How to Choose Fuel, Lubrication Oil and Coolant of Yuchai Diesel Engine

Don't know how to select engine fuel, lubrication oil and coolant? Don't worry, this post will guide you to select the right one.
① Fuel
The fuel should be selected according to ambient temperature. The selection should comply with light Diesel Fuel(GB252 choice fuel and first class fuel).
Ambient temperature


② Oil
Lubricating oil should be selected according to the ambient condition. The class of oil should not be lower than CD class of GB11122–1997
Ambient temperature




③ Coolant
The coolant should be anti-freezing, especially when the engine is used in the plateau and in cold weather(below 0℃). It is good for the engine. The most used anti-freezer is glycol-water, which is a mixture of glycol and water( soft water is best. such as well water, spring water or other hard water, it should be mixed 2g tri-sodium phosphate with one liter water for softing). Selection of different proportionality coolant should vary with the ambient temperature.




Note:
When the percentage of the glycol is above 68%, its freezing point rises. So the percentage of the glycol should not be above 68% when you make up anti-freezer. Glycol is a transparent, viscid, poisonous liquid. Wash your skin with water immediately if it contacts your skin. Glycol is flammable. So, do not weld or light fire when there is coolant leakage.
When there is an emergency, anti-freeze can be replaced by soft water, such as tap water and rain water. Otherwise there will be scale on the wall of water jackets of diesel engine and the deposit will weaken cooling effect and cause the engine to over heat.

Diesel Generator Power Ratings: Standby vs Prime vs Continuous

Diesel generator sets are commonly used in a variety of sectors due to their dependable performance and high efficiency. They can be used for emergency power supply in the event of a power cut or used in places without connection to a power grid. When selecting a diesel generator for your home or business, you need to consider many factors, such as generator’s ratings. In this article, we’ll explain the three basic rating types - standby, prime, and continuous in diesel generators. ISO-8528-1:2018 defines basic generator set rating categories based on four operational categories: Emergency Standby Power (ESP), Prime Power (PRP), Continuous Power (COP) and Limited-Time Running Prime (LTP). Read on and learn the application of power ratings for engines used in generating sets. Standby Power Rating Standby Power(ESP) is used to supply emergency power when the external power supply is interrupted, such as power outages. Standby power rated generators can supply reliable electricity as t...
