1. Rainproof facilities: The outdoor environment is constantly changing, especially rainwater and moisture, which may cause damage to the electrical components of the generator set, and even lead to short circuits or corrosion. Therefore, it is necessary to build a professional rainproof shed or use a waterproof cover for the generator set to ensure effective protection of key parts such as the top, sides, air inlet, and exhaust outlet of the generator, while keeping the drainage system unobstructed and avoiding water accumulation.
2. Ventilation and dry environment: A good ventilation environment helps to dissipate heat from the generator set and prevent overheating and damage; A dry environment can reduce the erosion of equipment by moisture. The generator set should be placed away from walls, trees, and other obstacles, ensuring sufficient space for air circulation around and avoiding placing the generator in low-lying or damp areas.
3. Keep away from flammable and explosive materials: The generator set may generate high temperatures and possible sparks during operation. If there are flammable and explosive materials nearby, it is highly likely to cause fire or explosion accidents. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure that the generator set maintains a sufficient safe distance from flammable and explosive places such as fuel storage areas, chemical warehouses, and timber piles, and to set up clear warning signs.
4. Safety distance: Reserve sufficient workspace for operators to facilitate daily maintenance and quick evacuation in emergency situations. According to the size and operational requirements of the generator set, plan the layout reasonably to ensure that at least a certain width of safe passage is reserved around the generator.
5. Fuel management: Store fuel (such as diesel) separately in safe, ventilated, and fire-resistant containers, away from generator sets and sources of ignition. Regularly inspect fuel containers for leaks, comply with relevant regulations for fuel storage and transportation, and ensure safe use.
6. Regular inspection and maintenance: Regular inspection and maintenance can timely detect and eliminate potential faults, extending the service life of the generator set. The inspection includes battery status, oil level, coolant level, air filter cleanliness, cable connections, etc.
7. Operating standards: Operators need to receive professional training and be familiar with the working principles, operating procedures, and emergency shutdown procedures of the generator set. Conduct practical exercises under guidance to ensure proficiency and safety in starting, operating, and shutting down the generator set.
8. Comply with local regulations: Different regions may have specific regulations, standards, or restrictions on the use of generator sets, such as noise control, emission standards, etc. Before use, it is necessary to thoroughly understand and comply with local laws and regulations, and apply for necessary licenses or certifications if necessary to ensure legal and compliant operation.
