What are the points of choosing the location of the engine room of the diesel generator set?

May 27, 2022

Diesel generator sets are widely used in many enterprises, schools and communities by virtue of their advantages of rapid starting, convenient operation and maintenance, less investment, and strong adaptability to the environment. Good things need to be placed in the right place, so after we have purchased the diesel generator set, how should we choose the location of the engine room where the generator set is stored?

Diesel generator sets

1. The following points should be paid attention to when selecting the location of the computer room:

1. In order to create conditions for the hot air duct and exhaust duct of the diesel generator set to be discharged outdoors, the diesel generator set room should not be located in a room without external walls around it;

2. Try to avoid the main entrance, facade and other parts of the building, so as to avoid the influence of exhaust and smoke;

3. Pay attention to the impact of noise on the surrounding environment;

4. The computer room shall not be located directly below and adjacent to toilets, bathrooms or other places where water often accumulates;

5. If conditions permit, it is best to choose the computer room in the substation close to the building, which is convenient for wiring, reduces the loss of electric energy, and is easy to manage;

6. It should not be near the anti-vibration room;

7. There is an oil storage room in the machine room.

2. Selection and arrangement of the location of the generator set room:

1. The location of the computer room

According to the requirements of relevant design specifications, the best location for the diesel generator room should be the first floor of the building, but generally the first floor of civil buildings such as large public buildings and commercial buildings belong to the golden area, and the first floor will bring certain environmental problems to the surrounding environment. Noise pollution, so Tingbo Electric still recommends to arrange the diesel generator room in the basement, but because the basement is not easy to access and the natural ventilation conditions are poor, it will bring a series of unfavorable factors to the design of the machine room, so pay attention to the design of the machine room. Good air intake, exhaust, smoke and so on.

2. Requirements for the layout of the computer room:

1) Diesel generator room should be separated from other parts by partition walls with fire resistance rating not less than 2.00 hours and floor slabs with 1.50 hours;

2) The machine room should have two entrances and exits, one of which should meet the requirements of the handling unit. The door should take fire prevention and sound insulation measures, and should be opened outwards.

3) The walls and ceilings around the computer room are used as sound absorbers to absorb part of the sound energy and reduce the reverberation sound caused by sound wave reflection;

4) The arrangement of equipment in the computer room should meet the requirements of "Code for Electrical Design of Civil Buildings", and strive to be compact, ensure safety, and facilitate operation and maintenance.
