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.

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

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
