CCSN Power: The Best Solution for Diesel Generator Set Installation

What is the best solution for the installation of diesel generator sets? CCSN Power ：The best countermeasure for unit assembly is to use concrete foundation to place and fix the unit, which can make the unit run smoothly and reduce vibration.

The concrete foundation shall meet the following requirements:

The basic bearing capacity of concrete should be designed at 1.5 times of the unit's own weight, so as to support the weight of the entire unit and the dynamic impact load caused by the unbalanced force during the operation of the unit; the subsoil under the concrete foundation must also have sufficient bearing strength to withstand the unit above it and the basic foundation weight of concrete.

The concrete foundation should be as smooth and smooth as possible, with sufficient hardness and stability to prevent its deformation from affecting the coaxiality of diesel generators, main alternators and accessories, etc.

The concrete foundation should have the function of shock absorption, which can greatly absorb the vibration that occurs during the operation of the unit, and try to prevent the vibration from being transmitted to the foundation and walls. If the unit is assembled on the floor of a building, it is recommended to install a spring shock absorber between the unit base and the concrete foundation.

When constructing concrete foundations, it is necessary to reserve generator power distribution and output cable trenches; if conditions permit, a sewage trough can be reserved to facilitate the discharge of waste water and oil.

The height of the concrete foundation is generally 150-200 mm, and the area should not be smaller than the unit base.

Note: Concrete foundation is a reliable and simple installation method, and it is recommended that users prefer to use it. When pouring the concrete foundation, make sure that the surface of the concrete is flat and free of any damage. It is recommended that the user use a spirit level or similar instrument to assemble the unit and its smoke exhaust device.
