Working Principle of Remote Radiator Cooling
If the geneset is installed below the plane, due to the space limitation, it is recommended to use the remote radiator to cool the engineing. In the remote radiator cooling system, the radiator is separated from the engine and used the electric fan to dissipatefor heat dissipation. The system can be used as a fully closed unit for outdoor use or as an open form for indoor enginesdevices.
When the radiator is installed more than 3 meters above the generator set, most engines need separate radiator (components: high-level radiator, water storage tank, low-level water tank) and electric water pump. The size of the branch radiator depends on the capacity of the entire cooling system, that is, the total amount of pipes required plus the cooling water. The cooling water is driven by an electric circulating pump and circulated from a separate radiator through the radiator and engine. Generally, the cooling fan and water pump motor are powered by the generator set, and the load power required for this part shall be included in the total power of the generator set.
When the generator unit stops running, water will flow from the radiator to the separate radiator. When the unit is running, the separate radiator must have enough water to fill the entire cooling system and maintain enough cooling water for a long time. Ensure the effective circulation of the unit. Attention should be paid to the system:
1.To prevent foreign substances from polluting the cooling water agent;
2.The turbulence of the branch tank can oxidize water.
3.Avoid air being enclosed in the system, pipes should be provided with vent;
4.Carry out appropriate water treatment to meet the water quality requirements of the engine;
5.To prevent water condensation and corrosion, the entire cooling water system must be added with coolant and preservatives in accordance with regulations;
6.The cooling water keep natural flow in the radiator circulation system.
