Product Description
Open Frame Diesel Generator | Excellent Heat Dissipation & High Cost Performance
The open frame diesel generator set, also known as open-type diesel genset, is a classic industrial-grade power equipment with a fully exposed structural design. It integrates a high-performance diesel engine, brushless synchronous alternator, intelligent control system, professional cooling system and standard base frame without silent or waterproof enclosed canopy.
Mounted on an integral heavy-duty steel skid base with shock absorption pads, this series of gensets features simple structure, excellent heat dissipation, convenient maintenance and ultra-high cost performance. It is the preferred fixed backup power and temporary main power solution for industrial plants, construction sites, mines, farms and professional generator rooms, widely used in global engineering and industrial power supply scenarios.
Core Structural Composition
Every open-frame genset adopts an integrated modular design with strict industrial production standards, ensuring stable operation and long service life. The complete configuration includes:
  • Heavy-duty Steel Base Frame: Thickened channel steel welded integral base, equipped with high-strength shock-absorbing rubber pads to reduce vibration and noise during operation, avoid structural friction damage. Small and medium-power units come with an integrated base fuel tank for 8-hour continuous operation; high-power units support external independent fuel tank configuration.
  • Famous Brand Diesel Engine: Optional Cummins, Perkins, MTU, Weichai, Yuchai, Baudouin and other international and domestic first-class power engines, four-stroke industrial grade, strong power, low fuel consumption, low emission, adapting to long-term full-load operation.
  • Pure Copper Brushless Alternator: High-efficiency synchronous alternator with 100% pure copper winding, automatic voltage regulation, stable output frequency and voltage, strong overload capacity, no spark during operation, and good adaptability to various inductive and resistive loads.
  • Intelligent Control System: Equipped with a digital display controller, real-time monitoring of water temperature, oil pressure, rotating speed, voltage, current, power and other data. Built-in over-speed, over-voltage, low oil pressure, high water temperature, overload automatic protection and emergency stop function to ensure unit safe operation.
  • Professional Cooling & Exhaust System: Large-scale water radiator + axial flow forced cooling fan, unrestricted open air duct, excellent heat dissipation effect. Matched with industrial resistant muffler to reduce exhaust noise and meet basic industrial environmental protection requirements.
  • Complete Standard Accessories: Starting battery, professional fuel pipeline, air filter, oil filter, fuel filter, circuit protection breaker and full set of installation accessories, complete machine delivery, ready for use after simple installation.
Outstanding Product Advantages
Ultra-high Cost Performance
Eliminate redundant silent enclosure, sound insulation cotton and waterproof shell structure. Compared with silent gensets of the same power, the purchase cost is reduced by 20%-40%. It is the most cost-effective industrial power supply solution for long-term fixed use and large-scale engineering projects.
Super Convenient Maintenance & Inspection
All core components, pipelines, circuits and wiring terminals are fully exposed without shelter. Daily inspection, filter replacement, oil maintenance and fault troubleshooting do not need to disassemble the shell, greatly saving maintenance time and labor costs, reducing equipment downtime.
Excellent Continuous Heat Dissipation
Open unobstructed air duct design avoids heat accumulation caused by closed box. The heat dissipation efficiency is far higher than that of silent and container-type gensets. It can operate stably at full load for a long time in high-temperature environments, effectively extending the service life of the engine and the whole machine.
Light Weight & Flexible Transportation
Compact overall structure, no bulky shell, light weight and small occupied space. It is convenient for forklift and trailer handling and transfer, perfectly adapting to frequent migration operation requirements of construction sites, road and bridge engineering, field mines and other scenarios.
Strong Expandability & Compatibility
The unit reserves standard expansion interfaces, which can be later equipped with ATS automatic dual-power switch cabinet, multi-unit parallel connection module, water jacket heater, mobile trailer, silent canopy and container shell according to user needs, realizing flexible function upgrade.
Product Defects & Usage Notes
To help customers make accurate selection, we honestly list the applicable limitations of open-frame gensets:
  • High Operating Noise: No sound insulation structure, the noise is 95-128dB at 1 meter. It is not suitable for residential areas, hospitals, schools, shopping malls and other noise-sensitive areas.
  • No Rainproof & Dustproof Ability: The components are exposed, and it cannot be placed outdoors for a long time. It must be installed in indoor generator room, factory building or temporary awning to avoid rain erosion and dust accumulation causing short circuit and corrosion damage.
  • Strict Safety Operation Requirements: The rotating parts and high-voltage wiring are exposed, and protective fences and warning signs need to be installed in the placement area to avoid accidental contact and safety accidents.
Applicable Scenarios
Recommended Usage Scenarios
