Necessary Insulation Measures for a Diesel Generator Set in Extreme Low Temperatures


Extreme temperature environments, such as extremely high temperature, low temperature, dry or high humidity environment, will have some negative impact on the operation of diesel generator sets.

 

Considering the approaching winter, AGG will take extreme low temperature environment as an example this time to talk about the negative impact that extreme low temperature may cause to the diesel generator set, and the corresponding insulation measures.

 

Possible Negative Impacts of Extreme Low Temperature on Diesel Generator Sets

 

Cold starts: Diesel engines are difficult to start in extremely cold temperatures. Low temperatures thicken the fuel, making it more difficult to ignite. This results in longer starting times, excessive wear on the engine, and increased fuel consumption.
