4. Installation
A diesel generator is a high-speed piece of rotating equipment. To ensure reliability and safety the installation must be given thorough attention. Before installing the unit, we must consider all environmental factors. Generator installation must comply with local building codes, fire regulations and environmental requirements. Use these instructions as a general guide only, the complete installation must comply with all local, state, and federal building codes, fire ordinances, and any other applicable regulations.

4.1. Noise consideration


Because noise eafects the surrounding environment, it is important to consider noise factors when installing a generator. The generator has been acoustically treated, but if more stringent local environmental specifications require additional noise attenuation, please consider adding noise barriers or the construction of special rooms, etc.

4.2. Acoustic Material consideration


Consider the following when selecting acoustic material: Foam is not recommended as an acoustic material, because of its low density it is a poor acoustic insulator. And not all foams are fire retardant. A concrete block enclosure is an excellent barrier in regards to noise reduction. The blocks may be filled with sand to make the wall denser. However, concrete housing tends to become hot and supplementary cooling methods will be required for correct engine performance.

4.3 Fire protection


Each country has its own rules and regulations controlling the design of buildings to prevent fires. Fire departments are reliable sources of information to determine installation compliance. The installation of generators, must comply with the provisions of the local fire department. Fire protection systems must be consistent with the requirements of the relevant authorities.

1. The genset room cannot be used for storage. 2. Because of the fuel used the genset room must be consdered as a key target area for fire prevention. 3. The generator must be treated as a high-temperature device, exhaust pipe temperatures can reach 500C.

OPERATOR & MAINTENANCE MANUAL

4.4 Mounting Arrangement


The base is used to support the unit and its accessories, its carrying capacity should be 2 to 5 times the total mass of the generator, but also able to absorb the unbalanced force generated by the machine. The generator is specially designed to minimize the vibration of the unit. If an installation requires greater noise and vibration attenuation, the generator should be installed in a manner that reduces the impact of vibration on buildings. The base height is calculated as follows: The depth H of base is calculated as the basis:
H= K G (mm) D W L

K: Safety factor, typically value is 2; G: Genset weight; D: Cement density, typically value is 2400; W: Base width; L: Base length; The Figure below shows a typical foundation installation.

PAGE-36

DESCRIPTION

OPERATOR & MAINTENANCE MANUAL

When designing the base, we need to pay specific attention to the following: The generator base must be isolated from the building foundation. Depth and width to meet the basic requirements. Foundation must be strong enough to take the impact and running force of the machine. Ensure that no vibration is transmitted to the building foundation when the unit starts. Ease of maintenance and servicability operations. When calculating the length L and width B of the base allow an additional 100-300mm on each side. The base should be higher than engine room floor by 20-300mm.

Incorrect installation or service can result in severe personal injury or death, and/or equipment damage. Only qualified service personnel should be allowed to perform electrical and mechanical component installation.

Mounting the Generator The generator is mounted on a steel-base tank that provides adequate support. Vibration isolators are recommended between the base tank and the foundation to provide stable operation and avoid installation damage. Bolting the generator directly to the floor or foundation can result in excessive noise and vibration, and possible damage to the generator and floor foundation. Mount the generator on a substantial and level base such as a concrete pad. Use 20mm anchored mounting bolts to secure the vibration isolators to the base tank using flat or bevel washers and a hexagonal nut for each bolt. The isolators should be located as shown on the generator outline drawing.

Never install the genset near combustible materials. Locate the genset such that combustible material can not accumulate under the machine. The possibility exists of fire or explosion, causing damage to the equipment and or severe bodily harm or even death!

PAGE-37

OPERATOR & MAINTENANCE MANUAL

4.5 Outdoor Installation


Install the generator in an area that is free of debris, and overhead obstructions. Make sure the generator is on secure level ground so that it cannot slide or shift around. Also install the generator in a manner so that the exhaust gases will not be discharged in the direction of nearby buildings. The installation site must be relatively free from moisture and dust. All electrical equipment should be protected from excessive moisture. Failure to do so will result in deterioration of the insulation and will result in short circuits. Foreign materials such as dust, sand, lint and abrasive materials have a tendency to cause excessive wear to engine and alternator parts.

Pay close attention to ventilation when operating the generator inside confined spaces and enclosed areas. The engine exhaust contains noxious elements. Engine exhaust must be routed to a ventilated area. The canopy is designed to provide cooling and ventilation for the generator. Several factors should be carefully considered when selecting a location for installation. For effective cooling and maintenance, the generator should be mounted on a hard, flat, non-combustible, level surface. A concrete pad is ideal and provides a secure installation. The installation area should be well ventilated. Drainage must be adequate to ensure the concrete pad is free from standing water. Installation should prevent build-up of leaves, grass, sand, snow etc. Serviceable access should be provided to allow the opening or removal of access panels/doors for service and maintenance. Keep the generator at least one metre away from buildings and other structures.

CAUTION:

4.6 Indoor Installation


Exhaust gases from diesel engines are extremely poisonous. Whenever an engine is installed indoor, the exhaust fumes must be vented to the outside. The engine should be installed at least 1000mm from any outside wall. Using an exhaust pipe which is too long or too small can cause excessive back pressure which will cause the engine to heat excessively and possibly burn the valves. Room Size If the generator is installed indoors, it must be protected from the environment while having good ventilation and cooling. Some considerations for planning a room or enclosure are: Never use the generator room for storage. The room must be large enough to contain the generator and all the accessories. 1200mm must be allowed on the two sides and 1000mm in front of the engine for service access. Allow clearance between hot parts of the system (exhaust) and structural members of the building (see figure below). On the generator end of the engine, allow a space equal to the length of the generator. The generator installation must comply with all of the current relevant standards and local authority requirements.

PAGE-40

OPERATOR & MAINTENANCE MANUAL

Room Location A separate building located on the site away from the main building is the most desirable. Maintain the building at a satisfactory temperature Ensure the generator is installed in a way that it will not compromise reliability from any emergency loads.

WARNING: The floor foundation load-carrying capacity must be checked and must not exceed the weight of the generator and its associated equipment.

Note The generator can be used at temperatures between -15 to 50C, An ambient temperature that is outside these temperatures will cause damage to the equipment, when the temperature is too low, the metal will become very weak; when the temperature is too high, the engine temperature may rise to a point where damage is caused to the engine and other components such as piston rings. In order to protect the engine, when the ambient temperature is around 50C, or close to -15C, the equipment load must be reduced or engine life may be compromised.

4.7 MECHANICAL CONNECTIONS


After considering all applicable codes and laws and finding a suitable location for the generator set, the installer should consider the mechanical connections that will be necessary to make during installation. The four (4) systems that could require mechanical connections are the following: Fuel system Lubrication system Exhaust system Ventilation and cooling system 4.7.1 Fuel system The fuel system feeds fuel from the fuel tank to the combustion chamber. Its an important part of engine. The general fuel system of diesel engine is shown in the diagram below:

PAGE-41

OPERATOR & MAINTENANCE MANUAL

Fuel from the tank flows in the fuel lines and is injected from the nozzle via the fuel injection pump. Overflow fuel returns to the tank. The system includes filters to protect it from entrance of air, water and dust. While the engine is running, fuel is fed into the pump by the fuel feed pump after passing through the fuel filter where any foreign matter is removed. The fuel camshaft actuates the injection pump and force feeds fuel to the injection nozzle through the injection pipe. Fuel is then sprayed through the nozzle into the combustion chamber. The fuel discharged after lubricating and cooling the injection nozzle is returned to the fuel tank through the over-flow pipe. Base Tank Base mounted fuel tanks are used to store fuel directly underneath the Genset, eliminating the need for a remote main fuel supply tank and/or auxiliary fuel transfer pumps. This mounting arrangement offers the convenience of having a fuel supply tank mounted at the generator. These tanks are designed to be contained in a rectangular base on which the engine-generator set is mounted. Generally, these tanks only increase the height of the generator set since the tank base is usually matched to the generator skid dimension. Remote tank Remote tanks are used when the engine fuel pump does not have the capacity to draw the fuel from the base tank; or the base tank is overhead and presents problems of high fuel head pressure for the system. In high ambient conditions, the day tank temperature might need to be considered. Warm fuel returning from the engine fuel injection pump should not be returned to the day tank if possible. As fuel temperature increases, fuel density and viscosity decrease, reducing maximum power output and lubrication of fuel handling parts such as pumps and injectors. This may be avoided by returning the fuel back to the supply tank rather than the day tank. Engines need to maintain some of the oil pump pressure and return oil pressure when the engine is working. When using a remote fuel tank, the height difference between the pump
PAGE-42

OPERATOR & MAINTENANCE MANUAL

and the fuel tank generates a differential pressure, the differential pressure will affect the work of the engine. When the fuel tank is above the pump, correct fuel return may become an issue, and the tubing will have to be able to withstand a positive pressure. If the differential pressure is too large, fuel leaks may become a concern. When the fuel tank is below the pump, the fuel supply may become an issue, and the tubing will have to be able to withstand a negative pressure. If the differential pressure is too large, fuel supply may become a concern. Fuel Filter and Fuel/Water Separator The fuel filter located between the tank and the injection pump prevents foreign matter from entering the injection pump. A standard filter uses a paper element (filtration diameter less than 15). Normally filter elements or cartridges must be changed every 400 hours. Air trapped in the filter is purged by the vent plug. Fuel-water separator is a device designed to separate gross amounts of fuel and suspended solids from the wastewater effluents of fuel refineries, petrochemical plants, chemical plants, natural gas processing plants and other industrial sources. Three-way valves Valves used to switch between the base tank and a remote tank. Normally, the three-way valves are open to the base tank. When a remote tank is used simply open both of the valves to allow connection to the remote tank. The figure shown below shows the three-way valves in the default location connected to the base tank.

4.7.2 Lubrication system All moving parts of the engine must be lubricated to function correctly. For this purpose, the lubricating oil circulating through the engine has a number of functions. In addition to reducing friction, the oil cools the engine, controls expansion and dispersion of bearing areas, provides a sealing action, prevents rusting, seals out dust, and purifies products generated in the cylinders by incomplete combustion.

PAGE-43

OPERATOR & MAINTENANCE MANUAL

Warning Poor quality oil will shorten engine life. Use only the specified lubricating oils. Important points regarding lubricating oil are described below. CLASSIFICATION OF ENGINE OIL SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) Standards are generally used to classify engine oil viscosities. Viscosity is a principal property of oil, the higher the viscosity, the thicker the oil film formed over the metal surface will be and the lower the viscosity, the thinner the film thickness becomes. Viscosity varies with temperature. The higher the temperature, the lower the viscosity and vice versa. Engine oil should have the appropriate viscosity and have properties which are not affected by viscosity changes caused by temperature changes. In other words, engine oil must have a high viscosity index. Multi grade oils having relatively low viscosity (For example SAE 10W-30) can provide superior lubrication at both low and high temperatures. Such oils are available commercially for all-season use. Oil viscosity changes in cold temperature as crystallization of the wax element contained in oil proceeds, and fluidity is finally lost. Incorrect selection of oil cannot only increase resistance for cold starting but also affect lubrication of each part. Oils for low temperature, containing additives for lowering the pour point, should be used. The following diagram shows how to select lubricants.

Note
The use of synthetic oil is not recommended.

PAGE-44

OPERATOR & MAINTENANCE MANUAL

4.7.3 Exhaust system Exhaust system components installed on any genset must be approved and correctly installed to meet the codes and regulations required by local government. A muffler and spark arrester have been installed in your genset. If a generator is used in a forest, on brush or grass covered unimproved land it must be equipped with a Spark Arrestor. It is the responsibility of the generator owner or operator to maintain the entire exhaust system in good working condition. Engine exhaust must be routed away from building intake vents, windows, doorways and other openings. Because the exhaust discharge is in a vertical position it may be possible for raim water to enter the muffler. A drain valve has been provided at the base of the muffler to remove any unwanted water. This process must be completed whilst the engine is shut down, as it may cause injury. 4.7.4 Ventilation and cooling system As the generator produces a high volume of heat, ventilation and heat dissipation must be carefully considered. The generator has been specially designed to operate in ambient temperatures to 50C. If the generator is used outdoors, ensure that no objects (such as plastic bags, etc.) are allowed to block the air inlet. The engine exhaust temperature is extremely high, do not vent towards any objects that cannot withstand high temperatures. The machine is provided with cabinet filters that must be cleaned regularly. In dusty environments, the cabinet filters must be cleaned daily. Remove the cabinet filters as the follow steps: Loosen the philips head screw at the top of the grille, remove the limit stop, and then slide the air filter out. If the generator is used indoors, make sure that there is adequate ventilation to the air inlets and outlets, and that the engine's exhaust is ducted out of room.

4.8 Load Connections


4.8.1 Sizing Load Cables Selecting the load cables, number of cores and diameter, based on its allowable amperage and the distance between the generator and the load is critical. Correct selection should be carefully calculated. It is recommended that there is a maximum 5% marginal drop only for the rated voltage between the load and generator via the cables. This should be considered when selecting the cable.

DANGER If the load exceeds the allowable amperage overheating may cause damage to cables. If the cables are too long, there will be excessive voltage drop. It may result in fire, personal injury, reduced performance or damage to machinery.

4.8.2 Connecting Load Cable The generator is ready for field connections. The cables should be connected to the Main wiring terminals which are located inside the field wiring cabinet.

WARNING: Before connection, the following precautionary measures must be taken Connection must only be carried out by a licensed electrician. Battery must be disconnected. The control power switch must be set to the OFF position.

4.11 ATS Connections


The generator is equipped with an Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) plug on the left side of the control panel. The customer can select an appropriate automatic transfer switch (ATS) and connect it to the generator. Connect the wire between the generator set and ATS plug. Connect the wires between the generator main wiring terminals and the ATS wiring terminals. Connect the wires between the mains supply wiring terminals and the ATS wiring terminals. Connect the wires between the load wiring terminals and the ATS wiring terminals.

WARNING: Do not operate the generator before connection of the ATS.

The ATS is controlled by the PLC module which can monitor the incoming AC mains supply. If the mains supply is satisfactory the load is run through the ATS and the generator will not run. On the contrary the generator will run if the mains power is abnormal. THE ATS LOCATION IS IMPORTANT, THE FOLLOWING MUST BE OBSERVED: The ATS should be located inside the building near the main switchboard. Locate the ATS in a clean, dry, well ventilated location, away from excessive heat. When the ambient air is above 40C (104F), fuses and circuit breakers must be de-rated. Allow adequate working space around the transfer switch. Never install control wires in the same conduit with mains wiring. ATS and all equipment must be installed in accordance with relevant local and national codes and regulations. If the ATS is mounted outside, it must be protected from the environment. Do not mount the ATS on the generator. Do not mount the ATS where flammable liquids or vapours are present.
