Diesel Generator Tech

A generator set is a reliable and versatile power source during utility outages. Perkins is one of the world's leading providers of diesel engines and its engines are famous for low operating cost and impressive performance. In this article, Dingbo Power shares several tips that can help you select the right Perkins generator set.  1.Ensure your specific needs Before selecting a Perkins diesel generator set, you should determine your specific needs, such as the intended use of generator, a portable or a fixed one, the power size of diesel generator set you need, the fuel type you prefer and so on. This will help you find the most suitable generator and improve the working efficiency and service life of the equipment. Most important of all, you need to determine what power size of Perkins diesel generator set is right for you. For example, if you plan to use it as a backup power supply for your house during power outages, you need to know the number and total power of the el...

A diesel genset may malfunction after a certain period of use. It’s crucial to know how to troubleshoot diesel generator issues. Disassembly is an important part of the generator set repair work. If you want to dismantle and repair the generator yourself, you need to make some preparations and follow the normal disassembly methods to prevent damage to the machine or other accidents. In this article, Dingbo Power introduces several important things that you need to know about disassembly of diesel generator. Principles of disassembly To prevent various accidents and ensure smooth disassembly of the genset, the following principles should be followed during disassembly: Firstly, understand the structural characteristics of diesel genset as well as its components and how it works. Secondly, for those diesel generators without technical data and instructions, be sure to record the torque of the disassembling parts when dismantling the generator sets. Thirdly, do not extend the scope of ...

This article continues to introduce the knowledge of the crankshaft connecting rod mechanism and the crankcase ventilation device of diesel generators. Crankshaft - flywheel group There are seven main bearings. The fourth bearing is equipped with thrust washers. The thrust washers should be installed according to the specified method; otherwise, an incorrect axial clearance will be obtained. After installation, check the thrust clearance of the crankshaft, and the axial clearance of the crankshaft must be between 0.15 - 0.344 mm. The front crankshaft oil seal is installed on the front oil - seal seat, and the front oil - seal seat is installed at the front end of the diesel engine block, as shown in Figure 3.10. The rear oil seal is installed on the rear oil - seal seat, and the rear oil - seal seat is installed on the flywheel housing. When pressing in the front and rear oil seals, use special tooling to ensure that the oil seals are installed in place reliably. When tightening the...

In recent years, with the rapid development of our economy, there is a growing need for the demand of electric power. As a backup power supply, diesel generator sets play an important role in the event of a power outage or in an emergency. However, during a hot summer, the long high ambient temperature adversely effects the chemical structure of the batteries, and may even cause the generator set to fail to start and operate normally. In this article, we’ll share several tips on maintaining the generator batteries in hot summer to prolong the lifespan. The role of batteries in diesel generators First of all, you need to understand the basic information of generator batteries. Batteries are an vital part of a diesel generator because they provide a power source for the starter motor to be able to turn the engine over. They can also power any electrical control panel or digital interface the generator may have. In addition, they can keep the voltage and protect the electrical equipment...

Diesel generator sets are widely used in the market. For example, they are used for emergency power generation and serve as backup power sources for industries such as hospitals, banks, airports, hotels, and communications. Therefore, there is a growing demand for knowledge about diesel generator sets. A generator is a complex mechanical device, and to truly master the essential knowledge, in - depth research and understanding are required. However, there are many fallacies in the use of diesel generator sets. At first glance, they seem correct, but upon closer examination, they are not. The following is a detailed explanation by the editor of Guangxi Dingbo Power on the following two aspects: The first misconception: The lower the water temperature of the diesel engine, the better During the operation of a diesel engine, there are certain requirements for the water temperature. It's not true that a lower water temperature is better. In practical applications, some people tend to...

Generators plays an important role in providing electricity and three phase generators may be familiar to many businesses and building managers. As a powerful energy source, 3 phase generators are suitable for use in industrial or commercial settings. In this article, let’s look at the three phase generator price and the factors you need to consider when buying one. What Is A Three-phase Generator? There are two main types of generators: three-phase and single-phase. A single-phase generator is an electric generator that uses one alternating current (AC) phase to produce electricity. This type of generator uses a single conductor active wire and a neutral wire to complete a circuit. It can supply up to 240 volts of power and is typically used in residential applications. Three phase electric power is a common type of AC used in electricity generation, transmission, and distribution. A 3-phase generator uses three active wires which are all offset by 120 degrees and a neutral wire. I...
