Diesel Generator Usage in Desert Areas

Diesel generators are widely used as backup power sources in various fields due to their excellent performance advantages. Therefore, the precautions for generators vary in different environments. For example, when used in alpine regions, attention should be paid to the cold protection of the unit, and in hot regions, attention should be paid to ventilation, heat dissipation and cooling. Next, let's explain what preparations need to be made for diesel generators to be used in desert areas. The most important issue in the desert is wind and sand, so we must take good sand prevention measures. The specific operations will be taught by Dingbo Power Generator Manufacturer.

Desert areas have strong wind and sand all year round, which undoubtedly has a great impact on diesel generators. Wind and sand may reduce the working efficiency of the unit, even cause unit wear and shorten the service life of the unit, so it is necessary to take good sand prevention measures. So how to take sand prevention measures for diesel generators? It mainly involves filtering the air filter at the air inlet end of the unit, but this can only meet general environments.

Therefore, for diesel generator sets in desert areas, it is advisable to consider covering the air filter cap with fine-pored gauze, which can more effectively prevent sand and dust. Some customers believe that if the unit is used in a machine room, even in desert areas, it will not be affected by wind and sand, so they do not take sand prevention protection for the unit. In fact, this is a one-sided idea. Even indoors, the sand content in the air in desert areas is much higher than that in general areas, and the air filter of the unit cannot completely isolate these wind and sand. Therefore, in order to protect the unit well, please be sure to earnestly implement the above sand prevention measures. While implementing sand prevention measures, maintenance should be carried out as frequently as possible, which is beneficial to the service life of the diesel generator and reduces unnecessary wear and tear of the diesel generator.

Then, what type of diesel generator set is better to choose in desert areas? The editor of Dingbo Power Generator Manufacturer recommends air-cooled diesel engines, which have a wide power range. They are assembled with internationally renowned brushless all-copper self-excited generators, plus a specially made sand-proof mobile rain cover, etc., making them very suitable for use in special areas. Such air-cooled diesel generator sets adopt air-cooled forced cooling, which does not require water tank filling for cooling. This avoids the problem of diesel generator burnout due to high water temperature when the temperature is high, and also prevents the cylinder block of the generator set from being frozen and damaged due to water tank freezing at low temperatures at night, resulting in the generator set being unable to be used normally.
