3 INSTALLATION
3.1 G
ENERAL INSTALLATION CRITERIA
The installation of one or more Generating Sets must be
designed by specialised engineers qualified for the
design of this type of plant. The installation must be
carried out by qualified organisations employing
specialised personnel and using suitable equipment.
The systems must be installed in workmanlike manner
and upon completion the installer must issue the client
with a Declaration of Conformity of the systems installed
in accordance with the design specifications and the
specific standards.
3.2 I
MPORTANT INFORMATIONS
3.2.1 I
NSPECTION OF MATERIALS
On receiving the set, it is advisable to check that the
materials correspond to that listed on the delivery note
accompanying the shipment. Some of the packages
may be opened at random to check that no damage has
occurred during transit. If damage is noted, the carrier
must be informed immediately to enable the relevant
claims procedure to be started.
3.2.2 S
AFETY STANDARDS FOR DIESEL ENGINES
The location and installation of the generating set
(foundations, fuel tank, air intake, gas exhaust) must
comply with the "Safety Standards" in force in the
country of installation.
3.2.3 F
OUNDATIONS
The foundations must be calculated and designed by
civil engineers, taking maximum care to avoid the
transmission of vibrations and noise to other parts of the
structure.
3.3 E
XHAUST PLANT
3.3.1 E
XHAUST PIPE
The exhaust pipe must convey the exhaust gas to a zone
where it will not cause damage or harm, and away from
doors, windows and air intakes.
The outlet must be provided with a fixed protection to
prevent the ingress of rainwater.
Sections of pipes passing through walls must be insulated
to prevent the transmission of heat to the walls
themselves.
In the figure under you illustrate some details they are
brought on the mentioned matter.
3.3.2 E
XHAUST PIPE DESIGN
The back pressure on the engine exhaust greatly influences
the power delivered by the engine and its thermal load.
Any excessive back pressure (measured on the outlet side
of the exhaust manifold for induction engines and on the
turbine outlet side for turbocharged engines) causes a
decrease in power, an increase in the temperature of the
exhaust gases, produces smoke, increases fuel consumption
and superheats the cooling water, with subsequent
deterioration in the lubricant and consequences for other
engine parts.
The pipelines should be as short as possible and with a
minimun number of bends.

ENTILATION
PICTURE UNDER REPORTED
Ventilation of the room in which the generating set is installed
is of fundamental importance for the proper operation of the
set itself.
3.5 F
UEL SYSTEM
The standard Generating Sets normally supplied by
are fitted with a complete fuel system from the engine to the
standard fuel tank incorporated in the base of the unit.
