Precautions for Long-Term Storage of Open type generator set

Time：2025-12-27 15:32:25 Edit：HuaQuan Traffic Index：10

An open type generator set refers to a basic model where the engine, generator, and control panel are all exposed on a metal base frame, without being enclosed in a soundproof casing.

I. Features of Open type generator set
The core features of open type generator sets are an open structure, emphasis on heat dissipation and cost, and suitability for specific industrial scenarios.

II. Huaquan Power is a professional open type generator set manufacturer in China
Huaquan Power Company was established in 2010. Its business covers multiple fields including power generation equipment, new energy storage equipment, high and low voltage complete sets of equipment, and power engineering, and it has developed three major brands: "HQ-POWER," "HUAQUAN," and "Huaquan." At present, the company has grown into a strong global brand in the power industry, with cumulative global sales exceeding 1 million units.
As a professional open type generator set manufacturer in China, Huaquan Power core advantage lies in closely focusing on the hardcore needs of industrial users, forming targeted competitiveness in technological practicality, after-sales responsiveness, and production scale.

III. Advantages of open type generator set
The core advantages of open type generator sets are their simple structure, low cost, good heat dissipation, and easy maintenance. They are mainly suitable for industrial environments with low noise and protection requirements.
Cost-effective: By eliminating the silencer enclosure, open type generator sets typically have the lowest manufacturing cost and selling price.
Excellent heat dissipation: The open type generator set structure allows good airflow, making it suitable for long-term heavy-load operation.
Easy maintenance of open type generator set: With all components exposed, daily inspection, maintenance, and troubleshooting are convenient.

IV. Precautions for Long-Term Storage of open type generator sets
The core precautions for long-term storage of open type generator sets are "drain, seal, rust prevention, and regular maintenance," with the goal of preventing damage due to prolonged inactivity.
1. Handling the Fuel System of open type generator sets
- Drain the fuel tank: Completely remove any remaining fuel to prevent gum deposits from clogging the fuel lines.
- Add stabilizer: If draining is not possible, fill the tank and add a special fuel stabilizer, then seal the tank.
2. Engine Maintenance
- Change the oil: Drain the old oil while the open type generator set is warm, and refill with new oil up to the standard level.
- Cylinder rust prevention: Remove the fuel injectors, pour about 15 ml of rust-preventive oil into each cylinder, manually rotate the crankshaft several turns, and then reinstall the injectors.
3. Cooling System Handling of open type generator set
- Drain or add antifreeze: Drain if non-antifreeze coolant is used; if the environment is prone to freezing, be sure to fill with sufficient antifreeze.
4. Electrical System Protection
- Disconnect the battery: Remove the negative terminal, clean the posts, fully charge the battery, store it separately in a cool, dry place, and recharge periodically.
- Moisture-proof sealing: Use moisture-proof bags or plastic covers for the controller and open type generator set terminals to prevent moisture damage.
5. Overall Storage and Environment of open type generator sets
- Cleaning and rust prevention: Clean the open type generator set, and apply rust-preventive grease to exposed metal parts such as shafts and bolts.
- Storage environment: Place the generator in a dry, ventilated, and dust-free indoor area, covering it with a dust cover while ensuring airflow.
- Regular cranking: Manually rotate the crankshaft every three months to prevent parts such as bearings and piston rings from sticking.

V. Q&A on open type generator sets
1. Can open type generator sets operate in parallel?
Yes. High-end models support multiple units running in parallel to increase total power or provide redundancy backup.
2. What environmental requirements are there for operating open type generator sets?
They need to be in well-ventilated spaces, away from flammable materials, on flat and solid ground, with enough space for maintenance.
3. How to choose the appropriate power for an open type generator set?
Calculate the total starting and running power of all equipment, and add a 20-30% margin as the selection power.
4. What should be focused on most when purchasing an open type generator set?
The brand of core components (engine, generator), the authenticity of rated power, and the manufacturer's after-sales service network.

VI. Application Areas of open type generator sets
1. Construction Projects: open type generator sets are used as temporary power sources for construction sites, road and bridge building, mining, and other activities.
2. Agriculture and Field Operations: For farmland irrigation, field exploration, drilling, and similar tasks.
3. Industrial Backup: open type generator sets serve as backup power units in factories, power plants, data centers, and other facilities (installation in a dedicated machine room is required).

Open type generator sets are mainly used in outdoor industrial scenarios where noise and protection requirements are not high but economic efficiency, good heat dissipation, and ease of maintenance are needed. Users should choose the appropriate open type generator set based on specific work requirements.
