The Difference Between The Plateau and Plain Diesel Generator Set

The use of diesel generator sets in plateau areas is different from that in plain areas, which brings some changes to the performance and use of diesel generator sets. Then, if you want to purchase a 300-kilowatt diesel generator set, but it needs to be used at an altitude of more than 3,000 meters, what is the difference between the diesel generator set and other ones used in the plains? The following points are for the reference of users who use diesel generator sets in plateau areas.

1. The altitude of the plateau is more than 3000 meters and the air is thin. In such an environment, a plateau diesel generator set, such as a plateau diesel generator set or a plateau diesel generator set, should be selected. Only the plateau diesel generator set can guarantee its stability when it is used on the plateau.

2. Secondly, the power of the diesel generator set should be too large. The output power of the engine on the plateau should generally be 1.18 times the output power of the diesel generator set, and then find their standard power value accordingly. The general algorithm can also be that the altitude exceeds the standard. Every 300m, the fuel input is reduced by 4%, and of course other fans and mechanical transmission losses.

3. Above 3000 meters above sea level on the plateau, not only the air is thin, but the temperature is also very low. The temperature will drop by 6 °C for every 1000 meters above sea level. Therefore, the plateau diesel generator set must have good starting performance at low temperature and thermal insulation equipment when starting in low temperature environment.

4. In order to ensure the power consumption of the diesel generator set used on the plateau, it is particularly recommended to use a diesel generator set with a turbocharger. Compared with the non-supercharger diesel generator set, the diesel generator set with a turbocharger has a higher power The decrease is small.

5. Due to the increase in altitude, the boiling point of the cooling water also decreases, so the cooling system of diesel generator sets used on the plateau should not be open, but pressurized closed cooling should be used to increase the boiling point of the cooling liquid.

Dingbo Power was founded in 2006 and is one of the earliest manufacturers of generators and diesel generator sets in China. If you want get more information, please feel free to send email to sales@dieselgeneratortech.com we will pay highly attention on your question.
