Natural Gas Generator Performance in Extreme High-Temperature Environment – Iran Project

1. Project Background and Challenges

The Iran project site is located in a tropical desert climate zone and faces severe extreme heat conditions during summer. Throughout the monitoring period, ambient temperatures consistently remained within the peak range of 40–50°C. Such extreme thermal conditions typically lead to power de-rating, cooling system alarms, or lubrication failure in generator sets, placing exceptionally high demands on the overall thermal management system of the equipment.

2. Key Monitoring Parameters and Performance Analysis

The on-site engineering team conducted comprehensive tracking and analysis of the generator set’s performance under high-temperature operating conditions, focusing on the following core parameters:

High-Efficiency Cooling Circulation System:
Under high thermal loads, the radiator and cooling fan demonstrated excellent matching performance. Coolant circulation pressure remained stable, effectively preventing knocking risks caused by excessive intake air temperatures and ensuring high heat exchange efficiency.

Lubricating Oil Thermal Stability Monitoring:
Monitoring results showed that the lubricating oil temperature consistently remained within the optimal operating range. Oil viscosity was unaffected by high temperatures, effectively ensuring the reliability of internal moving components and reducing the risk of thermal wear.

Load Capacity and Power Output:
Even at the critical ambient temperature of 50°C, the generator set exhibited outstanding power stability. The output curve remained smooth, with no protective power derating triggered by overheating, thereby ensuring uninterrupted on-site production.

Electrical and Control System Tolerance:
The control cabinet and electronic components operated normally in a high-temperature enclosed environment. No temperature drift was observed, sensor feedback remained accurate, and system logic responses were fast and reliable.

3. Monitoring Conclusions and Customer Feedback

Conclusion:
Measured data confirms that this natural gas generator set features an excellent thermal redundancy design and is fully capable of adapting to the extreme climatic conditions of Iran.

Customer Feedback:
The project owner highly praised the generator set for its high reliability, high stability, and zero-failure operation under harsh conditions. The stable performance of the unit provided solid power support for the smooth progress of the project and further strengthened mutual trust and long-term cooperation between both parties.
