If a diesel generator set is overloaded for a long time or used improperly, or if the cooling and fire prevention measures are not in place, it may cause a fire in the diesel generator set. Therefore, Huaquan Power emphasizes here that fire prevention measures must be taken in the diesel generator set room. The following are several key measures shared by Huaquan Power.

 

The 8-hour fuel tank used by the diesel generator set is supplied by gravity or electric pumps. The electric pumps of large fuel tanks that are far away should be equipped with valves that automatically cut off sudden fires. The material inside the fire extinguisher in the diesel generator room must be made of foam and can be used directly by the pump or fireproof box. At the same time, the fire extinguisher should always be placed near the diesel generator set and the fuel storage tank.

 

Another important reason is that the fire between oil and electricity is very dangerous, and there are few types of fire extinguishers that are suitable. In this case, we recommend the use of BCF, carbon dioxide or powder desiccant. In addition, asbestos blankets are also a useful fire extinguishing substance. Foam rubber and can also extinguish oil fires away from electrical equipment.

 

Fire extinguishing measures in diesel generator room:

 

1. The place where diesel is placed should always be kept clean to prevent oil splashing. Small granular mineral absorbents can be placed around the room, but do not use fine sand.

 

2. Keep the room dry. Like these absorbents, they also absorb moisture, which is dangerous in places with electricity, and so are abrasives. They should be placed away from fire extinguishing equipment. Workers should note that absorbents and abrasives cannot be used on diesel generators or joint distribution equipment. Cooling air can flow around desiccant. Therefore, before starting the diesel generator, clean or remove the desiccant as much as possible.

 

3. When a fire occurs in the diesel generator room, the diesel generator should be stopped immediately to prevent circuit leakage in the room fire.

 

From the above, we can see that there is a key point, that is, the layout of the room must pay attention to avoid flammable materials, the water and circuit design should also be reasonably arranged, and some other fire prevention equipment should also be prepared to prevent it before it happens.
