Summer Precautions for Safe and Efficient Use of Generators

Summer is the peak period for electricity consumption, as well as the peak time for people to go out to escape the heat, go camping outdoors, fish at night, and travel in RVs. Small and medium - sized digital inverter generators are used more frequently. So, how can we use generators safely, efficiently, and reasonably in the high - temperature and high - humidity environment of summer? As a professional diesel generator manufacturer, Dingbo Power will tell you some precautions:

1.Before starting the generator, check whether the machine is in good condition, whether there are any cracks in the shell, fuel leakage or overflow. Once any similar situation is found, stop starting and using the generator immediately.

2.A generator is an electrical and mechanical device. Its principle is to convert the bio - energy of fuel into electrical energy through mechanical operation. The exhaust gas it produces contains toxic substances. Therefore, it is especially necessary to ensure that the generator is operated in a well - ventilated or well - ventilated and exhaust - discharging place. In addition, insufficient heat dissipation of the machine body and insufficient oxygen intake will cause a certain power attenuation.

3.When using a generator in summer, keep the generator running within a suitable temperature range. Do not operate it in a high - temperature environment exposed to direct sunlight to prevent the generator body from heating up too quickly and causing malfunctions.

4.Gasoline generators generally have an air - cooled heat dissipation system. The fuel of gasoline generators has a low ignition point and is very easy to ignite. Be sure to pay attention that the temperature of the generator body should not be too high. Most small diesel generators use water - cooled heat dissipation. When using a diesel generator in summer, pay attention to the problems of high coolant temperature and insufficient coolant. After the diesel generator set has been running continuously for 5 hours, it should be shut down for half an hour to allow the machine body to rest. Since the diesel engine of the generator set performs high - speed compression work, long - term high - temperature operation will damage the cylinder block.

5.It rains a lot in summer and the air is humid. Before use, clean the carburetor to prevent the generator from failing to start due to excessive humidity. It is strictly prohibited to use a small generator without a rain - proof and noise - reducing outer cover in the rain. When not in use, store it in a dry and ventilated place.

6.Keep the area around the generator set clean. Avoid placing items that can generate acidic, alkaline, or other corrosive gases and vapors nearby.

7.Pay attention to summer maintenance skills. Since it is rather hot and humid in summer, regularly clean the dust and dirt in the ventilation ducts to keep them unobstructed, so as not to affect the normal ventilation and cooling of the generator.

8.Change the oil after the generator is shut down. Drain the oil from the machine body while the oil is still warm. At this time, the oil can be drained quickly and thoroughly. Generally, change the oil for the first time after the equipment has been in use for 20 hours.
