During long-term storage, improper maintenance of an open frame type generator set may result in decreased device performance, component damage, or shortened lifespan. The following are maintenance precautions for long-term storage of open type generator sets.

1、 Preparation before storing the open frame type generator set

Cleaning: Conduct a comprehensive cleaning of the open frame type generator set, including components such as the engine, generator, radiator, air filter, etc., to remove dust, oil, and debris. Pay attention to cleaning the electrical connection parts to prevent poor contact or short circuit caused by dirt.

Inspection and replacement: Check the oil, coolant, fuel and other fluid levels to ensure they are within the normal range. If necessary, replace the oil and coolant with new ones to extend the equipment's lifespan. Check and replace the air filter, fuel filter, and oil filter to prevent impurities from entering the engine interior.

Anti corrosion treatment: Apply anti rust oil or anti rust paint to parts that are prone to rust (such as exposed metal surfaces) to prevent rust and corrosion. Wrap the generator set in a moisture-proof bag or plastic cloth to prevent moisture from entering.

 

2、 Open frame type generator set storage environment selection

Dry and ventilated: Choose a dry and well ventilated storage location, avoiding damp and dark environments. The storage location should be kept away from sources of fire, heat, and flammable and explosive materials to ensure safety.

Avoid direct sunlight: Try to avoid exposing the generator set directly to sunlight to prevent UV rays from aging plastic components and rubber seals.

Mechanical damage prevention: The storage location should be flat and stable to prevent damage to the generator set due to tilting or shaking. Avoid stacking heavy or sharp objects on the generator set to prevent scratching or crushing of the equipment.

3、 Maintenance during storage of open frame type generator set

Regular inspection: Check the open frame type generator set at regular intervals (such as monthly), including appearance, fluid level, electrical connections, and other aspects. Check for oil and water leaks, as well as loose or corroded electrical connections.

Start up operation: If the storage time is long (such as more than 6 months), it is recommended to start the generator set regularly (such as every 3 months) and run it for a period of time (such as 30 minutes) to maintain the good condition of the engine and generator. Before starting, check the oil and coolant levels, and ensure that the fuel system is unobstructed.

Battery maintenance: If the generator set is equipped with batteries, they should be charged regularly (such as monthly) to maintain their activity. Check the electrolyte level and density of the battery, and if necessary, add distilled water or adjust the electrolyte density.

4、 After storing the open frame type generator set, enable preparation

Comprehensive inspection: Before use, inspect the open type generator set, including appearance, liquid level, electrical connections, mechanical components, etc. Check for damaged or worn components and replace or repair them if necessary.

Replace lubricating oil and filter: Replace the engine oil and oil filter with new ones to ensure cleanliness inside the engine. Check and replace other filters to prevent impurities from entering the engine.

Test Run:

Before enabling, conduct a short-term test run to observe whether the running status and performance parameters of the open frame type generator set are normal.

 

If there are any abnormal phenomena (such as abnormal noise, vibration, overheating, etc.), the machine should be stopped immediately for inspection and troubleshooting.
