Design Considerations for Diesel Generator Soundproof Enclosures

When designing the structure of a diesel generator soundproof enclosure, a number of important factors should be considered to ensure the comprehensiveness and practicality of its functions. For example, an acoustic enclosure should be able to house a diesel generator, including the diesel engine, alternator, batteries, circuit breaker, control system and noise reduction components and other relevant parts and accessories. This requires the designers to give due consideration to the rational layout of individual components in order to leave the necessary space for acoustic noise reduction, and to ensure the overall structure is stable and coordinated.

Generally, the silent generator enclosures are designed as a rectangle. This design has strong adaptability and mobility. With superb manufacturing technique, the enclosures are suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. In order to save space and reduce length, the ends of the enclosure are sometimes cut at an oblique angle, which can be used as air intake and exhaust outlets. However, this design is easy to inhale or stir up dust on the ground. Meanwhile, it is difficult to discharge hot air to the outside when installed in the building.

Generator soundproof enclosure outline dimension design considerations

Length: The length of a soundproof diesel generator enclosure shall not be less than the total length of the diesel engine, radiator and alternator, plus the length of the noise reduction inlet and exhaust chambers, and the thickness of the sound-absorbing components.

Width: The width of the enclosure should be greater than or equal to the sum of the thickness of the diesel engine, radiator and sound absorbing components.

Height: The height of the generator enclosure should be greater than or equal to the sum of the thickness of diesel engine, radiator, anti-vibration components, exhaust pipe components, radiator inlet space and the sound absorber components.

Since low-noise diesel generator sets are usually in an elongated shape, the length of the control box should be given priority when the conditions of usage are met. At the same time, try to arrange components like the control system, switches, batteries and wiring in other spaces. For some too slender models, appropriately widening the enclosures not only makes it easy to carry, but also makes the operation of the generator more stable, while its appearance becomes more coordinated and beautiful.

When determining the height of a generator enclosure, it is necessary to consider the adding water operation of the radiator and the space for water level inspection. If necessary, the water injection port can be located on the top outside of the enclosure. The high temperature components (up to 600°C) like superchargers and exhaust pipes of some models may be close to the edges of the enclosures, so the enclosure dimension should be designed with sufficient distance to avoid high temperature damage to the sound-absorbing materials or enclosure walls during prolonged operation of the unit. In addition, when the unit is started and stopped, some components vibrate drastically, so the enclosure wall should also be kept enough distance from these components to prevent collision and abnormal sound.

Operation door and access door designs of diesel generator soundproof enclosure

An enclosure should provide quick, easy access to your generator in an emergency. It should offer enough space for technicians to access the machinery for maintenance and repairs. The door for operation is usually set at one end (intake side) or both sides of the generator, located in a relatively low operating ambient temperature area. The door for operation is usually equipped with tempered glass observation window, which is convenient to check the parameters of the unit in real time, and has a certain sound insulation effect.

The design of access door must fully consider the convenience and feasibility of meeting different maintenance and operation needs. Routine generator maintenance and service, such as replacing three types of filters and adjusting frequency and voltage, should be easy to operate. For longer maintenance and service projects, such as replacing batteries and cleaning radiators, it should also be as convenient as possible. It should be able to carry out relevant operations by simply disassembling some components if necessary.

The dustproof and weatherproof design of silent generator enclosure

When used outdoors, the enclosure design of the unit must fully consider the needs of dust and adverse weather protection. Intake and exhaust ports generally adopt louver structure. Installing rain eaves on the upper edge of the enclosure can effectively reduce the rain falling on the surface of the enclosure. Adding rubber gaskets to the edges of each door on the enclosure can help prevent rain from seeping into its interior and reduce noise caused by vibration. Drain holes at the bottom of the box help prevent rainwater accumulation.

The production process design of the diesel generator soundproof enclosure

The design of the diesel generator soundproof enclosure should pay attention to the good manufacture craft in the processing and assembly to improve production efficiency and reduce costs. The enclosure should be robust enough to ensure safety and reliability during lifting and transportation. The materials it uses should be able to reduce the risk of deformation. The design goal of the enclosure is to reduce manufacturing and transportation costs while minimizing the size.

Rotor Installation Procedure of Mercedes Benz Generator Set

According to the specific conditions of the generator's electromechanical equipment and the construction conditions, different methods can be used to install the generator rotor. For most medium - and small - sized generators, the shaft - connecting method is used to install the rotor. As a special tool, the extension (short) shaft for rotor installation is generally supplied by the manufacturer along with the generator.

The normal procedure for installing the rotor of a Mercedes - Benz generator set is as follows:

1.Place a 0.8 - 1.0 mm thick cardboard along the entire length of the lower half - arc inside the stator. Move it back and forth at any time during the entire process of rotor installation to check if the rotor collides with the stator.

2.Position 1: The rotor is equipped with a short shaft and a rear bearing seat. The wire rope is hung on the part of the rotor cylinder close to the center for balance, keeping the rotor horizontal. Align it with the center of the stator and insert it into the stator hole until the short shaft protrudes from the front end of the stator. Then, support it with a steel beam and lower the rotor.

3.Position 2: The wire rope is hung on the short shaft of the rotor. With the help of the overhead crane and the chain hoists on both sides of the stator, apply force towards the turbine side to continue inserting the rotor into the stator.

4.Position 3: After the coupling protrudes from the stator, support the rotor, remove the short shaft, and then move the wire rope to the coupling or the main shaft to further insert the rotor into the stator. When the journal reaches the corresponding position in the bearing recess, the bearing bush can be placed in. Subsequently, remove all the lifting tools. Clean the inside of the rear bearing and the gaskets and steel plates under the seat, and then place adjustment gaskets and insulating gaskets after cleaning.

In this method, the rear bearing seat of the generator is first assembled with the rotor. That is, a rubber gasket or cardboard gasket with a thickness of more than 0.5 mm is placed between the bearing alloy in the bearing bush and the journal to connect the rear bearing with the rotor journal as a whole, thus shifting the center of gravity of the entire rotor to the side of the rear bearing seat. Then, a short shaft is installed on the other end (coupling) of the rotor, and sleepers are placed on the foundation floor at the exciter end, covered with a steel plate about 10 mm thick. The steel plate is coated with butter for lubrication during dragging. The elevation of the steel plate should be equal to the designed elevation of the rear bearing base.

The Packing and Unloading of Diesel Generator Sets: What You Need to Know

After purchasing a diesel generator, you can choose a suitable deliver option based on your needs. Dingbo Power diesel gensets sell well at home and abroad. Today, we’d like to introduce the packing of diesel generators during transportation and how to unload them properly.

The packing of diesel generators

It’s worth noting that the packing of the generators vary depending on the modes of transportation. For long-distance transport, manufacturers usually use relatively firm and durable packaging to ensure the safety of diesel generator sets during transportation. For short distance transport, the modes of packaging can be more flexible which meet the diverse needs of customers. The following are three common packages for diesel generators during transportation:

Plastic film

It’s also called flexible packaging. At present, this kind of packaging is commonly used for open-type diesel generator sets. Typically, the film is wrapped around a diesel generator set from top to bottom three times. The cost of this package is low and most manufacturers provide this service.

Wooden case

Wooden case is made of wood, which is more expensive compared to the plastic film. This package is suitable for export and long-distance transportation. Wooden cases for export must be fumigated, so their prices are kind of expensive. This packaging can protect the equipment effectively, while allow easy inspection and loading and unloading.

Iron sheet case

It’s a type of packaging that use iron sheets to package the entire unit according to the customer's requests. The cost of this package is higher, but it is suitable for long-time and long-distance transportation.

What you need to pay attention to when unloading diesel generator sets

Please note that you should try to avoid driving on uneven ground when transporting diesel generators. Focus on keeping it upright and prevent the tilt Angle of the machine from exceeding 30 degrees. Severe vibration may damage the generator. When receiving the diesel generator set,  use a forklift to unload it.

When operating the forklift, make sure the width of the forks is sufficient to support the bottom of the generator, and the forks should be fully inserted into the bottom of the generator for handling. Pay special attention to the parts at the bottom of the generator when handling. After lifting the generator, move it to a level ground before unloading. Follow the following procedures to unload the generator:

Have the site prepared for the arrival of generator and choose a proper type of lifting device to unload and place the generator based on the site requirements. A crane or forklift can be used.

When unloading, use a forklift to support the bottom of the diesel generator, then lift it and place it on a flat ground. Make sure the diesel generator won’t tilt during the unloading. Otherwise, there may be a risk of falling, which can cause damage to the unit.

Unpack the generator. Take out the generator accessories box, and check whether the parts are complete.Than take out the generator rubber foot.

Prepare four rubber pads of the same thickness, and then use the forklift to lift the diesel generator set and place it on the prepared rubber pads.

Secure the generator base with the rubber mats. Ensure the rubber pads won’t shift when the diesel generator is running.

Prepare the water, diesel fuel and engine oil.

Technicians test the unit.

International transport of diesel generator sets may involve shipping logistics, customs clearance, and coordination with transport gacompanies. To make sure the smooth shipping, it’s necessary to prepare relevant documents in advance.

Tips on Diesel Generator Lubricating Oil Selection and Replacement

As essential backup or primary power sources, diesel generators’ stability and reliability directly impact continuous and safe electricity supply. Among regular generator maintenance practices, proper engine oil selection and timely replacement are vital. Today, Dingbo Power provides a guide to diesel generator oil selection criteria, performance metrics, replacement intervals, and best practices to ensure optimal engine health.

How to choose the best engine oil for your diesel generator?

Oil in a diesel generator plays an important role in ensuring the smooth operation and longevity of the engine. The oil lubricates all the moving parts of engine when running, reducing wear and friction. Additionally, it also helps in heat dissipation and may help to inhibit corrosion when unused for short periods. Thus, using the correct oil is essential for your generator’s health.

The oil types required by different diesel generators may vary. For instance, Cummins diesel generator sets demand proprietary oils to ensure peak lubrication and compatibility. Thus, check your manufacturer’s manual for the oil your diesel generator needs. Always adhere to the manufacturer’s recommendations.

The use environment and working conditions of diesel generator sets are also important factors to be considered when selecting lubricating oil. In cold climates, you can use multi-grade oils with superior low-temperature fluidity for quick cold starts of your generators. You can opt for oils with high thermal stability and strong wear resistance.

Several key diesel generator oil performance metrics

Generator lubricating oil performance indicators mainly include viscosity, flash point, wear resistance, oxidation resistance, corrosion resistance and cleanliness.

Viscosity is one of the most important performance indexes of lubricating oil. The right oil viscosity can form a stable oil film while the engine is running. This can reduce direct contact between metal components, reducing friction and wear. However, improper oil viscosity can adversely affect engine performance. Too high oil viscosity leads to generator start-up difficulties, poor cooling and heat dissipation, and increased energy consumption. Too low engine oil viscosity won’t be able to form enough oil film to effectively protect the engine.

Flash point is a safety index of lubricating oil storage, transportation and use. It’s also an important basis for controlling the fraction and volatility of engine oil. The flash point of engine oil should exceed the operating temperature of diesel generator by at least 50%.

Wear resistance of oil reduces friction between engine components, extending the diesel genset's lifespan. Oxidation resistance of engine oil prevents oil degradation under high temperatures. The oil corrosion resistance protects metal surfaces from acidic byproducts. Oil cleanliness keeps engines clean by preventing sludge and carbon deposits.

Diesel generator oil change intervals and oil replacement guide

How often should you change the engine oil for diesel generator? Check the generator oil change frequency recommended in your manual. Typically, replace the oil after first 50 hours' post-commissioning or major overhaul. A standby diesel generator used during power outages usually needs fewer oil changes than one used regularly. If the generator is used in harsh environments, such as dust and humidity, it may need more oil changes.

Position the generator on a level surface. Warm up the engine for 5-10 minutes to improve oil flow. To draining old oil, place a containment vessel beneath the drain plug, remove plug and allow complete drainage (15-20 mins). Install a new oil filter. Add fresh oil to the specified level via the filler neck. Run the engine briefly, then recheck levels.

Proper engine oil management is non-negotiable for diesel generator longevity. At Dingbo Power, we offer a wide range of high-quality generator sets, which can meet your specific needs.

What Is Alternator in Diesel Generator?

In modern times, diesel generators have become standard equipment across various industries. When grid power fails or becomes insufficient, diesel generator sets provide continuous and stable power supply for businesses or factories. A diesel generator set consists of three main components: a diesel engine, an alternator, and a control system. So, what exactly is an alternator?

About AC generators  

Alternators can be categorized into two main types: DC generators and AC generators. AC generators are further subdivided into synchronous generators and asynchronous generators. In modern power stations, synchronous generators have become the most widely used type due to their unique excitation methods and ability to provide both active power and reactive power simultaneously. In contrast, asynchronous generators feature simpler construction and easier operation. However, their lack of independent excitation windings prevents them from supplying reactive power to loads and requires them to draw lagging magnetizing current from the grid. This necessitates parallel operation with other synchronous machines or connection with multiple capacitors, limiting their applications primarily to small automated equipment and DC power supply needs for urban trams, electrolysis, and electrochemical industries.

Working principle of alternator/AC generator  

An AC generator is a key component of a diesel generator. It is used to convert mechanical energy into electrical energy and responsible for generating the electrical power that is output by the generator. An AC generator mainly comprises multiple alternating N-S pole permanent magnets made of magnetic material (called rotor) and an armature coil made of silicon cast iron with multiple series-wound coil groups (called stator).

The working principle is that the rotor, driven by the diesel engine, axially cuts magnetic flux lines. The alternately arranged magnetic poles in the stator create alternating magnetic fields in the coil core. With each full rotation of the rotor, the direction and magnitude of magnetic flux change multiple times. This magnetic field variation induces alternating current in the coils, which is then output through the stator windings. To protect electrical equipment and maintain normal operation, the current produced by the generator requires regulation and control through voltage regulators.

How to choose the right alternator?  

Most modern AC generators are brushless types with rotating excitation systems. When selecting an alternator for your diesel generator set, ensure that it is mechanically compatible with the diesel engine. Electrically, the alternator should provide required kW output at specified voltage, frequency, ambient temperature, and altitude, while being capable of withstanding transient loads without exceeding maximum allowable voltage dips. Typically, an Automatic Voltage Regulator (AVR) is provided as part of the alternator to ensure compatibility. Brushless AC generators use rotating exciter generators to produce the excitation current and voltage required for magnetizing the main rotor. The AVR controls rotor excitation based on sensed generator output voltage. The alternator speed must match the diesel engine speed - lower speeds require more rotor poles to maintain fixed 50Hz or 60Hz frequency regardless of rotational speed.

There are typically two connection methods between diesel engines and AC generators: flexible connection using couplings, and rigid connection using high-strength bolts to join the generator's rigid connecting plate with the engine flywheel. Currently, rigid connection is more prevalent in practical applications. After installation, various sensors (e.g., water temperature sensors) monitor the diesel engine's operating status and display data to operators. When parameters reach or exceed preset limits, the control system issues warnings. If operators fail to respond promptly, the system automatically shuts down for protection. Sensors play crucial roles in receiving and feeding back information, while the unit's control system analyzes data and executes protective measures.

In a word, alternator is a key component in diesel generator and it produces electrical energy from the mechanical energy supplied to it by the engine. When buying a diesel-powered generator, selecting the right size and type of alternator is essential.

Learn More About Electronic Governor for Diesel Generator

Diesel generator sets are indispensable power generation equipment in modern society. The performance of the diesel engine speed control system determines the overall electrical characteristics of the generator set, such as frequency response, voltage regulation, and load-bearing capacity. As one of the core components of diesel generators, the electronic governor plays a vital role in power regulation and maintaining stable operation. Below is an overview of the working principle, features, and applications of electronic governors for diesel gensets.

Working Principle

The electronic governor primarily consists of a controller, actuator, and sensors. It achieves precise engine speed control by receiving and processing electrical signals. Sensors (typically using Hall elements or magnetic induction components) collect engine speed signals. The controller processes these signals, performs calculations, and outputs control commands to the actuator. The actuator then adjusts the fuel injection volume of the diesel generator to regulate speed.

Specifically, when the engine speed or load changes, the sensors immediately detect these variations and transmit corresponding electrical signals to the controller. The controller compares the actual speed signal with a preset reference value, calculates the deviation, and sends an adjustment signal to the actuator. The actuator modifies the fuel supply accordingly, restoring the engine speed to the preset value.

Features

This operational mechanism ensures rapid response and high control accuracy. The electronic governor can swiftly detect and address minor speed fluctuations, maintaining optimal generator performance. It is widely used in industrial diesel engines and diesel generator sets.

In modern generator sets, electronic governors are often considered standard components due to their advantages, including enhanced stability, reduced fuel consumption, and lower maintenance costs. Their importance is particularly evident in scenarios requiring continuous operation or facing significant load variations.

However, not all diesel generating sets are equipped with electronic governors. Traditional mechanical governors may still be used in low-end or specialized applications. Users should assess their specific needs when selecting a generator set.

Usage guidelines:

Before starting the diesel generator, ensure proper connections between the governor's sensors, controller, and actuator, and verify the power supply to relevant circuits. Set the desired speed reference value and calibrate the system. After startup, the governor automatically monitors speed signals, adjusts fuel injection, and stabilizes operation. Continuously monitor the governor's status during operation, address anomalies promptly, and perform regular maintenance.

Troubleshooting:

If the generator fails to start or exhibits unstable speed, first check the governor's power supply. Inspect sensor connections for looseness, interference, or damage—use a multimeter to measure sensor resistance. For controller issues, try a reboot or replacement. If the actuator malfunctions, inspect the fuel injection system and replace components if necessary.

Conclusion

With its precision, responsiveness, and ease of maintenance, the electronic governor holds a critical position in modern power generation equipment. As technology advances, future iterations of electronic governors are expected to deliver even greater performance, further ensuring the reliable operation of diesel generator sets.

What Is the Minimum Load Ratio for Diesel Generator?

As a common backup power supply equipment, diesel generators are widely used in various important places, such as hospitals, data centers, and commercial buildings. In practical use, operating a diesel generator at excessively low loads can negatively impact its performance and service life. What is the minimum load ratio of a diesel generator?

Basic principles and load requirements of diesel generators

A diesel generator produces electricity by a combination of a diesel engine with an electric generator (commonly known as an alternator). To maintain normal operation, it requires a certain load. Both excessively low and high loads can damage the generator set. The load ratio refers to the proportion of the generator’s output power relative to its rated capacity. For stable operation and extended lifespan, the load ratio of diesel generating sets should ideally be maintained between 60% and 80% of the rated power. Within this range, the power generators can operate efficiently, avoid overloads, and minimize energy waste.

Manufacturers of diesel gensets typically specify a minimum allowable load (expressed as a percentage of rated capacity) to guide users. For example, if the minimum load is set to 40%, the generator will operate at 40% even if the required power is only 30%. Excess power may charge batteries, supply delayed loads, or be wasted. Operating below the minimum load threshold can degrade performance or even cause complete failure.

Key considerations for low-load operation:

Diesel-powered generators should not run unloaded for extended periods (generally no more than 15 minutes). After startup, a 3-minute warm-up and 5-minute voltage stabilization are recommended before applying load.

Operating diesel power generators below 50% of rated power increases risks such as excessive oil consumption, carbon buildup, higher failure rates, and shortened overhaul cycles. A minimum load of 30% is advised to ensure proper engine temperature, optimal component fit, reduced carbon deposits, and prevention of early cylinder wear.

Impacts of low load on diesel generators

There is a common misconception among diesel generator users - lower loads are safer for generators. However, prolonged low-load operation of diesel gensets can cause significant harm:

Increased fuel consumption: Incomplete combustion at low loads raises fuel consumption and waste, leading to carbon buildup and reduced efficiency.

Engine overheating: Inadequate cooling at low loads may cause overheating, damaging engine components like pistons and cylinders.

Insufficient battery charging: Low-load operation may fail to recharge the battery fully, shortening its lifespan or causing failure.

Higher emissions: Incomplete combustion increases harmful exhaust emissions, polluting the environment and posing health risks.

How to avoid low-load operation of diesel generators?

Optimize load planning: Match the generator’s capacity to actual power demands. Avoid prolonged low-load or overload scenarios.

Regular generator maintenance: Perform routine checks, clean carbon deposits, replace oil, and maintain batteries to ensure optimal generator performance.

Select appropriate generators: Choose a generator with suitable power output for your needs. Oversized or undersized units increase risks of inefficient operation.

Smart monitoring systems: Use diesel generators with a real-time monitoring system to track load levels, fuel efficiency, and emissions, enabling proactive adjustments.
