June 06, 2022
As various industries pay more and more attention to power supply security, diesel generator sets can provide electric energy continuously, stably and safely in the case of insufficient power or power interruption, so they are widely used in scientific research, production, urban construction and life. In this field, the use of diesel generator sets is basically not restricted by the place. Most users use diesel generator sets indoors (machine room), but some users do not prepare diesel generator rooms, resulting in the generator set can only be used outdoors, and some users Special industries such as construction sites, mines, petroleum and other places of use also require diesel generator sets to be placed outdoors.
 
       As various industries pay more and more attention to power supply security, diesel generator sets can provide electric energy continuously, stably and safely in the case of insufficient power or power interruption, so they are widely used in scientific research, production, urban construction and life. In this field, the use of diesel generator sets is basically not restricted by the place. Most users use diesel generator sets indoors (machine room), but some users do not prepare diesel generator rooms, resulting in the generator set can only be used outdoors, and some users Special industries such as construction sites, mines, petroleum and other places of use also require diesel generator sets to be placed outdoors. The generator set manufacturer Dingbo Electric reminds everyone that the diesel generator sets placed outdoors need to do the following requirements:
 
       1. If the diesel generator set is used outdoors for a long time, Dingbo Power recommends that the user configure a rainproof shelter for the generator set, because the diesel generator set will inevitably be exposed to wind and rain if it is used outdoors for a long time, so configure a rainproof shelter. It can effectively avoid damage to the unit and help prolong the service life of the unit.
       2. Users of diesel generator sets placed outdoors should also pay attention to placing the unit in a ventilated and dry place.
       3. There shall be no flammable and explosive materials around the diesel generator set.
       4. The diesel generator set cannot be close to the building, and there must be a gap. Dingbo Power recommends leaving a distance of about 3 meters.
       5. The fuel of the diesel generator set cannot be placed outdoors, it needs to be placed in a room alone, and the internal facilities of the room must comply with fire regulations.
       6. The fuel and oil are specially purchased according to the diesel generator set, and antifreeze is added to the set in time according to the seasonal weather temperature.
 
       If the above points are done well, the diesel generator set can be used outdoors with confidence. It is worth noting that if the diesel generator set used outdoors has a lot of dust in the environment, the maintenance cycle of the generator set needs to be appropriately advanced. Specific users can consult Diesel generator set manufacturers.
