With the recent introduction of our AD Series, featuring Deutz engine-driven diesel generators, we're proud to highlight the key benefits of utilizing oil-cooled engines, specifically in our 2011 Deutz engine models (up to 60kVA). In this blog post, our expert engineers shed light on the advantages offered by oil-cooled engines.
Corrosion Prevention:
Oil naturally inhibits engine corrosion, resulting in reduced maintenance requirements and lower running costs. Proper selection of the correct oil grade, as outlined in the owner's manual, is imperative for optimal engine performance.
Dual Functionality:
In oil-cooled engines, oil serves both as a lubricant and a coolant. This dual function eliminates the need for separate housing units for water and oil, simplifying the engine design.
Cost Reduction:
By integrating oil cooling systems, servicing costs are minimized. Unlike traditional generators, the AD Series generators (13-60kVA) eliminate the need for additional oil and coolant supply and invoicing during servicing.
High Boiling Point:
Oil possesses a higher boiling point compared to water, making it effective in cooling components operating at temperatures exceeding 100°C. Additionally, the engines demonstrate high ambient clearance characteristics when installed correctly.
Compact Cooling Pack:
Oil-cooled engines feature a compact cooling pack, reducing the generator's footprint. A smaller generator footprint translates to reduced canopy size and associated costs.
Electrical Insulation:
Oil's electrical insulating properties allow its usage inside or in direct contact with electrical equipment, such as transformers, ensuring safety and reliability.
Minimized Engine Leakage:
Oil-cooled engines exhibit reduced likelihood of oil leaks, contributing to overall machine reliability and durability.
The adoption of oil-cooled engines in our AD Series reflects our commitment to delivering innovative and efficient generator solutions.
