Chapter V Storage and Installation

I. Storage
Storage yard shall be well ventilated with no acid gas, alkaline gas and other corrosive
gases and protected from the sun and rain. The factory guarantees that gen-set can be stored
for half a year after delivery, in case of more than half a year, proper treatment measures shall
be taken, such as alternator winding insulation measurement, moisture removal as the case
may be.
II. Unpacking acceptance
Unpacking method: remove connections between packing case housing and the bottom
of packing case and use lifting tools to open the case. Note: a person shall be assigned to
support the packing case housing with hand during lifting to protect exposed parts of gen-set
from being damaged by packing case housing. Generally, gen-set shall undergo unpacking
acceptance after arriving in delivery destination. Acceptance method and personnel shall be in
accordance with contract specifications. As the basis of acceptance, “packing list” shall be put
in same document pocket with other documents to be provided with the unit.
-8-
Basic acceptance items are:
Appearance inspection: check whether exposed parts are damaged by visual inspection
or whether there is collision, deformation and other abnormal phenomena and make records;
 Check accompanying documents according to the list of accompanying documents

and make records;
 Check the spare parts according to the “list of accompanying spare parts” and make
records;
 Check accompanying tools according to the “list of accompanying tools” and make
records.
 In case that gen-set has any damages in appearance and accompanying spare parts,
attachment, documents and tools are inconsistent with the list. The consigner and
carrier shall be informed within 24 hours by fax or telephone after acceptance for
claims.
III. Lifting & handling
Steel wire rope shall have enough strength, and carrying capacity of lifting tools shall
meet safety specifications. Each steel wire rope shall be in the same length to avoid tilting
during lifting.
Steel wire rope shall be attached onto the lifting position of gen-set packing case base.
When bare machine is lifted, steel wire rope shall be attached onto the lifting position of
the common chassis of the generating unit. Contact between steel wire rope and other gen-set
components shall be prohibited, if not, separate them with a board. Cover lifting shall be
stopped if contact parts are small or non-bearing parts, and try again after changing the length
of rope or adding support to change force bearing point. Please contact us for any questions.
IV. Installation
1. Installation of gen-set external pipes
Installation of various gen-set pipes shall abide by following rules:
 External pipes and gen-set shall be connected by flexible hose.
 Sharp turn shall be avoided on the pipe line, and bend & tee shall be avoided in most
cases.
 For the convenience of maintenance, valves shall be installed in proper position.
-9-
 Pipes shall be reliably secured on the support. Measures should be taken to relieve
stress generated by expansion and contraction of pipelines.
 After the completion of gen-set installation, oil supply and water supply can only be
allowed after pipes are totally cleaned. Test run shall be carried out for checking
whether various pipes meet relevant requirements, pipeline pressure drop is too large,
pump drive capability is enough and cooling water flow meets operating
requirements. Otherwise, pipes in larger size shall be used.
2. Installation of vent-pipe
(1) Installation of vent-pipe shall abide by following rules:
a. Vent-pipe dead-weight shall be reliably supported, and it is strictly prohibited to use

supercharger to bear vent-pipe weight. Generally, fixed support shall be located 1m away
from expansion joint to prevent stress generated by vent-pipe gravity, thermal expansion or
transversal displacement from being transferred to supercharger. Diesel supercharger shall be
provided with precise bearing and impeller and has high speed. In case that supercharger
exhaust flange bears too much bending moment, supercharger shaft will be deformed and
normal operation of supercharger is disturbed with noise which finally leads to the damage of
supercharger.
b. External vent-pipe shall be made from steel tube without too many turns and shall be
fixed tightly on ship body with no vibrations. Its weight shall not be applied on diesel
expansion pipe. Exhaust back pressure of diesel engine shall be not greater than 6kPa after the
completion of exhaust system installation. Otherwise, diesel engine performance will be
affected. As diesel vent-pipe surface temperature is high during operation, vent-pipe shall be
kept away from flammable objects to avoid worker scald. Thermal insulation apparatus shall
be mounted on the surface of external exhaust pipes.
c. Exhaust silencer shall be installed on the end of vent-pipe to reduce influence of

exhaust noise.
d. There is vapor generated in the process of diesel oil burning, therefore, condensate
water drain valve shall be installed on vent-pipe to discharge condensate water in vent-pipe.
Condensate water drain valve shall be located as low as possible on the pipe close to diesel
engine.
(2) Diffuser pipe and vent-pipe diameter
The size of the bellow expansion joint provided by the manufacturer is not exactly the
same as the diameter of vent-pipe. Sometimes, a 500-800mm long diffuser pipe with
- 10 -
increasing diameter is needed, which is also used as a connector to reduce airflow resistance.
Diffuser pipe can be made from 3-5mm sheet steel.
(3) Exhaust silencer
Exhaust noise is generated when diesel combustion emission is discharged from exhaust
valve to vent-pipe, which always causes exhaust gas vibration and pressure wave. Pressure
wave is the mixture of many waves of different lengths and amplitudes. These wave lengths
(frequency) and amplitudes (loudness) are all within the recognizable range of human ear.
Exhaust silencer can consume and absorb the energy of pressure wave to reduce pressure
wave amplitude of exhaust gas discharged from exhaust silencer. Most diesel exhaust silencer
reduces acoustics energy by reflecting the pressure wave. Generally, increase of silencer
dimension will improve noise reduction effect. If there is limitation on silencer dimension,
increase of silencer decay degree will result in increase of exhaust resistance. Therefore,
proper silencer shall be selected according to the resistance of exhaust system.
Exhaust silencer is not covered in standard supply scope. The user can purchase in the
market or order from us.
3. Installation of fuel pipes
Installation of fuel pipes shall abide by following rules:
a. Volume of fuel tank for everyday use can keep gen-set continuously running for at
least 8h.
b. Oil tank shall be made aluminum sheet, phosphatization steel plate, and reinforced
plastic plate instead of galvanized steel plate.
c. Contact between oil return pipe and high temperature components (such as vent-pipe,
turbocharger, exhaust gas return pipe) of diesel engine shall be avoided during installation.
Throttling area is not allowed in oil return pipe. Return pipe shall not contact with sharp edges,
be bended with sharp corners or distorted. Improper installation of return pipe will lead to fuel
leakage on alternator. Fuel return pipe shall be connected to fuel tank with returned oil
flowing along with the tank wall to reduce eddying flow. The return oil of WP6CD series
diesel engine is internal return oil passed through cylinder head (Figure 5-1). Oil injector
mounting hole in cylinder head can ensure that return oil can be fully sealed.

Figure 5-1 Oil return method
d. Diesel engine inlet and outlet fuel pipe shall be equipped with stop valve for the
convenience of maintenance.
4. Installation of cooling pipes
Proper installation of cooling system plays an important part in diesel engine service life
and performance. Please read the operating principles and installation precautions of cooling
system to ensure the design and installation of gen-set external pipes meet following
requirements:
(1) Diameter of inlet and outlet pipes shall meet relevant requirements of gen-set.
Large diameter pipes shall be used when too many lengthy pipelines are required. Excessive
resistance of pipeline system will lead to insufficient flow of cooling water; therefore, the
diesel engine is lack of sufficient cooling water which causes abnormal operation of the diesel
engine. Elbows and tees shall be minimized.
(2) Pump suction pipe shall be as short as possible to guarantee that pump water inlet
pressure is greater than atmospheric pressure (i.e. positive pressure). Negative pressure will
cause pump gas etching and insufficient cooling water flow which cause abnormal operation
of pump.
(3) Pipeline system must be equipped with exhaust apparatus to discharge air in pipeline.
(4) Purchase a new pump when the lift of the pump supplied with the unit can not satisfy
pipeline lift requirement.
(5) Preservative must be added to cooling water in closed cooling system. Filter screen
shall be mounted on water suction pipe mouth in open type cooling system to protect
intercooler and oil/water cooler from being blocked by dirts.

5．Installation of starting system
Sectional area of cables (multi-core copper flexible cable) between starting engine and the
battery shall be not less than 70mm² and the length shall not exceed 1.5m. Our standard
marine diesel gen-sets are all equipped with starting battery cable.
6. Other requirements
a. A 1m maintenance space shall be reserved around gen-set.
b. Foundation of gen-set shall be firm and has no deformation during installation and
operation of gen-set. During installation, level gauge shall be used to measure the levelness of
foundation installation surface which should be leveled up with flat gasket to ensure that the
gen-set can be placed horizontally. Gen-set shall be fixed with foundation bolt and its classis
undersurface shall be in good contact with the ground during installation, in case of gaps, use
thin iron sheet to level them up to guarantee the concentricity of diesel engine and alternator
axial lead.
c. Diesel vent-pipe shall extend outboard to facilitate ventilation, and vent-pipe bending
- 13 -
angle shall be not less than 90° without too many bends. Inner diameter of external vent-pipe
shall not be less that the inner diameter stipulated in Diesel Engine Operation and
Maintenance Manual. Vent-pipe shall not be too long and satisfy fire protection requirements.
Vent-pipe and the diesel engine shall be in flexible connection instead of rigid coupling. Water
drain valve shall be installed at the lowest position of vent-pipe in order to guarantee the
smooth discharge of condensate water in vent-pipe. For other requirements, follow the Diesel
Engine Operation and Maintenance Manual.
d. The cabin shall be equipped with intake channel and exhaust channel. There shall be no
obstacles obviously hindering the airflow.
e. If ambient environment of gen-set in the winter is lower than 0C, anti-freezing solution
shall be added into gen-set cooling system.
f. Fuel tank separate from gen-set shall be 0.5m above the ground.
g. Sectional area of gen-set major loop connecting cable shall meet relevant current
requirements.
h. Gen-set must be equipped with ground lead and reliably grounded.

3) Gen-set shall be in idling status (generally 600-750 r/min), idling engine heating
shall last for 5-10 min;
2.Engine heating
The diesel engine shall operate for 5-10min in idling status after the starting of gen-set
meanwhile observing diesel oil pressure, oil temperature, cooling water temperature and
diesel operating conditions, in case of abnormalities, shut down the unit for inspection.
3.Acceleration and voltage buildup
High/low speed switch of electronic speed regulator mounted on gen-set shall be

switched to high speed position when diesel engine speed reaches rated speed, the diesel
engine will accelerate the speed automatically. Regulate speed fine adjustment potentiometer
to make diesel engine speed reach rated speed; at this time, alternator voltage shall be built
up.
Regulate voltage setting resistor to make it reach rated value; then turn the voltage
change-over switch mounted on onboard detection device to check whether three-phase
voltage is in balance, no current value is shown, and alternator indicator light turns on.
4.Test run
1)During normal operation of the unit, connect the load and observe whether
various parts are in reliable operation and indicating device is in normal operation;
2)About 25% rated load shall be connected during test run, and check whether
various parameter indicators and whether any abnormal noise arising from
alternators or diesel engine;
3)Load shall be added gradually under normal operation and the load for first test
run shall be not greater than 80% rated load.
4)Observe the water temperature, oil temperature, oil pressure and other diesel
engine parameters and voltage, current and other electrical parameters.
- 37 -
5)Record various parameters during operation.
Notes: sharp increase and decrease of load shall be prohibited during initial operation.
5.Shutdown
Reduce the load gradually, turn off main switch and open load disconnector. The diesel
engine will operate at the speed reduced to idling value for 2~5 min; then the alternator will
be stopped and various switches shall be turned off to separate these units. Then the
commissioning is finished.
Chapter VIII Parallel operation
Parallel operation of gen-set can increase power supply reliability and stability, in
addition, number of parallel gen-sets shall be determined according to load level in places
subject to large load fluctuation for economic operation.
I. Conditions for parallel operation
Gen-set shall meet following conditions during parallel operation:
(1) Voltage of gen-set to be connected shall be the same as that of operating unit;
(2) Frequency of gen-set to be connected shall be the same as that of operating unit;
(3) Phase position of gen-set to be connected shall be the same as that of operating unit;
(4) Phase sequence of gen-set to be connected shall be the same as that of operating unit;
II. Methods
Common parallel connection methods include light extinction method, light rotation
method and synchronizing device method. Currently, the most commonly used method is
synchronizing device method. And synchronizing device method can be divided into
quasi-synchronizing parallel method and automatic self synchronizing parallel method.
Hereinafter provide the introduction of quasi-synchronizing parallel method.
On implementation model, quasi-synchronizing parallel operation is divided into manual

quasi-synchronizing parallel method and automatic quasi-synchronizing parallel method.
Hereinafter provide the introduction of manual quasi-synchronizing parallel method.
- 38 -
Gen-set to be connected in parallel shall be involved in synchronizing operation after

meeting the four parallel conditions stipulated in this Chapter. Operating steps are as follows:
(1) Check whether phase sequences of two parallel gen-sets are consistent with each
other before parallel operation and use phase sequence indicating device to check
alternator stator winding leading-out terminal marks.
(2) Start the gen-set and adjust the speed and voltage of two gen-sets into rated value,
meanwhile, their phase sequences shall be consistent (the adjustment of gen-set
steady-state speed regulation factor and steady-state voltage regulation factor shall be
completed before delivery). One gen-set shall be switched on firstly (it can operate
without load or be used to supply power);
(3) Regulate regulating resistor of gen-set to be connectedconnected to make the voltage

be consistent with that of the already connected unit;
(4) Manual quasi-synchronizing operation: observe the rotation of synchronizing

indicating finger, then make corresponding regulation upon frequency of gen-set to be
connected until synchronizing indicating finger reaches synchronizing balance line in
clockwise rotation and send out switch-on order immediately to make put gen-set into
parallel operation. After parallel operation, regulate the speed of one gen-set to achieve
power sharing balance. All input signals of combined type synchronoscope shall be
turned off after parallel operation to take the synchronoscope out of service.
III. Load transfer in parallel
Load transfer shall be done after units are put into parallel operation. There are load
transfer method, one is active load transfer between two gen-sets which is achieved by
regulating accelerator to change diesel engine oil supply. Active load increases along with oil
supply; the other is transfer of reactive load,which can be accomplished by using regulating
differential resistor and voltage regulation resistor on regulation panel to regulate reactive
power between two gen-sets.
IV． Disconnection of parallel gen-set
When load of two gen-sets in parallel operation is less than the 50% of rated load and
one unit needs to be disconnected, all the load (or most part) of the unit to be disconnected
shall be transferred to the other unit by adjusting speed before turning off load switch to
disconnect the unit.

requirements.
5.The equipment, barriers and dangerous goods not to be used for the unit shall not be
placed on the unit and the ground shall be dry and clean without oil contamination.
6.As there are noises generated during gen-set operation, it is recommended that worker
in noise environment shall wear proper safety devices, such as ear protector.
7.All power supply lines must be disconnected before any maintenance, especially DC
power supply circuit. Set a “during maintenance” warning plate and assign another
person to ensure the safety, especially for maintenance performed in narrow area.
Chapter XII Servicing and Maintenance
1.Please read relevant chapters of this Operation Manual carefully before maintenance and
servicing.
2.Generally, gen-set shall be inspected once a week. Operate for a short time with load
(best of all) to confirm that gen-set is in good status; meanwhile make records on relevant
conditions and parameters.
3.Basic maintenance specifications are as follows:
（1）Check the conditions of air filter, fuel filter elements, clean them in time and replace
them if necessary.
（2）Check cooling water or anti-freezing solution and replenish it in time.
（3）Check whether there is lubricating oil, fuel and cooling water leakage.

（4）Check whether oil in pump body is within specified limit and replenish it in time.
（5）Check the battery voltage and specific gravity of electrolyte.
（6）Check the conditions of various indicating devices and various switches on instrument
box.
（7）Check whether electric connection and mechanical joint is loose and fasten it if
necessary.
4.Routine inspection items
（1）Diesel maintenance
The purpose of correct maintenance is to guarantee the normal and reliable operation of
diesel engine and is an important step to extend diesel engine service life. The user shall
maintain the diesel engine regularly according to technical maintenance items stipulated in
this Chapter.
1）Maintenance frequency of WP6CD Series diesel engine
First inspection (P) after diesel engine runs for 30-50 hours
Level I maintenance (WD1) after diesel engine runs for each 250 hours
Level II maintenance (WD2) after diesel engine runs for each 500 hours
Level III (WD3) after diesel engine runs for each 1000hours
Level IV (WD4) after diesel engine runs for each 4000 hours
Note: Above-mentioned frequency shall be calculated assuming that the unit operate for
1500 hours annually, in case that diesel engine working time annually does not exceed 500
hours, diesel engine maintenance frequency shall be 0.5 times above-mentioned
maintenance frequency; in case that diesel working time annually exceeds 1500 hours, the
maintenance frequency shall be 1.5 times above-mentioned frequency.
Note: Lubricating oil of CE grade or lower is not allowed for WP6CD Series diesel engine.
Replace oil filter element during oil replacement.
