2. Main Technical Parameters of Diesel Generator Heaters:

Insulation resistance: ≥10MΩ; Temperature control range: 25℃-85℃; Electrical strength: 1500V/1min; Made of high-quality stainless steel; Interfaces include threaded and hose clamp types; Equipped with a constant temperature control device, featuring constant temperature control heating function, with beautiful appearance, corrosion resistance, long service life and other characteristics.

 

3. Main Functions of Diesel Generator Heaters:

Constant temperature control heating to prevent diesel generators from being damaged by freezing in winter and enable quick start-up of diesel generator sets.

 

4. Classification of Diesel Generator Set Heaters:

Mainly divided into anti-condensation heaters, water jacket heaters, and air preheaters. Each has different functions, among which the water jacket heater is particularly important. Its function is to automatically heat the unit's coolant when the mains single-phase voltage is correctly connected. The air preheater is specially used to heat the air entering the combustion chamber to increase the starting success rate when the unit starts. The anti-condensation heater should be additionally installed when the unit is used in an environment with high humidity.

 

5. Precautions for Using Generator Heaters:

(1) When the unit is running, the water jacket heater must be stopped, otherwise the heater may be burned out.

(2) Ensure that the manual maintenance valve on the heater pipeline is in the open state.
