What factors should be considerate when genset is working on cold climate?

Have you ever thought the diesel generator performance will be different when they are working on different climate environments? When diesel generator sets are to be installed in an area that will experience cold temperatures, it is important to take into account several factors that can effect operation in cold climates.
The below information discusses factors encountered for generator systems operating in cold temperatures and recommends to the system designer certain accessories that should be included in their specification.
1. The lowest temperature reaches to 0℃, We suggest adding following spare parts.

①Water Jacket Heater
Prevent the cooling liquid in cylinder block from freezing in low temperature and cause the cylinder block break.

②Anti-condensation Heater
Prevent the hot air in alternator from condensation because of low temperature and destroy the insulation of alternator.

2. The lowest temperature below -10℃, we suggest adding following spare parts.

①Water jacket heater
Prevent the cooling liquid in cylinder block from freezing in low temperature and cause the cylinder block break

②Anti-condensation heater
Prevent the hot air in alternator from condensation because of low temperature and destroy the insulation of alternator.

③Oil heater
Prevent the oil’s viscosity increasing because of low temperature and make the generator hard starting

④Battery heater
Prevent the battery’s internal chemical reaction turn to weaken because of temperature reducing and make the battery’s discharge ability reduce largely

⑤Air heater
Prevent the incoming air in too low temperature and cause the hard combustion

⑥Fuel heater
Prevent the fuel in too low temperature and make it hard for the fuel to compression Ignition.
