In the cold winter, don’t forget to prepare antifreeze for the generator set!

Ambient temperature has an impact on the use of generator sets. Now it is gradually entering the cold season. Haixing Power reminds everyone: prepare antifreeze in advance and add antifreeze in time!

Antifreeze is of great significance to the operation of generator sets

1. Anti-freezing

When the indoor and outdoor temperature is too low in winter, in order to ensure that the cooling system of the diesel generator is not frozen, generally speaking, the antifreeze temperature of the commonly used generator antifreeze is between minus 20 degrees Celsius and above 45 degrees Celsius. It is often reasonably selected according to the actual needs of different regions to meet the requirements of Cummins generators.

2. Prevent boiling

Diesel generators ensure that they will not boil prematurely at high temperatures. Generally, the boiling point of antifreeze is between 104 and 108 degrees, and when antifreeze is added to the cooling system and pressure is generated, the boiling point will be higher.

3. Anti-corrosion

The antifreeze of the generator set can reduce corrosion to the generator cooling system, thereby reducing water leakage caused by rust in the cooling system.

4. Anti-rust

Generator set antifreeze can avoid rust in the cooling system. If rust in the cooling system, it will cause the engine to accelerate wear and reduce the efficiency of the diesel engine heat conduction.

5. Anti-scaling

Since the coolant is used with deionized water, scaling and precipitation can be avoided, thereby protecting the diesel engine.

If the antifreeze liquid of the generator set cannot be replaced regularly, the social security of social security will arise: if the antifreeze liquid is not replaced for a long time, the anti-corrosion, rust and scale functions will be reduced, which will cause the cooling system to fail or even rust. Generally speaking, antifreeze is generally replaced every 1.5 to 2 years.
