Components of Diesel Engine Fuel System

This article mainly introduces the major components of diesel engine fuel system. Moreover,  each part is described in details. If you are interested, take a few time to read it.
In most generating unit diesel engines, the fuel system loop consists of  the following major parts:

1. Day Fuel Tank
2. Fuel Water Separator
3. Fuel Strainer
4. Fuel Supply Pump
5. Fuel Filter
6. Fuel Injection Pump
7. Injectors
8. Return line to the day tank
About Day Fuel Tank
The day fuel tank is designed and fabricated with sufficient capacity to supply the diesel generator for at least 6 to 8 hours, and some times up to 12 hours at its full rated load. For small genset below 250 KW the day fuel tank is usually an integral part of the genset skid base. It becomes a separate free-standing rectangular or cylindrical tank for bigger genset.
About Fuel Water Separator
Fuel Water Separator is a primary filtration unit used to remove the water from the diesel fuel before it reaches  to the sensitive parts of the engine. Water and contaminants have a direct impact on the service life and performance of diesel engines.
About Fuel Strainer
the fuel strainer if the first stage of filtering the solid particles from the diesel. Usually any sensitive instrumentation is fitted after this point so it is to prevent the harmful solid particles to reach these parts and also block the relatively big particles from reaching the fuel filters. The strainer delivers the fuel to the lifting pump.
About Fuel Pump
Fuel injection pumps must be supplied with fuel under pressure because they have insufficient suction ability. All diesel injection systems require a supply pump transfer fuel from the supply tank through the filters and lines to the injection pump.
About Fuel Filters
The purpose of any diesel fuel filter is to remove foreign particles as well as water. If  the filter is installed on the pressure side of  the boost pump it must have sufficient strength to handle pump pressure without bursting or leaking. As with all fuel system components, the filter must be located well away from sources of heat, preferably outside of the engine compartment.

About Fuel Injection Piping
These pipes should have the same volume so that that the injection pump delivers exact equal amount to the cylinder injectors.
About Fuel Injector
The injector atomizes the diesel fuel and spray it into the combustion chamber. The injector consists mainly of the nozzle and the nozzle holder.

What Is the Difference Between Electric Motor and Electric Generator

An electric motor is an electrical machine that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. Most electric motors operate through the interaction between the motor's magnetic field and winding currents to generate force. In certain applications, such as in regenerative braking with traction motors, electric motors can be used in reverse as generators to recover energy that might otherwise be lost as heat and friction. An electric generator operates in the reverse direction, converting mechanical energy into electrical energy. Electric generator can be divided into various type, open type, silent type, trailer type, portable type and container type, etc. Electric generator is mainly composed of diesel engine & alternator. Electric generator set is mainly composed of engine, alternator, control module, and common base. Electric generator :- Electric generator is a type of machine which converts mechanical input (energy) into electrical output (...

Factors to Consider When Choosing Diesel Generators for Data Centers

As the core facilities for data storage, processing and transmission, data centers’ stability and reliability are crucial in today's information age. Once the power supply interruption occurs, it can lead to data loss, business interruption, and even more serious consequences. Therefore, investing in one or more high-quality   diesel generators   for a data center is a key measure to ensure the continuity of power supply. Today, Dingbo Power will share several key factors that need to consider when purchasing data center diesel generator sets. Power requirements First of all, assess the power requirements of the data center based on the actual load conditions. This includes calculating the total power requirements of all critical equipment, as well as considering a possible increase in future needs. When selecting a diesel generator for the data center, make sure that the unit’s rated power can meet or exceed the peak load demand of the data center to ensure stable power suppl...
