Correct Steps to Start Diesel Genset

Learning how to correctly start a diesel generator is not an easy thing. Starting incorrectly, it may have a bad effect on the diesel generator set. It can be said that correct steps are the precondition to guarantee the normal operation of the unit. Then what are the correct steps to start a diesel generator? Through reading this article, you will get the answer.
1. Check whether the water tank is full of water. In winter, check whether the antifreeze is full
2. Check the oil level, fuel level, and radiator water level. If the level is lower than the specified value, it should be added to the normal position.
3. Check whether all the switch position is correct to meet the start requirements.
4. Check whether the diesel genset “Emergency Stop”button on the dashboard is correct.
5. Check whether the outlet switch of the unit is off-position.
6. Check whether the genset preheating is normal. When the indoor temperature is lower than 20 degree Celsius, the electric heater should be opened to preheat the diesel generator set.
7. Make sure there is no oil leakage or water leakage phenomenon. No debris in the genset and exhaust port.
8. Check whether the battery and voltage is normal.
9. Check whether alternator and diesel engine circuit is normal and firm.

10. Check whether the genset controller indicator light is normal.

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 (...

Engine Fault Code Messages - Volvo Penta Engine

Volvo Penta Engine Fault Code When a malfunction has occurred and the diagnostic system has generated one or more fault codes, these are read out differently depending on the equipment used. Please refer to “Fault code messages”. If the system indicates that a fault code has been set: 1 Cut engine speed to idle, or shut the Volvo engine off. 2 For DCU/DU Read the fault code from the display, please refer to Reading fault codes via the DCU or Reading fault codes via the DU. For CIU press the diagnostic button and read the fault code, by observing the flashing of the diagnostic lamp. Refer to Reading fault codes via the diagnostic lamp, CIU. 3 Look up the fault code in the Fault Code Register chapter and take the recommended measures. Reading fault codes via the DU (Display Unit) Depending on the severity of the fault the text, either WARNING! or ALARM STOP (a buzzer sounds) will be shown on the display 1 Press any button to come to the fault list. The f...

Main Structural Features of Natural Gas Engine - Weichai WP13NG Gas Generator

1.1 Main structural features of natural gas engine ● A cover per cylinder, dependable operation, easy disassembly. ● Frame-type main bearing structure and high complete machine rigidity which benefits the reliability and  service life of complete machine. ● Electronic throttle is adopted to control engine revolving speed. ● Mixture supply system uses mixer to regulate air-fuel ratio and adopts proportional mix and supercharged inter-cooling method to stabilize gas supply. ● Water-cooling middle case turbocharger applicable to gas engine features is selected and circulating  water shall be used to cool down turbocharger lubrication cooling oil so as to effectively prevent  pressure bearing lubricating oil from coking and to improve turbocharger’s reliability. ● Designed gas mixing system satisfies gas fuel features to effectively support stable lean burn and enhance thermal efficiency. ● Two pairs of friction couples of inlet, outl...
