Installation Recommendations and Operations Manual

John Deere Powered


Dear Aksa Generating
Set Operator;

First of all, we would like to


thank you for your choice of
Aksa Power Generation.

This operating and maintenance


manual is designed and
developed to make you familiar
with the generator system.

This manual gives general


information about
mounting, operation and
maintenance of the
generating set. Tables and
diagrams are also
available outlining your
generating set.

Never operate, maintain


or repair your generating
set without taking general
safety precautions.

4.3. DIESEL ENGINE
The diesel engine powering the generating set (Item 3) has been
chosen for its reliability and the fact that it has been specifically
designed for powering generating sets. The engine is of the heavy
duty industrial type with 4 stroke compression ignition and is fitted
with all accessories to provide a reliable power supply. These
accessories include, among others, a cartridge type dry air filter
(item 9) and a mechanical or an electronic engine speed governor.

4.4. ENGINE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM


The engine, electrica system is 12 volts or 24 volts DC, negative
ground/earth. This system includes an electric engine starter, a
battery (item 6) and a battery charging alternator (item 11). For
12 volts electrical system one battery is given. For 24 volt system
two lead-acid batteries are given. Other types of batteries may be
fitted if they were specified.

4.5. COOLING SYSTEM 5. INSTALLATION, HANDLING AND STORAGE

air cooled system consists of a high capacity fan to pull cool air 5.1 GENERAL

adequate ventilation is provided to keep the engine and alternator
cool. Proper air flow, as shown in Figure 4.4, requires that the air
comes in at the alternator end of the set, passes over the engine,
through the radiator and out of the room via a flexible exhaust
duct. Without the ducting of the hot air outside the room, the fan
will tend to draw that hot air around and back through the radiator,
reducing the cooling effectiveness.

5.8 EXHAUST
The purpose of the engine exhaust system is to direct the exhaust
outside to a location and height where the fumes and odors will
not become an annoyance or hazard, and to reduce noise. A suitable
exhaust silencer must be incorporated into the exhaust piping to
reduce the noise level from the engine.
(See Figure 5.4 - 5.5)

In designing an exhaust system, the primary consideration is to

manufacturer. Excessive back pressure seriously affects engine

output, durability and fuel consumption. To limit the back
pressure the exhaust piping should be as short and straight as
possible. Any required bends should have a curve radius of at
least 1.5 times the inside diameter of the pipe.
Other exhaust design criteria are as follows:
! A flexible connection between the exhaust manifold and the
piping system should be used to prevent transmission of engine
vibration to the piping and the building and to allow for thermal
expansion and any slight misalignment of the piping.
