Failure to use proper installation procedures when installing a diesel generator set can lead to many problems and even damage to the equipment, for example:
Poor Performance: Poor Performance: Incorrect installation can lead to poor performance of the generator set, such as abnormally high fuel consumption and low power generation efficiency, resulting in the generator set not being able to meet the required power demand.
Equipment Damage: Improper installation can damage the generator set itself as well as other connected equipment such as transfer switches, circuit breakers, and control panels, resulting in costly repairs or replacement.
Safety Hazards: Incorrect installation of diesel generator sets may cause safety hazards such as improper grounding, fuel leaks, and exhaust system problems, which can lead to electric shocks, fires, and even explosions, posing a threat to the personal safety of the operator.
Unreliable Operation: Due to incorrect installation, the generator set is likely to fail to start when needed or fail to provide consistent power output. This can result in significant financial losses during power outages or emergencies, as the generator set is unable to provide the required power in time.
Warranty Issues: Failure to properly install the generator set in accordance with the generator set manufacturer's instructions may void the generator set's warranty and incur additional costs for repairs and maintenance.
Ensuring that your diesel generator set is installed correctly is crucial, following the manufacturer's guidelines and seeking professional help or handling to avoid these potential problems mentioned above. Additionally, AGG has listed some important things to pay attention to when installing a diesel generator set:
● Location: Choose a well-ventilated area with proper airflow to avoid heat buildup.
● Exhaust System: Make sure the exhaust system is properly installed and located away from windows and doors to prevent fumes from entering enclosed spaces.
● Fuel Supply: Check fuel supply lines for leaks and make sure they are properly connected to prevent fuel supply issues.
● Cooling System: The radiator needs to be installed correctly as well as making sure there is enough space around the generator set to keep the airflow cool.
● Electrical Connections: Ensure that all electrical connections are secure by following the correct wiring diagrams provided by the manufacturer.
● Vibration Isolation: Install vibration isolation frames to reduce noise and prevent vibrations from being transmitted to surrounding structures to cause interference.
● Proper Ventilation: Ensure that there is adequate ventilation to prevent the generator set from overheating and to maintain air quality in the space.
● Compliance with Regulations: Follow all local building codes and regulations related to the installation of diesel generator sets.
