III. Advantages of Open type generator set
1. Strong power, worry-free cooling
Open type generator sets feature an open structure, strong power, and worry-free cooling, making them suitable for common long-duration, high-load operations at construction sites.
2. Simple structure and easy maintenance of open type generator set
With no outer casing to obstruct access, a wrench can directly reach every key part such as the oil filter and air filter, saving time and effort, and reducing maintenance costs.
3. Affordable, sturdy, and durable of open type generator set
By eliminating the soundproof casing and complex noise-reduction structures, the purchase cost is usually lower than that of silent models with the same power, and the simple structure also means fewer potential points of failure.
 
IV. Daily Usage Precautions for Open type generator set
1. Protection Precautions for open type generator set
Rain and moisture protection: Be sure to equip with a rain canopy or build a dedicated generator shed. Do not expose to rain, as it can cause short circuits and insulation damage.
Dust and sand protection: On construction sites with heavy dust, it is recommended to partially cover the generator with a dust net, which can greatly reduce dust entry and extend the life of the open type generator set.
Site cleaning: Keep at least 1 meter around the open-frame generator clean, and promptly remove fuel, oil, and debris to prevent fire hazards.
2. Frequent Inspection
Before starting the open type generator set, quickly check for oil leaks and loose wiring.
During operation, pay attention to any abnormal knocking sounds and whether the speed is stable. I believe this is an advantage of open type generator sets over silent ones—it allows problems to be detected early. Also, check whether the vibration of the generator casing is abnormally increased.
3. Keep Records
Record each operating time, the amount of oil added, and any abnormalities of the open type generator set This log will be extremely useful during fault troubleshooting.
 
V. The core of daily maintenance for open type generator set is 'Check, Inspect, Clean,' with a focus on preventing dust and moisture.
1. Daily (or before and after each use) maintenance checklist for open type generator sets:
Quick visual inspection: Walk around the generator, focusing on any signs of oil or water leaks, and check for obvious damage or looseness in the wiring.
2. Key fluid level checks for open type generator sets:
Engine oil: Pull out the dipstick to ensure the oil level is between the upper and lower marks. It is recommended to check while the open type generator set is on a level surface and turned off for the most accurate reading.
Fuel system prevention: Visually inspect the fuel tank level and pay attention to whether the diesel is cloudy or has water (indicated by layering).
3. Weekly (or every 50 hours of operation) enhanced items:
Open type generator set air filter: Remove the filter element and shine a flashlight from the inside out; if light does not pass through well, use compressed air to blow it clean from the inside out. If it is too dirty or damaged, replace it. I think on dusty construction sites, this should even be done daily.
Battery terminals: Check for white corrosion; if present, rinse with hot water to remove, and ensure the connections are tight.
4. Monthly (or every 200 hours of operation) deep maintenance:
Change engine oil and oil filter: Do this while the open type generator set is still warm for more thorough drainage of old oil.
Drain the water separator: Open the bottom drain valve until clear diesel flows out.
 
 
VI. Q&A on open type generator set
1. Key parameters when selecting an open type generator set?
Besides power, be sure to pay attention to the rated power, not the maximum power, as well as the brand of the engine.
2. How to choose engine oil for an open type generator set?
Follow the engine manual strictly and use the specified grade of diesel engine oil. Never use car gasoline engine oil.
3. How much power margin is needed for an open type generator set?
Total power = (sum of operating power of equipment + maximum starting power of a single device) × 1.1 (safety factor).
 
VII. Application Areas of open type generator set
1. Open type generator sets as backup power for construction projects
During the "three connections and one leveling" phase of a construction site, remote road and bridge construction, etc.
In these scenarios, equipment uptime is crucial. The advantages of open type generator sets—simple structure, low failure rate, and easy maintenance—are fully utilized.
2. Open type generator sets as power sources for industrial and agricultural production
Used for farmland irrigation, mining, and small factories.
3. Open type generator sets as emergency backup power
Serves as backup power for hospitals and communication base stations (requires an automatic transfer switch cabinet). Although noisy, their durability and good heat dissipation make them very suitable for emergency power supply situations that require long-term operation.
 
Open type generator sets have a simple structure and excellent heat dissipation. The appropriate open-frame generator should be selected according to the specific work requirements.
