How do you use a diesel generator in extreme cold

Date:10th 2022

Diesel generator set in the high altitude plateau area and in the extreme cold climate conditions under the operation of how to use diesel generator set.




Diesel generator set matching engine, especially natural intake engine when used in plateau area, due to the thin air cannot be like in the sea level so much fuel combustion and lose some power, for natural intake engine, general every 300 m rise about 3% power loss, so in plateau does work, Low power should be used to prevent smoke and excessive fuel consumption.




Operating in cold climate conditions: add auxiliary starting equipment (fuel heater, oil heater, water jacket heater, etc.) Use fuel heater or electric heater to heat the cooling water and fuel oil and lubricating oil of the cold engine, so that the whole engine can be heated up so that it can start smoothly.




The mixture (or air) entering the cylinder is heated with an intake preheater (electric or FLAME preheater) to increase the compression endpoint temperature and improve ignition conditions. The method of electric heating is to install the electric plug or electric wire in the intake pipe to directly heat the air intake, which does not consume the oxygen in the air and does not pollute the air intake.




Adopt high energy battery, such as current nickel metal hydride battery and nickel cadmium battery. Heat or insulate batteries. If the temperature in the equipment room drops below 0 ° C, equip a battery heater. To maintain the capacity and output power of the battery.
