With the arrival of winter, the decrease in temperature has had a certain impact on the operation of various mechanical equipment, and generator sets are no exception. To ensure the stable and efficient operation of the generator set in winter, the following precautions for using the generator set in winter must be noted:

1、Preheating start:

In winter, when the temperature is low, the viscosity of the engine oil inside the unit increases and the fluidity deteriorates. Therefore, sufficient preheating must be carried out before starting to ensure that the engine oil can effectively lubricate all components. Electric heater preheating or idle preheating can be used, but it is important to avoid prolonged idle operation.

2、Anti freezing measures:

For cooling systems, specialized antifreeze should be used to prevent freezing and pipeline rupture. At the same time, it is also important to ensure that the water tank and radiator are free of ice and snow, and to regularly check the freezing point and liquid level of the antifreeze.

3、Fuel system:

Diesel fuel is prone to condensation in low temperature environments. It is necessary to select diesel fuel with appropriate grades based on the local minimum temperature, and ensure that there is no accumulated water in the fuel system to avoid freezing and blocking the oil circuit. If necessary, an electric heating device can be used to preheat the fuel.

4、Air filter:

In winter, there is less dust in the air, but condensation may increase. It is necessary to regularly clean or replace the air filter to prevent water from entering the engine and causing the cylinder liner to freeze or wear more severely.

5、Maintenance:

Before the arrival of winter, a comprehensive inspection and maintenance of the generator set should be carried out, including battery capacity, line insulation, electrical component performance, etc. Any problems found should be repaired in a timely manner to ensure that the unit is in good working condition.

6、Operating environment:

Try to place the generator set indoors or build temporary insulation sheds to avoid direct exposure to harsh cold environments and reduce startup difficulties and equipment damage caused by low temperatures.

7、Monitoring Health:

Strengthen real-time monitoring of the operating parameters of the generator set, such as voltage, current, frequency, water temperature, oil pressure, etc. Once abnormalities are found, they should be promptly shut down for inspection and handling.

In short, the correct use and maintenance of Tide Power generator sets in winter not only helps to extend the service life of equipment, but also effectively prevents sudden failures, ensuring the stability and safety of power supply.
