How to Install Diesel Generator Fuel Tank?
by Starlight Generator dieselgeneratortechBefore we use diesel
power generators, installation and connection should be carried out,
installation site should be well ventilated, generator end should have enough
air intake, diesel generator end should have good air outlet, so what matters
should be paid attention to for daily fuel tank installation?
1.We should select a
suitable location, the location needs to be safe and fire-proof, and should be
placed in a visible place, properly far from the location of the diesel
generator set and smoking is strictly prohibited.
2.Special fuel tank base
must be built in the tank compartment, so that the tank can be placed on it
alone and the interior needs to be filled. Paving the floor with fist-sized
pebbles and filling the cracks with yellow sand, which can prevent the diesel
oil leaking into the sandstone when diesel oil leakage appears in the machine
room. Even if fire is currently generated, it will not burn, because it has
passed through yellow sand.
3.We need to do a good
job of fire control measures in the machine room, also need to equip fire
extinguishers, gas masks and other items, to ensure that when such a failure
occurs, it will not cause harm to our personal safety.
4.After placed day tank,
the max. oil level can not be 2.5 meters higher than the base of the diesel
generator set. If the oil level of the large oil depot is higher than 2.5
meters, the daily fuel tank should be added between the large oil depot and the
diesel generator set, so that the pressure of direct fuel delivery is not more
than 2.5 meters. Even during the shutdown of diesel generating sets, fuel is
not allowed to flow into the diesel engine by gravity through the intake or
injection lines.
5.The position of fuel
supply pipe end should be higher than about 50mm at the bottom of fuel tank of
diesel generator set to prevent sediment and water from being sucked into the
fuel supply pipe.
6.The connection of fuel
return pipeline should not cause shock wave in the fuel pipeline of diesel
generating sets.
7.In order to reduce the
heat exchange of diesel power generators, there should be a perforated baffle
in the oil supply and return areas of the tank.
8.The resistance at the
oil outlet shall not exceed the specified values the for the use of clean
filter elements specified in the performance data sheet of all diesel
generating sets. This resistance value is based on half of the fuel in the fuel
tank.
In order to make better
use of diesel generators and improve the efficiency of generators, the
reasonable placement of daily fuel tanks plays an important role. Therefore, we
should not ignore it in the installation process, but pay more attention to it.
It is suggested to
purchase an electric fuel pump which is controlled by liquid level switch to
start and refuel the daily fuel tank.
1.Daily fuel tanks
cannot be made of galvanized iron products, because diesel oil reacts with them
chemically.
2.We suggest that
besides the automatic refueling system, a hand pump should be installed to
facilitate the extraction of fuel from the tank.
3.Ventilation pipes for
daily fuel tanks should be designed at the highest point of the system. Their
dimensions should at least match those of oil supply pipes. Dust-proof devices
should also be installed.
4.The spilled fuel can
be discharged directly back to the tank.
5.When the daily fuel
tank is below the level of the storage tank, a solenoid valve should be
installed in the pipeline instead of an oil pump.
6.Soft pipe throat
should be used in connection with diesel genset to avoid vibration
transmission.
