1) When using the engine matching the generator set in the high altitude plateau area, especially the naturally aspirated engine, when used in the plateau area, due to the thin air, it cannot burn as much fuel as it does at sea level and lose some power. Naturally aspirated engines generally lose about 3% of their power per 300m elevation. Therefore, when working at high altitudes, the power should be corrected (reduced power) to prevent smoke and excessive fuel consumption. It is recommended to use an engine designed for high altitude environments.
2) Add auxiliary starting equipment (fuel heater, oil heater, water jacket heater, etc.) for operation in extreme cold climate conditions. Use fuel heater or electric heater to connect the cooling water, fuel oil and lubricating oil of cold engine. Heating warms up the entire engine so that it can start smoothly. • When the engine room temperature is not lower than 4 °C, install a coolant heater to maintain the engine block temperature above 32 °C. ·Install the generator set low temperature alarm. For generator sets that will operate at ambient temperatures below -18°C, lube oil heaters, fuel line and fuel filter heaters are also required to prevent fuel solidification. The oil heater is installed on the engine oil pan. It heats the oil in the oil pan and facilitates the start of the diesel engine at low temperatures. It is recommended to use -10#～-35# light diesel oil. ·Use the intake air preheater for heating, and use the intake air preheater (electric preheating or flame preheating) to heat the mixture (or air) entering the cylinder, thereby increasing the compression end temperature and improving the ignition conditions. The electric heating method is to install a glow plug or a heating wire in the intake pipe to directly heat the intake air. It does not consume oxygen in the air and does not pollute the intake air, but it consumes battery power. ·Using low-temperature lubricating oil to reduce the viscosity of lubricating oil to improve the fluidity of lubricating oil and reduce the internal frictional resistance of the liquid. ·Using high-energy storage batteries, such as current nickel-metal hydride batteries and nickel-cadmium batteries. Pay attention to the heating or heating and heat preservation of the battery. If the temperature of the machine room will drop below 0 °C, a battery heater should be equipped. In order to maintain the capacity and output power of the battery.
3) In places with high humidity, heaters should be installed on the generator winding and control box to prevent short circuit or damage to insulation caused by condensation inside the generator winding and control box.
4) Working in conditions of poor cleanliness Long-term operation in dirty and dusty environments will damage parts. Accumulated sludge, dirt and dust can wrap components and make maintenance more difficult. Deposits can contain corrosive compounds and salts that can damage components. Therefore, in order to maintain the longest service life to the greatest extent, the maintenance interval must be shortened.
