One of them is that the cold storage unit is supposed to be cold and the DG, when operating, will be hot.

If I were you I'd do some reading about DG sets.

From your previous posts you just don't have a clue

Many moons ago I had a problem with an automatic stating DG set at a cold storage facility. The problem was that the DG did not start when the temperature switch kicked in because the motor did not seem to be a load to the battery operated starting circuit.

The problem was solved by including a 60 w incandescent light bulb in the circuit.

What seems to be your problem?

Hi,

Once I was asked to suggest the requirement of DG set for an area of high altitude and freezing temprature.

What we did was, designed a canopy with having a heater inside to keep the canopy temprature as same as a room temprature.

another solution was to have an DC heater in engine air inlet (on engine), during startup we start the heater first for 2 minits and then give the crank. This help to start the DG at freezing climate.

For your application, you may have both solution.

Sir,

Thank you for your reply. Can you please tell me where the DG set is placed in cold storage unit? If Dg set is placed inside refrigeration unit, why can't we keep DG set outside and drag the cables inside.
