Main Noise Sources of Diesel Generator


The noise of diesel generator mainly comes from diesel engine and generator. In order to reduce the noise of generator set, the main noise source should be controlled, and the key to the control is to find the main sound source accurately.




I Main noise sources of Diesel engines

1. Intake and exhaust noise

Intake and exhaust noise is the strongest noise source of diesel engine.

The intake noise is mainly the pressure pulsation of air in the intake pipe, the low frequency noise, the high frequency eddy current noise produced by the air flowing through the inlet valve section at high speed, and the noise of the turbocharger compressor of the turbocharged diesel engine.

The exhaust noise is mainly the pressure pulsation of exhaust gas in the exhaust pipe, which produces low and medium frequency noise, and the high frequency eddy current noise at the flow section of the exhaust valve.

2. burner noise

The combustion of combustible mixture in cylinder causes the rapid change of gas pressure, which causes the piston, cylinder head, connecting rod, piston pin, crankshaft and other parts to be subjected to impact load, resulting in structural vibration and noise.

3. mechanical noise

Due to the periodic changes and impact of the forces between the parts of the diesel engine, the surface vibration produces noise. The mechanical noise increases rapidly with the speed of the engine. The main parts of the mechanical noise are piston, cylinder head, cylinder block, cylinder liner, connecting rod, piston pin, crankshaft, valve train, gear, spray. The design of the components, the quality of the manufacturing and the selection of materials have an important effect on the noise. The structural stiffness of the diesel engine, the speed of the engine and the clearance of the moving parts are the main factors affecting the mechanical noise.

II Main noise sources of generators

1. ventilation noise

Electromagnetic noise is caused by the interaction of stator and rotor magnetic field in the air gap of generator to produce radial force varying with time and space, which causes the stator core and seat to deform periodically and cause vibration and noise.

2. electromagnetic noise

Electromagnetic noise is caused by the interaction of stator and rotor magnetic field in the air gap of generator to produce radial force varying with time and space, which causes the stator core and seat to deform periodically and cause vibration and noise.

3. mechanical noise

The mechanical noise of generator includes mechanical vibration and noise caused by centrifugal force caused by rotor mechanical imbalance, vibration noise of bearing, sliding contact noise of brush collector ring or commutator, axial vibration noise of end cover excited by bearing vibration.

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...

How to Connect A Diesel Generator to Your House?

Diesel generators are fuel-efficient and reliable, which can almost meet the power needs of any application. If you want to power the whole house during power shortages, it’s a good choice to choose a diesel generator set as the backup electricity supply. But how to connect a diesel generator to your house? Read on and you will find the answer. Options to connect a diesel generator to your home   Keep in mind that never plug your generator directly into the mains, or it will cause back feeding, damage your appliances and be life-threatening for utility workers. Generally, you can choose to connect a generator to your house by using extension cords or a transfer switch. Understanding the difference between them is helpful for you to choose the right type. Extension cords   Typically, extension cords are suitable for smaller diesel generators that used for short term. They require no installation and are cost-effective. If you need to power only some basic appliances such as...

What Should You Pay Attention to in Routine Maintenance of Diesel Generator Sets

In modern society, the stability of power supply is directly related to the operation efficiency of enterprises and people's quality of life. Diesel generators have become an indispensable backup power supply or main power source in various industries due to their high efficiency, durability and reliability. However, to ensure the smooth operation and optimal performance of the generator sets, regular maintenance is essential. Here is what you need to pay attention to in the routine maintenance of diesel generators. Keep your generator clean It’s important to keep the generator’s exterior and the generator room clean. Regularly remove any dirt, dust, or debris that may accumulate to on the generator’s surface. This is not only for the sake of beauty, but also for the smooth operation of the unit. Cleaning the generator’s exterior, air intake vents, exhaust outlets and generator room can effectively reduce the risk of generator overheating. In addition, check if the connection bol...
