What Is the Function of Air Intake System And Exhaust System?

Air intake system and exhaust system play an important role in diesel generator. The exhaust system collects the hot gases generated from the combustion and routes them out to the atmosphere. In addition, it also helps to reduce the noise caused by the high speed flow of these gases. The air intake system works in conjunction with the exhaust system in the turbocharged engines to pull the fresh air through the filters to the cylinders. The air filters must be maintained clean and the air going through them to the engine should have as much as possible the same ambient temperature. 

What you should pay attention to is that the exhaust system must be designed to keep the resistance to exhaust flow through the system as low as possible and within the limits specified for a particular engine.

After learning the function of air intake system and exhaust system, now let's turn to know about its main components. The main parts are as follows:

1. Turbocharger (both hot and cold parts)
2. Muffler (Silencer)
3. Air filters
4. Pipes (elbows, flexible and tail pipes)

Turbocharger

As soon as the hot combustion gases leave the engine cylinder and accumulate in the exhaust manifold, the first major part of the exhaust system the gases go through is the turbocharger.

The turbocharger consists of two turbines on one shaft. The first turbine known as the hot gases going through it. The combustion gases have high pressure and high speed enough to produce a torque to drive this turbine to a very high speed. The high speed rotation of the hot turbine causes the other turbine to rotate as well. However, the second turbine is called  the cold turbine. It is completely isolated from the hot turbine and installed in different housing.

Muffler

Please note that a large part of the noise in the diesel generator sets is caused by engine's exhaust system. This noise is produced when high pressure gases intermittently leave the engine cylinders and set up vibrations in the exhaust gas flow which travel at high speed to the atmosphere.

Hope it is useful for users.

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...
