Silent Generator Diesel Maintenance Tips

1. Low noise generator set cooling system

If the cooling system is faulty, it will cause two results. 1) insufficient cooling will cause the water temperature in the generator set to be too high and shut down; 2) Water level in the water tank is lowered by the leakage of the water tank, and the unit will not operate normally.

2. Fuel system

The increase in the amount of carbon deposits will affect the fuel injection volume of the injectors, resulting in insufficient diesel combustion, the amount of fuel injected into each cylinder of the engine is not uniform, which results in unstable operation of the silent generator.

3. Battery

If the battery is not maintained for a long time, the electrolyte will not be supplied in time after evaporation, starting the battery charger without equipment, battery will be discharged after long-term natural discharge.

4. Engine oil

The oil has a shelf life, which means that the physicochemical function of the oil will change if it is not used for a long time, and the cleanliness of the diesel generator set will deteriorate during operation, which will accelerate the wear of the unit parts.

5. Fuel tank

When water enters the diesel generating set, water vapor in the air will be condensed under the change of temperature, and the drop of water will be attached to the inner wall of the fuel tank. When the water drops into the diesel oil, the water content of the diesel will exceed the standard. After such diesel enters engine high-pressure oil pump, the precision coupling will be rusted, and if it is serious, the unit will be damaged.

6. Oil filter, fuel filter and air filter

During the operation of the soundproof electric generator set, oil or impurities will deposit on the wall of the filter, and the filter function will be degraded due to excessive filtration. If the deposition is too much, the oil circuit will not be unblocked. When the electric equipment is working, it will not be able to use properly because the oil cannot be supplied.

7. Lubrication system, sealing elements
Due to the chemical properties of the lubricating oil or grease and the iron filings after mechanical wear, these not only reduce its lubricating effect, but also damage other parts. As the lubricating oil has a certain corrosive effect on the rubber seal, other oil seals  also aging at any time to make the sealing effect decline.

8. Line connection

If the silent diesel generators are used for too long, the connection may be loose. Therefore, periodic inspection is very necessary.

Advantages of Starlight Silent Generating Sets

Starlight silent generating sets adopt vibration isolation, noise reduction, sound insulation, sound absorption, fireproof, high temperature resistance, rainproof, anticorrosion and so on noise reduction technical measures, which greatly reduce its noise index. This series of genset has remarkable low noise performance, multi-layer shielding impedance mismatch type soundproof cover, reducing the impact of noise on users.

Starlight silent generator noise level can reach 65 dB at 7 meters, with low fuel consumption, reliable performance and easy operation features. Most soundproof gensets produced by other manufacturers just can reach 75dB or 80dB.

The structure of Starlight low noise/silent diesel generators is reasonable. A large capacity fuel tank is mounted on the bottom of the unit that is enough to run 8 hours. Two maintenance doors are installed on the left and right side for unit troubleshooting. In addition, an observation window and a unit emergency shutdown failure button are provided on the box to observe the operation of the unit and stop the genset at the fastest speed in case of emergency so as to avoid damage to the gen set.

Starlight low noise/silent generators power range is from 20KW to 1000KW. If you are interested, send us email to get the price now!

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 (...

Perkins Powerful 4000 Series Engine at Middle East Electricity

The Perkins team returns to Middle East Electricity (MEE) in 2017 to promote the full range of its diesel and gas electric power engines. Taking pride of place is the 4000 Series platform, which is designed to provide prime or standby power in critical applications. The evolution of the Perkins 4000 Series The steady evolution of the powerful 4000 Series has taken place over a number of years, thanks to significant investment from Perkins.

Perkins sells hundreds of 4000 Series engines every year into the prime power market. It has built more than 50,000 4000 Series engines for some of the world’s biggest businesses, and up to 30 pe...

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...
