How to Maintain and Repair Internal Combustion Engine


The diesel generator set internal combustion engine repair is a planned repair near the overhaul room, mainly to balance the different service life between the various parts to ensure or extend the interval between overhauls. The scope of work is between minor repairs and overhauls. In general, it is to replace or repair 1-2 main assemblies, check the technical status of the remaining assemblies, and eliminate the faults, and make necessary adjustments and adjustments.

The basic contents are: changing the filter element of the oil and fuel filter; adjusting the fuel injection quality of the fuel injection pump (high pressure oil pump) and the injector (mouth), grinding out the oil valve assembly; repairing the piston connecting rod set and the governor , pump and oil pump, etc.; replace the piston, connecting rod copper sleeve, bearing bush, valve, valve spring and lock piece; etc.; correct the engine compression ratio.

Basic content and judgement conditions of diesel generator set internal combustion engine overhaul.


Diesel generator engine overhaul is a restorative repair. The main purpose of this paper is to restore the dynamic performance, economic performance and fastening performance of the diesel engine, to ensure the complete condition of the diesel engine, and to extend its service life.


Its basic content is, repair or replace crankshaft, connecting rod, cylinder liner, valve seat and valve duct. Repair of eccentric bearings; replacement of plunger pairs, oil delivery valve pairs and needle valve pair. Repair welding oil pipe and joints; repair water pump, governor, remove water scale scale; inspect, repair, adjust lines, instruments, charging generators and starter motors in the power supply system; install, inspect, test, adjust each system, and load test.


The timing of diesel engine overhaul should generally be determined according to the specific working hours and technical conditions. The working hours of the same type of internal combustion engine are different. For example, the first overhaul period of 4135 diesel engine is 6000 hours. This time is not inflexible, for example, due to improper maintenance or poor working conditions of the internal combustion engine (dusty, often overloaded, etc.). it may not be used until the working hours are reached. Therefore, in determining the internal combustion engine overhaul, in addition to working hours, but also according to the following overhaul criteria.

1. Internal combustion engine work powerless (after the load decreased speed, sound mutation), exhaust smoke.

2. Internal combustion engine is difficult to start at room temperature. Crank bearing, connecting rod bearing and piston pin are percussive after heating.

3. At normal temperature, the cylinder pressure of the internal combustion engine is less than 70% of the standard pressure.

4. Internal combustion engine fuel and oil consumption increased significantly.

5. Misroundness and conical degree of cylinder, clearance between piston and cylinder, misroundness of crankshaft journal and connecting rod journal.

During the overhaul of the diesel engine ,the main parts of the diesel generator should be repaired, and the whole engine should be decompossed into assemblies, assemblies and parts, and checked and classified, and thoroughly inspected according to the technical conditions for repairs. Repair and reloading test.

How to do the cleaning work before the disassembly of diesel generator sets

it is an important link to do the maintenance work well in the process of maintenance of diesel generator set internal combustion engine. Cleaning methods and cleaning quality have an important impact on the accuracy, maintenance quality, maintenance cost and service life of unit parts. Cleaning of diesel generator engine parts includes oil removal, scale, carbon deposition, rust layer and old paint layer.



According to the material quality, precision degree, dirt property and cleaning requirement of each working procedure, different cleaning methods must be adopted to select suitable equipment, tools, process and cleaning medium. In order to obtain good cleaning effect.

Cleaning before disassembly mainly refers to external cleaning before disassembly. The purpose of external cleaning is to remove a large amount of dust, oil, sand and other dirt accumulated outside the mechanical equipment, so as to disassemble and avoid bringing dirt, sludge and the like into the repairing place. External cleaning is generally done by tap water, that is, the tap water is connected to the cleaning part by a hose, the oil is flushed with water, and the thick layer of the scraper is used. High-pressure water scouring, that is, high-pressure water flow with a pressure of 1 to 10 MPa is used for scouring. For thicker thick layers of soil, an appropriate amount of chemical cleaning agent can be added to increase the spray pressure and water temperature.

Common external cleaning equipment are: single-gun jet cleaning machine, which is a flushing action by a high-pressure continuous jet or a jet combined with the chemical action of the cleaning agent to remove dirt; a multi-nozzle jet cleaning machine with door frame moving and tunnel fixing There are two types, the nozzle installation position and the number vary depending on the purpose of the device.

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.

Types of Diesel Engine and Application of Diesel Generator

This article will guide you to learn diesel engine types and important role of diesel generator. If you are interested, please keep reading.  What Are Diesel Engines? A type of internal combustion engine more accurately known as a compression ignition engine is designed to provide power by compressing the fuel at high temperature and significant pressure until it ignites. Diesel engines are either two-stroke or four-stroke .   ‘Stroke’ means the movement of the piston in the engine. Two-stroke This engine uses one stroke in each direction.   The first stroke being compression, which results in the ignition of the compressed fuel.   The return stroke brings new fuel into the cylinder. Four-stroke This engine has one compression stroke and one exhaust stroke and each one of those has a return stroke – hence, four-stroke. The compression stroke compresses the fuel/air mixture prior to ignition.   The exhaust stroke pushes the burnt gases out the exhaust. The
