Marine generators are affected by multiple environmental climates, so diesel generators and radiators must meet marine regulations, otherwise, it will cause safety hazards and problems. So how to distinguish between land-use generators and marine generators?
Marine generators are composed of main and auxiliary engines. In most cases, multiple engines are required to be connected in parallel. Land generators are relatively simple, and their use conditions are different. Marine generators are used in rivers or oceans, so they are waterproof, moisture-proof, and waterproof. There are compulsory requirements for the ability of salt-alkali, impact resistance, and anti-turbulence.There are four environmental factors are considered during the manufacture of marine diesel generators and radiators:
- Moisture damages the generator and other accessories, especially rust, and radiator core needs to be anti-corrosion.
- The turbulence of the ship has a great influence on the overall performance of the generator, especially the structure of the radiator.
- The salt-alkali corrosion in the marine environment, because the seawater is alkaline, so it will severely corrode the generator and radiator core.
- Inconvenience in maintenance because of location.
Land generators and radiators will not be designed from the above four aspects, while marine generators must take the above factors into consideration and must choose anti-corrosion radiator, otherwise the generator will cause corrosion and perforation, and cannot be repaired and replaced. It also expressly stipulates that marine generators and components must have a three-inspection certificate and only qualified generators can be used on ships. The above requirements are also applicable to island generators in similar environments.
