The Ultimate Guide to DG Set Mounts

Introduction

When it comes to DG set mounts, selecting the right vibration control system is crucial to ensuring the longevity and efficiency of power generators. These mounts help in reducing noise, minimizing structural damage, and enhancing overall system performance. In this guide, we will explore various types of DG set mounts, their applications, and how to choose the best one for your needs.

Why Are DG Set Mounts Essential?

DG sets generate significant vibrations during operation. Without proper mounting solutions, these vibrations can cause:

• Structural damage to buildings and equipment
• Increased noise pollution
• Reduced lifespan of the DG set
• Inefficiencies in power generation

By using anti-vibration mounts, spring isolators, or rubber mountings, you can effectively mitigate these issues and ensure stable generator performance.

Types of DG Set Mounts

At Resistoflex, we offer a wide range of high-performance mounts designed specifically for DG sets:

1. Open Spring Damper Type (OSD)
   These mounts use open coil springs combined with dampers to effectively absorb shocks and control vibration. Ideal for applications where visible inspection and maximum isolation are needed.
2. Seismic Restrained Spring Mounts (SRSM)
   Designed to provide stability during seismic activity, SRSMs are perfect for installations in earthquake-prone areas or for high-criticality applications where additional safety is essential.
3. Enclosed Spring Mounts (ECS)
   These mounts feature a protective casing around the spring, offering both effective isolation and protection from environmental factors like dust or water ingress.
4. Genflex Mounts
   Genflex mounts are engineered rubber-based isolators that offer high damping performance and are suitable for various medium to heavy-duty DG sets.
5. Flexifloat Rubber Mounts (EFM)
   These flexible rubber mounts offer reliable vibration isolation with a floating-type design. They're widely used in compact generator installations and mobile applications.
6. Mobiflex Mounts
   Ideal for portable and trailer-mounted DG sets, Mobiflex mounts are designed to absorb vibrations effectively during both operation and transport.

Also Include: Metallic Bellows for DG Exhaust

Metallic Bellows are vital components for DG set exhaust systems. They absorb vibrations, thermal expansion, and misalignments, protecting the exhaust piping from stress and cracks.

How to Choose the Right DG Set Mount?

When selecting the right DG set mount, consider the following factors:

• Load Capacity: Ensure that the mount can handle the weight and operational forces of your generator.
• Vibration Frequency: Different mounts perform optimally at different frequencies. Choose one that aligns with your DG set’s vibration patterns.
• Environmental Conditions: Consider factors such as temperature, humidity, and exposure to chemicals when selecting the material of the mount.
• Installation Space: Some mounts require more space for proper function. Check if your site has adequate room for the selected mounting system.

Conclusion

Investing in the right DG set mounts is essential for optimizing generator performance and longevity. Whether you choose rubber mountings, spring isolators, or air spring systems, each plays a crucial role in vibration control.
