Diesel Generator Tech

In today’s era of rapid informatization and intelligent development, remote monitoring technology has penetrated various industries, bringing unprecedented convenience and efficiency to corporate operations management and equipment maintenance. For diesel generator sets, which are critical equipment, the application of remote monitoring technology has enabled a shift from reactive response to proactive prevention, significantly enhancing maintenance efficiency and operational stability. Benefits of remote monitoring systems in diesel generators   Remote monitoring systems can continuously monitor the operating status of diesel generator sets 24/7, including key parameters such as voltage, current, frequency, temperature, fuel level, and oil pressure. Once abnormalities are detected, the system immediately issues alerts, notifying maintenance personnel to take timely action, effectively preventing faults from escalating and ensuring equipment safety. Traditional diesel generator ...

Globally, the situation of environmental pollution remains grim. Problems such as soil pollution, smog, black and odorous urban river water, garbage - surrounded cities, plastic waste, and rural environmental pollution are prominent. The task of pollution control is arduous. The call for the rapid, continuous, and healthy development of the environmental protection industry and the fight against pollution are crucial tasks for humanity. However, ignorance and greed have left terrible consequences. All these remind us that environmental protection is extremely urgent! The well - known environmental pollution incidents around the world have sounded the alarm for us. For example, in the London Smog Incident in the UK, many people felt discomfort such as chest tightness and suffocation. According to official UK statistics, more than 5,000 people died during the 5 - day period of the heavy fog, and over 8,000 people died in the two months after the fog dissipated. How terrifying it is! Co...

The water temperature gauge is used to measure the temperature of the cooling water at the outlet pipe of the diesel generator's cylinder head and is an important accessory of the unit. This gauge can promptly reflect the water temperature of the cooling system and help understand the temperature of the cooling water when the diesel generator set is operating, enabling the diesel generator set to work at a normal temperature. The water temperature gauge can intuitively display the temperature of the water in the engine water tank, ensuring that the engine operates within an appropriate temperature range. Both excessively high and low water temperatures can affect the engine's performance. The water temperature gauge assembly consists of a sensor, a sensing wire, and a dial. The sensor is installed on the outlet pipe of the cylinder head, and the dial is installed on the instrument panel, with the two connected by a sensing wire. It is most ideal for the cooling water temperatu...

With the increasing power demand and rising stability requirements, generator sets, as critical backup power equipment, make their manual starting function particularly important. It is not only the cornerstone for ensuring continuous power supply to critical loads but also serves as the direct means for operators to restore power when automation systems encounter difficulties. Below are the safety guideline for manual starting and stopping of generator sets. I. Necessary preparations before manual starting generator set 1. Safety check and system status confirmation First, perform a safety check. Ensure there are no flammable materials around the generator set, ventilation is adequate, and the exhaust pipeline is unobstructed. Carefully inspect the genset's exterior for any damage and check the control panel for any illuminated alarm indicators. Meanwhile, confirm that safety equipment such as the emergency stop button and protective covers are in proper working condition. Next, c...

In the turbo - charged and inter - cooled system of a diesel generator, when the air is compressed during the turbo - charging process, its temperature and pressure increase simultaneously. Without inter - cooling, the intake air density is limited by the adiabatic efficiency of the compressor. When the diesel engine is highly turbo - charged with a large pressure ratio, the inter - cooling technology can be used to increase the intake air density. Therefore, being familiar with the knowledge of the turbo - charged and inter - cooled system, which is a basic component of the Shangchai generator, is crucial for the later use, maintenance, and upkeep of the generator set. The editor of Dingbo Power will share relevant professional knowledge about the turbo - charged and inter - cooled system of the generator set to help everyone use the diesel generator more easily. Composition of the exhaust system of YC12VC series generator diesel engines The exhaust system of YC12VC series generator...

As a backup or main power source, the stability and reliability of diesel generator sets are directly crucial to the proper operation of electrical equipment. However, long-term idling operation (i.e., the genset running at low speed for extended periods under no load or low load conditions) can cause significant damage to its performance, lifespan, and operational efficiency. This mode of operation not only contradicts the design intent of diesel engines but may also trigger a series of chain reactions leading to faults, increasing maintenance costs and the risk of downtime. Potential risks of long-time idling of diesel generators   1. Thermal stress damage: Component overheating leading to cracks or seizure   Cooling system failure After the diesel generator set is shut down, the circulation of cooling water stops immediately, and the heat dissipation capacity drops sharply. At this point, heated components such as the cylinder head, cylinder liner, and...
