Diesel Generator Tech

This article continues to introduce the necessary knowledge for the use environment and installation of generators. 4. Generator assembly 4.4.1 Installation with the generator This engine is suitable for use with a single - supported generator. The elastic coupling of the single - bearing generator is matched with the flange interface of the SAE flywheel. The matching tolerance has high precision, and it is relatively convenient to connect with the prime mover. The stop dimension of the SAE flange interface of the generator is designed to match the flywheel housing of the prime mover, so there is no need for further adjustment of the coaxiality, and the concentricity can be guaranteed. Installation method of the engine and the generator: 1.Install two M16 studs (for positioning) diagonally on the flywheel. 2.Remove the window plate at the driving end of the generator, and remove the fixing plate between the elastic coupling plate and the flange interface. 3.Lift the generator wit...

Many purchasers have made comprehensive comparisons and inquiries in the early stage. However, purchasing a generator set is not the end of the work. After the purchase, they will still face problems such as how to install and use the generator. The Generator Knowledge Class of Dingbo Power will popularize knowledge for users about the precautions for the operating environment of diesel generator sets and the relevant installation methods. 1. Operating environment The engine can operate normally at its rated power under standard reference conditions (absolute atmospheric pressure of 100 kPa, ambient temperature of 25 °C, and relative humidity of 30%). If the engine needs to operate in an environment with a temperature below 0 °C, the user should prepare a low - temperature starting device to ensure normal operation. The user can also request the addition of a low - temperature starting device when placing an order. When the environmental conditions are worse than the standard refere...

 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 scop...

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...

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...
