Introduction to Diesel Generator Radiator
Radiator is responsible for preventing the heat generated by the engine. Lack of heat management produced by diesel engines may cause serious damage to the engine. With the help of water or cooling liquids, the radiator absorbs heat from the engine and transmits it to the surrounding air through the radiator blades. This will keep the engine temperature in the safe range and prevent it from overheating and its possible breakdown.
Diesel Generator Radiator Types
Cool water radiator
This model acts as a radiator water using water. The water absorbs heat from the engine and transmits to the air through radiator blades. Suitable for high temperature environment and requires more storage and water pumping systems than others.
Cool oil radiator
of this type of radiator in permanent motors The power plant is used. Its function is that on one side two layers of oil enters the radiator and exit on the other. In fact, the oil is not mixed with water and transfers heat to it during a call. Then, for cooling, the water enters the cool air radiator. Effective cooling at high temperatures, high thermal capacity and the need for oil maintenance and replacement systems are features of this model.
Radiator plate
between the plates of this model, the cooling fluid flows. It has a higher contact surface with the radiator water and therefore has a higher efficiency in heat transfer. Due to their intensive and efficient design, they are used in different diesel generators.
Combined radiator
use several systems. They can use both water and air for cooling. Suitable for specific conditions and multipurpose functions.
Portable radiator
These radiators are specifically designed for use in different environments and can be easily moved. This type of radiator is commonly used in emergencies or in temporary workshops and projects.
Industrial Radiator
These radiators are designed for use in large and industrial generators and usually have a higher capacity. They are made specifically for work in harsh conditions and high temperatures.
The main components and components of the diesel generator radiator
Discharge Valve: This piece is used when replacing antifreeze. After the material is drained, the material requires ventilation.
Overflow Pipe: The overflow pipe is used for boiling water or excess water in the machine.
Fan: The fan pushes the cool air from the outside to the radiator nucleus to quickly transfer the heat of the cooling liquid to the environment.
Cylinder: The cylinder block contains a piston and combustion chamber.
Water Pump: The water pump circulates the radiator water into the system and transmits it from the engine to the radiator and vice versa.
Thermostat: Thermostat controls the water temperature of the radiator and adjusts its current if needed to operate at the optimum temperature.
How the Diesel Generator's radiator works
Maintenance of Diesel Generator Radiator
Diesel generator radiator needs regular maintenance to maintain its optimal performance and longevity. The following are important points in the repair of the radiator:
Radiator water level check: Regularly check the fluid level and add appropriate liquid if the surface is reduced.
Radiator clean
In environments where there is dust, radiator gaps may be blocked with waste, insects, etc. that affect the performance of the radiator. Repeated cleaning of these sediments can be sprayed with low -pressure hot water with detergents to spray steam or water from the front of the radiator to the fan. If you spray from the opposite direction, only dirt will be blown into the center. When using this method, use a cloth to block the diesel engine and alternator. If the above method cannot be removed, the radiator can be removed and dipped in alkaline hot water for about 5 minutes and then washed with hot water.
Leak control
periodically check the pipes and joints, as the leakage results reduces the efficiency of the system and blocked by the sediment. The following steps can be taken to remove and prevent this:
Discharge the water from the cooling system and remove the pipe from the diesel engine connection.
Use of water and stainless steel solution
After mixing, heat the solution to 2 ° C.
Gently pour the solution through the filter cover or a slot into the tube to boil. When the chemical reaction is stopped, fill it with a hot solution.
Allow the solution to remain in the system for a few minutes, then return the solution from the lower tube or drain to the main container.
Check the radiator inside the water tank. If there is still sediment, repeat the above steps to increase the acid solution by up to 5 %.

Thermostat survey
Check the thermostat to properly control the temperature. Observing these tips will help the radiator to work well and prevent serious problems.
