1. Anti freezing measures:
Keep the machine room warm: Try to increase the temperature of the room where the diesel generator is located as much as possible to avoid freezing the machine.
Pay attention to antifreeze when refueling: Add antifreeze in a timely manner when refueling to prevent fuel and fuel lines from freezing.
Regularly start the diesel generator: In winter, even if not in use, it is necessary to start the diesel generator regularly to maintain its normal operation.
2. Change fuel and oil:
Choose low pour point diesel: In cold seasons, low pour point diesel should be selected to ensure that the diesel engine can start and work normally even at low temperatures.
Choose low pour point engine oil: In cold seasons, low pour point engine oil should be selected to ensure that the lubrication system of diesel generators can work normally even at low temperatures.
3. Battery maintenance:
Regularly check the battery status: The battery level should be checked at regular intervals, and if the battery level is too low, it needs to be replaced in a timely manner.
Cleaning batteries: In winter, due to high air humidity, it is necessary to regularly clean the batteries to prevent issues such as battery aging, electrode material damage, and shell deformation.
4. Regular maintenance and inspection:
Regular inspection and cleaning of the generator: In winter, the air is dry and dusty, so it is necessary to regularly use appropriate cleaning agents and tools to clean the generator and avoid equipment damage.
Check the engine, control panel, cooling system, and fuel system: eliminate abnormal noise, vibration, oil leakage, or wire wear issues.
Check lubrication system: The viscosity of lubricating oil may increase in winter, and it is necessary to regularly check the lubrication system of the generator and replace the lubricating oil or add lubricating grease according to the manufacturer's recommendations.
Check and adjust components such as belts, chains, and bearings: If wear or looseness is found, replace or tighten the components in a timely manner.
5. Use auxiliary startup devices:
Use electric heaters or other heating devices: Preheat the diesel generator in advance, especially in extremely cold weather conditions.
Use battery heaters or portable starting power sources to provide additional starting power in extremely cold environments, ensuring that the generator can start smoothly.
Through the above measures, Weichai diesel generator sets can effectively ensure normal operation and extend their service life in winter.
