Problems Caused by Improper Installation of Diesel Generators

Purchasing new diesel generators is an important investment in providing permanent continuous electricity for the operation and daily operations of enterprises or units. The protection of diesel generator sets begins with a stable and reliable installation process. Our installation experts will work closely with you to select the appropriate location and optimize the settings according to your needs. Every installation is customized, and we guarantee that every detail can be thoroughly resolved to fully meet your needs in the finished product.

Diesel generator sets are generally installed outdoors or indoors, and the installation methods in the two environments are not completely consistent. The most suitable installation steps and methods should be designed according to the actual situation of the installation site. Only in this way can the power and service life of diesel generators be maximally guaranteed. Today, Dingbo Electric will introduce to you some steps and methods required for these two installation environments.

Outdoor installation

Outdoor installation begins with pouring reinforced concrete mats that are sufficient to meet the size, shape, weight, and space requirements of the new generator. This issue must be carefully calculated because a too small cushion does not have enough space to come into contact with and maintain the diesel generator, which can break under the weight of the generator and may lead to compliance with the rules. Once again, you need to establish a sealed box with sufficient strength and volume around the fuel tank to hold any leaked fuel or lubricating oil.

After the concrete solidifies and is installed, a crane can directly unload a new diesel generator from the truck onto the installation bolts. After adjustment and fixation, it can be connected to the oil tank and automatically switch.

Internal setup

Installing a new type of diesel generator indoors is more complex than installing it outdoors. Depending on your equipment, it may be necessary to use a gantry crane or skateboard to locate the generator. Like outdoor installation, the first step is to confirm that the foundation has sufficient strength to support the weight of the diesel generator. All local and national regulations for installing new diesel generators indoors must also be taken into consideration.

As long as it is positioned and connected to the structure, the exhaust, cooling, fuel, and power systems can be connected. This process is usually simple, but you may need to plan minor to moderate changes to achieve the best installation in the structure.

Other precautions during installation.

Every installation requires safety protection devices to prevent unauthorized entry into the diesel generator area. This includes railings, columns, walls, fences, etc. You also need to consider installing a noise reduction system so that the operation of the diesel generator does not exceed the safety level. Ultimately, you need to ensure that your equipment is equipped with appropriate fire and safety alarms that can detect everything from carbon dioxide concentration to fuel leaks. It is also necessary to install and maintain fire protection equipment that complies with local building codes and industry regulations.
