Installation
2.1
General Outline
Correct installation of generator set is the
precondition which ensure the normal working status
of the generator set. The working room for generator
set shall be designed specifically to meet the
expected functions and maintenance operations, and
at the same time the design of generator set working
room shall conform to local government's laws and
regulations on architecture, fire protection laws and
other applicable regulations.
2.2
Transportation
During the period of shipment, protection shall be
made for the generator set. In addition, the
generator set shall be tightly secured in the loading
truck so that to avoid any vibration during shipment
which will cause the generator set's components
loosen and even damaged. During the process of
shipment of generator set, no people or other
material is allowed to place above the generator set
so that to avoid damage to generator set caused by
weight.
When loading or unloading the generator set to the
truck, forklift or hoisting device shall be used to avoid
the generator set become tilted or fell to the ground,
which causes damage.
Lifting holes have been designed on the common
base frame of our generator sets. Some of the
specifically designed generator sets has been
facilitated with lifting holes on the roof and forklift
openings on the base frame etc. Users can transport
the generator set according to the guidance specified
on the specific labels sticked on the generator set.
Please do not use the lifting lugs on the engine or on
the alternator to hoist the whole generator set.
2.3
Design for Foundation
The foundation which used to install and fix the diesel
generator set is very important, it must conform to
the following requirement:
◆Have enough hardness and stability, so that to avoid
deformation, which will affect the concentricity of
diesel engine and alternator and other accessory
parts.
◆To support the weight of the whole generator set and
to absorb the dynamic impact caused by unbalanced
force and vibration during engine's running period.
◆Generator set's foundation is not allowed to connect
to other architecture's foundation.
◆ The width and depth of foundation shall meet
requirement.
◆Ensure foundation's levelness and smoothness.
◆If possible, waste discharge sink can be sued so that
the waste oil can be discharged in a timely manner.
Cable channel for generator power output cable need
to be reserved.
◆Normally, concrete foundation is reliable, simple and
preferable. When pouring the concrete foundation,
please make sure the surface of concrete is flat, and
no scratch is allowed. Gradienter or similar
instruments need to be used during installation of
generator set and its exhaust system.
The design of foundation can refer to following
calculation formula: (below is the diagram for diesel
generator set foundation)
1. Generator dimension length × width: L1×W1
2. Foundation dimension length × width: L2×W2
L2 =L1+400 (mm)
W2 =W1+400 (mm)
3. B=2×M/ (L2×W2×D)
B: Thickness of foundation
M: Generator set weight
L2: Length of foundation
W2: Width of foundation
D: Density of Concrete (refer to 2322kg/m3)
(Foundation drawing Refer to APPENDIX A )
2.4
Design for Generator Set Working Room
The installation of generator set shall be designed, so
that to meet the demand of planned operation and
maintenance. The complete installation shall conform
to local architecture laws, fire protection laws and
other applicable regulations. Except the above
matters, there are other matters needs your
attention as follows:
◆Ensure diesel engine generator set working room is
furnished with rainproof, sunscreen, and windproof.
◆Ensure diesel engine generator set working room has
good ventilation and good exhaust system, and the
area for ventilation is sufficient, and at the same time
use pipes to let out the hot air generated from the
radiator and prevent the hot air from returning.
◆Ensure the waste gas generated during generator set
running period can be discharged to outside timely,
and try your best to reduce the adverse effect caused
to environment. The silencer and exhaust pipe shall
be supported by the roof, the supporter shall allow
the exhaust pipe to expand. It is not permitted to
install the exhaust system directly on the generator
set.
◆ Enough space shall be reserved for the diesel
generator set for convenience of cooling, operation
and maintenance etc. Generally speaking, no foreign
material is allowed to be placed within the area of
