III. Introduction to the Advantages of Automatic Diesel Generators
1. High Automation and Intelligent Control of Automatic Diesel Generators
Unmanned Operation: Core advantage. Can automatically detect mains power failures and start up, switch on the supply; after mains power is restored, it automatically switches back and shuts down, greatly saving labor.
Remote Monitoring: Operating parameters (voltage, frequency, oil pressure, etc.) can be monitored remotely via PC or mobile app, with fault alerts received, achieving modern intelligent management.
2. Reliability and Fast Response
Stable Power Supply: Automatic diesel generators have a robust structure, can withstand high temperatures and high pressure, have a low failure rate, and can provide continuous and stable power.
Quick Start: Can automatically start after a mains power outage and reach full load in a short time, perfectly meeting emergency power supply needs.
3. Economy and Power Performance
Fuel Efficiency: Diesel has high thermal efficiency and the lowest fuel consumption among all fossil fuel power engines, providing clear long-term operational cost advantages.
Powerful Performance: Wide power range, high torque, strong overload capacity, especially suitable for starting motors and other inductive loads.
4. Wide Applicability and Convenient Maintenance of Automatic Diesel Generators
Wide Application: From emergency backup power for hospitals and data centers to primary power for mines and construction sites, it covers nearly all scenarios requiring independent power supply.
Easy Maintenance: Mature technology, relatively simple routine maintenance procedures, requiring fewer professional maintenance personnel.

IV. Maintenance Precautions for Automatic Diesel Generators
1. Daily Inspection of Automatic Diesel Generators (before each startup or at least once a week)
Appearance Check: Inspect the generator for any oil or water leaks, loose or damaged components.
Fluid Level Check:
Fuel: Ensure the fuel tank has sufficient fuel, and periodically drain impurities and water from the bottom of the tank.
Engine Oil: Check that the oil level is within the proper range on the gauge.
Coolant: Check the level in the expansion tank and add coolant of the same brand and type if necessary.
Battery Check: Inspect the battery terminals for cleanliness, tightness, and corrosion.
2. Regular Maintenance (based on operating hours or monthly/quarterly)
Engine Oil and Filter: Regularly replace the engine oil and oil filter, which is fundamental to ensuring the automatic diesel generator longevity.
Fuel Filter: Replace regularly, as this is key to preventing unstable operation or failure to start.
Winter Special Reminder: Make sure to use diesel with the appropriate grade according to the ambient temperature (e.g., -10#, -35#) to prevent fuel waxing.
Air Filter: Clean or replace regularly according to the environmental cleanliness to prevent insufficient air intake and power loss.
3. Monthly/Quarterly Testing and Maintenance
No-Load Running Test: Conduct at least one automatic start test per month simulating a power outage, running for 20-30 minutes. This not only verifies the automatic diesel generator reliability but also lubricates internal components and charges the battery.
4. Long-Term Idle Maintenance (e.g., backup power)
Activate "Standby Mode": Ensure the "Auto" mode on the control panel is turned on.
Battery Maintenance: For long-term inactivity, it is recommended to use a smart charger to float charge the battery to maintain its health.
Protective Measures: Disconnect the starter battery and take dust and moisture protection measures for the automatic diesel generator.
5. Safety Precautions
Ventilation: Ensure good ventilation where the automatic diesel generator is running to prevent carbon monoxide buildup.
Prohibit Load-Running Shutdown: Before shutting down, gradually remove all loads, let the generator run idle for a few minutes, and allow it to cool down before stopping.

V. Q&A on Automatic Diesel Generators
1. What is the main difference between an automatic diesel generator and a regular generator?
Automatic diesel generator: It is a complete set of equipment that can automatically start and connect to supply power through an intelligent control system when a mains power failure is detected, and automatically disconnect and stop when the mains power is restored. The core difference lies in achieving "unattended operation" and "rapid response."
Regular generator: All steps such as starting, connecting, and stopping require manual operation.
Automatic diesel generator: The entire power restoration process requires no manual intervention, making it essential for places with high demands for power continuity, such as data centers, hospitals, and factories.
2. What is important for daily maintenance of an automatic diesel generator?
The core of daily maintenance is "prevention first."
Regular checks: Check fuel, engine oil, coolant levels, and battery condition.
Regular testing: Conduct a self-start load test at least once a month; this is the standard for verifying reliability.
3. What should be specially noted when using an automatic diesel generator in winter?
Winter is a key period for maintenance, focusing on "anti-freezing" and "ensuring start-up":
Fuel selection: Use low-grade antifreeze diesel (e.g., -10#, -35#) and low-viscosity winter engine oil (e.g., SAE 5W-30).
Start-up preheating: Use the automatic diesel generator built-in preheating function before starting.
Anti-freeze protection: Always use antifreeze in the cooling system; if not used, drain the coolant after shutdown to prevent cylinder block cracking.
Battery maintenance: Keep the battery fully charged and clean the terminal connections.

VI. Application Areas of Automatic Diesel Generators
1. Commercial Buildings and Hotels: Automatic diesel generators provide power for elevators, fire protection systems, central air conditioning, and basic lighting during municipal power outages, maintaining essential operations.
2. Construction Sites: Before the official connection to the grid, they serve as the main power source for all construction equipment and temporary facilities.
3. Municipal Water Services: Ensure the continuous operation of pumps at water treatment and sewage plants, maintaining the basic societal function.
4. Emergency Rescue: Automatic diesel generators supply power to rescue command centers, temporary medical points, and shelters after natural disasters such as earthquakes and typhoons.
5. Events and Field Operations: Provide power support for large-scale events, film shoots, and field exploration in areas without a stable power grid.
