The principles for the layout and installation of the machine room are: to ensure that the units (including the diesel engine, generator, and control panel) can operate normally, and to facilitate usage, operation, and maintenance.

The main power of a diesel generator set is also known as continuous power or prime power. In China, it is commonly referred to as main power for diesel generator sets, while internationally, it is referred to as standby power, also known as maximum power. Many irresponsible manufacturers in the market use maximum power to describe and sell the generator sets as continuous power, leading to misunderstandings among many users regarding these two concepts.

The main power of a diesel generator set is also known as continuous power or long-term power. In China, it is commonly referred to as main power for diesel generator sets, while internationally it is referred to as standby power, also known as maximum power. Many irresponsible manufacturers in the market use maximum power to describe and sell the units as continuous power, leading to misunderstandings among many users regarding these two concepts.

In our country, diesel generator sets are labeled with main power, which is continuous power. The maximum power that the generator set can continuously use within 24 hours is referred to as continuous power. During a certain period, the standard allows for a 10% overload on the continuous power for 1 hour within every 12 hours. The power of the unit at this time is what we usually refer to as maximum power, or standby power. This means that if you purchase a unit with a main power of 400kw, you can run it at 440kw for 1 hour within 12 hours. If you purchase a unit with standby power of 400kw and do not overload it, running it at 400kw means that the unit is actually always in an overloaded state (since its actual rated power is only 360KW). This is very detrimental to the unit and will shorten its lifespan and increase the failure rate.
