The cooling of generators becomes particularly crucial during summer. Over time, machines not only generate heat internally but also absorb heat from the surrounding air. Failure to cool them down promptly can potentially lead to machine malfunctions. Below are several points regarding how to dissipate heat from generators in high summer temperatures:
First, the temperature of the usage environment
To ensure the normal operation of the generator set, a good ventilation environment is required. In particular, it is necessary to ensure that the exhaust and smoke evacuation of the water tank are in good condition. At the same time, the floor of the engine room should be kept clean and the ventilation of the engine room should be good. Furthermore, if the generator is used outdoors, it should be placed in a shady area as much as possible. If this is not possible, a wooden board can be placed on top of the generator to prevent direct sunlight exposure. It is also important to note that when placing the wooden board, avoid covering the exhaust vent to ensure smooth exhaust.
II. Keep the cooling system clean and the coolant sufficient
Keeping the cooling system clean can effectively improve the heat dissipation efficiency of the generator set and provide a good operating environment for the generator set. Let's take the radiator as an example. If the exterior of the radiator is stained with dirt, oil, or if the cooling fins are deformed due to collision, the heat dissipation effect of the generator set will be affected. If such conditions are found during use, they should be cleaned or repaired in a timely manner.
When the generator set is in a dry and cold state, the coolant level should be between the high and low marks on the water tank, neither too high nor too low, otherwise it will affect the cooling effect of the generator set.
III. Avoid overload operation of generator sets
If the generator set operates at overload for an extended period, it can lead to a reduced cooling effect of the coolant, resulting in excessively high temperatures within the generator set and affecting its normal use.
