Diesel Generator Set Installation Requirements and Procedure
Before installing a diesel generator set, the generator room and foundation must meet the following requirements: Clearance Space: Keep at least 1 meter of space around the
Foundations supporting generator sets must meet flotation, alignment and vibration parameters for successful operation. Specifications that consider the following criteria will help assure trouble-free installation and operation. Foundations must be able to withstand the installation's weight and prevent deflection.
Ensure that the concrete is completely set and hardened before positioning the generator set. It is recommended to have foundation height about 100-150 mm above ground level, it helps to maintain cleanliness of genset. Check the foundation level diagonally as well as across the length for even flatness.
The length and breadth of foundation should be at least 150-300 mm (6-12”) more than base rail length and breadth respectively. Ensure that the concrete is completely set and hardened before positioning the generator set. It is recommended to have foundation height about 100-150 mm above ground level, it helps to maintain cleanliness of genset.
In most applications, a single-bearing generator set can be installed and operated on the base it was shipped on. Two-bearing generators, generators driven from either end of one engine, tandem generators or generators with tandem engines require much heavier boxed base that resists bending forces exerted by the generator sets.
() On a regular basis, containerized generator sets (CGS) are placed onboard ships to provide replacement power in case of damage to one of the ship's generator sets, or additional power, e.g. to provide power to extra deck equipment or reefer containers.
Bars should be imbedded in the concrete at least 3 inches (76.2mm) from foundation surface. Modern multi-cylinder medium-speed generators sets do not require massive concrete foundations to maintain engine/generator alignment. In most applications, a single-bearing generator set can be installed and operated on the base it was shipped on.
