Aug. 01, 2024

With the arrival of summer, extreme weather phenomena such as rainstorm and typhoon occur frequently, which has brought great impact on people's production and life. In these harsh weather conditions, the safe use of diesel generators as important backup power equipment is particularly important.

First of all, let's take a look at the impact of extreme weather such as rainstorm and typhoon on diesel generator sets.

 

Impact of rainstorm

 

Rainstorm weather will lead to serious water on the ground, which may submerge the installation position of the diesel generator set, resulting in equipment damp or water ingress. In addition, rainstorm may also cause short circuit or damage to power lines, thus affecting the normal operation of diesel generator sets.

 

The impact of typhoons

 

Typhoon weather has strong winds, which may topple or damage the installation brackets and protective facilities of diesel generator sets, causing equipment damage or casualties. At the same time, the typhoon may also bring heavy rainfall, further aggravating the impact of rainstorm on diesel generator sets.

 

So, how can we safely use diesel generator sets? Now Dingbo Power will provide you with some measures, hoping to help you use diesel generator sets safely and stably in the summer with frequent extreme weather such as rainstorm and typhoon.

 

Site selection and installation

 

When selecting the installation position of diesel generator set, the impact of extreme weather such as rainstorm and typhoon shall be fully considered. Choose a place with high terrain and good drainage to avoid equipment being submerged. At the same time, the installation bracket should be stable and reliable, able to withstand the impact of strong winds such as typhoons.

 

During the installation process, it should be ensured that the diesel generator set is kept at a certain distance from the ground for drainage and ventilation. In addition, protective facilities such as waterproof covers should be installed to prevent rainwater from entering the interior of the equipment.

 

Waterproof and moisture-proof

 

In rainstorm weather, waterproof and moisture-proof is the key to ensure the safe operation of diesel generator set. Regular inspections should be conducted on the waterproof covers, drainage outlets, and other waterproof facilities of the equipment to ensure that there is no water accumulation inside the equipment. At the same time, during equipment shutdown, ensure that the drainage outlet is unobstructed to avoid water accumulation.

 

In addition, the moisture-proof work of the equipment should be strengthened. Place desiccants, hygrometers, and other equipment inside the device to monitor the humidity inside the device in a timely manner. Once the humidity is found to be too high, immediate measures should be taken for dehumidification treatment.
