Precautions for Long-Term Storage of Automatic Diesel Generators

Time:2025-12-24 16:17:28  Edit:HuaQuan  Traffic Index:20
Automatic diesel generators are mainly used in fields with strict requirements for continuous power supply. They can provide power outage detection and automatically start operation to ensure power continuity.
 
I. What is an automatic diesel generator?
An automatic diesel generator is an all-weather power guardian that can start, switch, and stop on its own. It integrates an automatic transfer switch and an intelligent controller, and in the event of a power outage, it can start the diesel generator set within seconds and automatically provide continuous power to your critical equipment, achieving unattended, uninterrupted power protection.
 
II. Huaquan Power is a Professional Automatic Diesel Generator Manufacturer in China
Huaquan Power, a professional manufacturer of automatic diesel generators in China, has a mature manufacturing system that ensures consistent performance and factory reliability for mass-produced products. Leveraging its scale advantages, it typically offers more competitive prices and more stable delivery cycles.
Huaquan Power's automatic diesel generators feature mature and stable core solutions integrating ATS and smart controllers, enabling seamless switching. From standard silent models to high-end cloud monitoring and parallel systems, the product range can flexibly meet the automation needs of agricultural and commercial-industrial scenarios.
As a professional automatic diesel generator manufacturer in China, Huaquan Power has a wide-ranging after-sales service network that can provide relatively rapid technical response, parts supply, and maintenance support, which is crucial for users needing to ensure production continuity.
 
 
III. Advantages of Automatic Diesel Generators
1. "Automation" of Power Security
Automatic diesel generators, through ATS automatic transfer switches and intelligent controllers, enable 24/7 unattended operation. Once the mains power goes out, the automatic diesel generator can start, generate power, and switch over within seconds.
2. "Reliability" of Power Output
Diesel engines have high torque and strong load capacity, easily handling the large current surges when equipment like water pumps, fans, and crushers start. At the same time, they are fuel-efficient and safer to store, making them suitable for long-term, heavy-duty continuous operation.
3. "Adaptability" to Application Scenarios
These features of automatic diesel generators make them a perfect fit for scenarios that require zero tolerance for power outages, such as:
- Modern Agriculture: Environmental control, feeding, and milking equipment in automated farms; irrigation and environmental control in modern greenhouses; agricultural product processing and cold chain logistics.
- Core Infrastructure and Commercial/Industrial Use: Communication base stations, small data centers, hospital backup power; main or backup power supply for remote mines and construction sites.
 
IV. Precautions for Long-Term Storage of Automatic Diesel Generators
For long-term storage of an automatic diesel generator, you need to follow a "three-step preservation" process, focusing on preventing internal corrosion and component aging.
1. "Thorough cleaning" of fuel and water circuits
- Drain the fuel: Empty the diesel fuel from the tank, fuel lines, and filter to prevent clogging from gum deposits.
- Change the engine oil: Run the engine until it reaches operating temperature, then drain the old oil and refill with new oil to the standard level.
- Treat the automatic diesel generator cooling system: Drain the coolant, flush with special antifreeze or distilled water, and refill to full.
2. "Deep maintenance" of key components
- Cylinder protection: Remove the fuel injectors and inject about 15ml of engine oil into each cylinder. Manually turn the crankshaft several times to ensure the oil evenly coats the cylinder walls to prevent rust.
- Battery storage: Remove the battery, fully charge it, store it in a dry, cool place, and check its charge monthly.
3. "Final preparation" for overall automatic diesel generator storage
- External protection: Block the exhaust pipe and air intake, clean the automatic diesel generator body, and cover it with a dust cover.
- Storage environment: Choose a dry, ventilated indoor space free of corrosive gases, avoiding direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- Regular inspection: It is recommended to check the interior for any issues every three months.
 
V. Q&A on Automatic Diesel Generators
1. What is the function of the ATS on an automatic diesel generator?
The ATS is the "Automatic Transfer Switch," which is responsible for monitoring the mains power in real time. It automatically switches to generator power when there is a power outage and switches back when the mains power is restored.
2. Does an automatic diesel generator require a special installation environment?
It must ensure good ventilation (to prevent exhaust accumulation), a flat and firm ground, and be located away from flammable and explosive materials as well as residential areas.
3. How to choose the power of an automatic diesel generator?
Core formula: (Sum of the rated power of all critical equipment × starting factor) + 20-30% margin. The starting factor is generally taken as 1.5-2.5.
 
VI. Application Scenarios of Automatic Diesel Generators
1. Automatic Diesel Generators in Modern Agriculture and Animal Husbandry
Automated livestock farms: Provide uninterrupted power for environmental control, automated feeding, and intelligent milking, ensuring animal health and production efficiency.
Facility agriculture: Ensure stable operation of precision irrigation and environmental control systems in greenhouses and plant factories, preventing crop loss.
Agricultural product processing and storage: Automatic diesel generators provide a stable backup power supply for cold storage, drying lines, and sorting/packaging equipment to prevent raw material spoilage.
2. Automatic Diesel Generators in Key Public Services and Infrastructure
Healthcare and communications: Backup power for hospitals, communication base stations, and small/edge data centers, ensuring critical services and data security.
Emergency support: Essential backup systems for public facilities such as fire stations and flood pumping stations.
3. Automatic Diesel Generators in Industrial, Commercial, and Special Operations
Manufacturing and processing: For factory production lines that cannot be interrupted.
Remote off-grid areas: Automatic diesel generators serve as the main or backup power supply for mines, oil fields, and field camps.

The core application scenarios of automatic diesel generators are operational and production areas that require continuous power supply. Users should choose the appropriate automatic diesel generator according to their specific work needs.
