected from wind and rain. If there is no machine room, it is recommended to purchase rainproof cover, which can also protect the diesel generator set located outside, thus improving the life of the diesel generator set.

2. The base for the fixed diesel generator set is also very important, because it needs to support the weight of the whole diesel generator set and the vibration problem caused by the operation of the diesel generator set.At the same time, sufficient stiffness and stability are required.It is recommended that we use concrete.In general, concrete foundation is a reliable and easy installation method, so we recommend users to use it first.

When the foundation is made of concrete, the levelness shall be measured with a horizontal ruler during installation to fix the unit on the horizontal foundation.There shall be special shockproof cushion or sole bolt between the unit and the foundation.

3. The diesel generator room must have enough space and maintain a good ventilation environment.Because the temperature of diesel generator set will increase during operation, the exhaust air of diesel generator room is also very important.In addition, the muffler and exhaust pipe need to be suspended under the ceiling of the diesel generator room, so the exhaust system cannot be installed directly against the top of the diesel generator room.As for the outlet air of the diesel generator room, the area of the air outlet should be more than 1.5 times of the area of the water tank.The smoke exhaust pipe must also be outdoor, the pipe diameter must be greater than the diameter of the smoke outlet pipe of the silencer, the pipe connected to the elbow should not be more than 3, to ensure smooth smoke exhaust, and the pipe should be tilted downward 5-10 degrees, to avoid rain water injection;If the exhaust pipe is installed vertically upward, a rain shield must be installed.

4. The surroundings of the installation site should be kept clean. Avoid placing corrosive gases and vapors that can produce acidity and alkalinity nearby.Fire extinguishing equipment shall be provided if possible.

The two-way switch between the generator and the mains must be very reliable in case it is sent backwards.The connection reliability of the two-way switch shall be inspected and approved by the local power supply department.

The above points are the diesel generator set installation room has what requirements.If you don’t know how to build the machine room, you can also consult the diesel generator manufacturer.
