When a diesel generator set has insufficient cooling water, the following measures can be taken:

 

‌Check the cooling system‌: First, check the status of the cooling system, including whether there is water leakage in the cooling water tank and water pump, and whether there are problems such as pipe blockage. If any problems are found, the damaged parts need to be repaired or replaced in time‌.

 

1. Replenish cooling water‌: If it is found that the cooling water is insufficient, the cooling water should be replenished in time. Before replenishing the cooling water, make sure that the generator set has been shut down and the cooling system has cooled to the appropriate temperature. Then, open the cooling water tank cover and carefully pour in an appropriate amount of cooling water, while being careful not to splash the cooling water into other components‌.

‌2. Use alternative coolant‌: If sufficient cooling water is not available in some cases, consider using alternative coolant, such as a tested and approved coolant specifically for generator sets. Before using an alternative coolant, carefully read and follow the manufacturer's instructions for use to ensure that it is compatible with the generator set‌.

‌Reduce load and running time‌: When insufficient coolant is found, the load of the generator set should be reduced first to reduce heat generation. At the same time, reduce the running time of the generator set to reduce dependence on the cooling system and prevent overheating.

‌Check the cooling system‌: Check whether there is leakage in the cooling system. If leakage is found, it should be repaired and replenished in time. At the same time, check whether key components such as water pumps and radiators are working properly to ensure that the coolant can circulate smoothly.

‌Use professional coolant testing tools‌: Test the quality and performance of the coolant to ensure that it meets the requirements of generator operation. When replenishing coolant, choose the type of coolant suitable for the generator set to avoid using coolant that does not meet the requirements and cause damage to the generator.

 

In short, when the cooling water of the diesel generator set is insufficient, the problem of the cooling system should be checked and repaired first, and then the appropriate coolant should be replenished in time or other emergency measures should be taken to ensure the normal operation of the generator set.
