Starting diesel generators in cold weather often faces problems such as excessive cooling and increased oil viscosity, leading to difficulty in starting. To meet this challenge, cryogenic diesel generators ensure smooth starting even in very cold environments by utilizing closed type enclosures, heating devices, and special designs.
Features of Low Temperature Diesel Generators:
- Closed-type casing design: Through the closed shell design, a protective barrier is formed to keep the temperature inside the diesel generator higher than the outside temperature. This design effectively reduces the impact of low temperature on the performance of the generator and ensures normal operation in cold environments.
- Heating device: Equipped with a high-efficiency heating device that provides heating for the oil, generator body, cylinder head, and other key parts. The heating power is up to 5.5 kilowatts, helping raise equipment temperature before starting and reducing friction resistance and motor burden.
- Automatic constant temperature control: The built-in chip of the heating device automatically adjusts and maintains heating within the suitable range, stopping heating when complete to avoid equipment damage from overheating.
- Easy to operate: The heating device is simple and user-friendly, allowing the generator to quickly adapt to low-temperature environments and start smoothly.
- Customized design: Can be customized for plateau areas and special environments to ensure reliable starting and stable operation under low air pressure and high altitude.
- Electric start: Equipped with electric start system for easier operation and quick starting even in very cold environments, improving user convenience.
- Adapt to different temperatures: Users can choose different types of oil and fuel for various low-temperature environments, further improving engine performance in cold weather.
The Working Principle of the Low Temperature Diesel Generator:
The closed casing design forms a temperature-controlled environment, preventing external cold air from affecting the internal temperature. The heating device uses electric heating to raise the temperature of the engine, oil, and other key components, reducing friction and mechanical load during startup. An intelligent chip precisely regulates heating power and temperature to ensure optimal starting conditions and avoid overheating.
When the heating device is activated, the temperature difference between the inside and outside is gradually reduced, improving oil fluidity and enhancing fuel atomization, which increases the efficiency and success rate of engine starting. This mechanism enables smooth starting at -20°C or even lower.
Application Areas of Low Temperature Diesel Generators:
- Emergency power supply in cold areas: Suitable for the Arctic Circle, high altitudes, and cold regions such as Russia, Canada, Alaska, and China’s northwest, widely used to ensure power supply in winter or extremely cold weather.
- Plateau areas: Customized versions adapt to higher altitude and low air pressure, meeting the needs of low oxygen and high cold environments.
- Military and field operations: Ideal for military, scientific research expeditions, and operations in harsh cold climates.
- Building and construction industry: Provides stable power support for sites requiring continuous operation in cold weather, ensuring safety of equipment and operators.
- Remote areas and emergency power: Offers emergency power in grid-remote locations, protecting infrastructure, medical facilities, and other critical needs.
- Ships and offshore platforms: Ensures reliable electricity supply for vessels and oil platforms operating at sea or in high latitude cold environments.
