What May Cause High Coolant Temperature of A Diesel Generator?

Diesel generators are an essential backup power source and they can provide reliable power for extended periods. When using a diesel generator set, you need to pay attention to the cooling water temperature. If the coolant temperature is too high, it may cause problems such as stuck piston, cylinder scoring, decreased engine oil viscosity and reduced generator performance. What may cause the excessively high water temperature of diesel generator? Reasons for excessively high water temperature of diesel generator set Clogged radiator If the surface of radiator is mixed with engine oil, a sludge mixture of oil and dust can block the radiator and result in difficult to dissipate heat. Improper use of coolant Coolant is an important cooling material to reduce the genset temperature and water temperature of the unit. Faulty coolant or a lack thereof will seriously affect the cooling performance and even lead to a rapid rise in temperature. The engine will overheat. Cooling water pump ...

Consequences of Overloading Diesel Generator Sets

It is extremely unsafe for a diesel generator set to operate under overload, and overloading is strictly prohibited. So, what are the consequences of overloading a diesel generator set? Dingbo Power, a generator manufacturer, believes that overloading a diesel generator not only leads to high fuel consumption but also more easily causes generator set malfunctions that require repair. In general, when the load of a diesel generator set is 80% of the rated load, the fuel consumption is normally at its minimum. If the load increases, the fuel consumption will rise. The fuel consumption of a diesel generator set is directly proportional to the load. However, if the load is lower than 20%, it will have an impact on the diesel generator set. Not only will the fuel consumption of the unit increase significantly, but it may even damage the generator set. Therefore, to reduce the fuel consumption of a diesel generator, the unit can be operated at around 80% of the rated load. Running at a low...

How to Maintain Diesel Generator Sets on Construction Sites Properly?

As critical backup power equipment on construction sites, diesel generators play a vital role in ensuring the stable and reliable operation of all site operations. Regular maintenance and upkeep of diesel generator sets are key to guaranteeing their performance and lifespan. This article will provide a detailed explanation of diesel generator maintenance practices for construction sites from the following aspects. Basic Maintenance of Diesel Generator Sets Regular Inspection and Cleaning Regular visual inspections of diesel generators are essential. Make sure the exterior surface of your generator and the generator room remain clean and tidy. Trailer-mounted mobile generators are commonly used on construction sites. Generally, the regular inspection items of generator include, but are not limited to: checking the tire pressure of the trailer, checking the trailer body connection bolts for looseness, checking if the soundproof enclosure bolts are loose, and confirming that the exhaus...

Role and Function of Governor in Cummins Diesel Generator

The rated speed of our Cummins diesel generator is 1500 rpm. For the generator set to maintain a stable speed, a governor is required. The governor can automatically adjust the fuel supply according to the load changes of the diesel generator set. It can be said to be an essential factor for the stability of the Yuchai diesel generator. Now, let's specifically talk about the two main uses of the governor: 1. When the speed of the Cummins diesel generator deviates from the set value, the governor can promptly make corresponding reaction actions. It also has the function of a restoring force to return the governor to its initial state. You should know that the spring in the centrifugal governor of our diesel engine parts is the part that generates the restoring force. Such a governor is also called a statically stable governor. However, a statically stable governor may also experience dynamic instability during the adjustment process. When the adjustment action is excessive and rever...

Factors to Consider When Choosing Silent Diesel Generators

In today's society, the stability and reliability of power supply are crucial for all industries. Especially in places with strict noise requirements, such as hospitals, schools, and residential areas, silent diesel generator sets have become indispensable backup power equipment due to their low noise, high efficiency, and environmental friendliness. However, the market offers a wide variety of silent diesel gensets with varying quality, making it challenging for many users to choose high-quality products that meet international standards. How to choose a quiet diesel engine generator that best fits your needs? Read on and you will find the answer. Determine power requirements Before selecting a silent type diesel generator, you need to determine the total power requirements. The generator power capacity you choose is directly related to the performance and effectiveness of the generator set. An undersized or oversized genset won’t provide you with the expected generator performa...

Diesel Generator Price Factors and Price List

When quoting the price of a diesel generator, it's still necessary to ask the customer about their budget and then recommend brands based on the generator price budget. There are significant price differences among generators of different brands. For example, there are prices for Cummins generators, Weichai generators, Volvo generators, and Shangchai generators. The lowest prices are for Weichai and Shangchai generators, followed by the joint - venture brand Cummins generators, and finally the imported brand Volvo generators. In addition, the price of a 600kW Yuchai diesel generator is also related to the following aspects:   First, the current market price ranges widely from hundreds of thousands to millions, and there is no specific price. How much does a diesel generator cost? It is related to the brand. Different brands have different prices, so you can collect more brand information for comparison. These prices are clearly marked online and can be queried.   Second, ...
