We have a 400KVA Diesel Engine driven generator that works as a standby power source to one of our housing facilities.
An issue recently came up as the thermocouple installed on the Radiator Coolant line started to give out sporious readings varying the temperature display to faulty readings and even tripping the Diesel engine on high temperature. When i took it up with the OEM, he suggested me to cover/insulate the exhaust piping of the engine from the end of the Turbocharger till above the radiator height since the thermocouple is installed in vicinity of the exhaust piping and it is effected by heat radiated from the piping.
I'm unsure if it is going to effect the performance or life of the engine or turbocharger in some way?
