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 (...

Baudouan Weichai 1530KW Diesel Generator Set 16M33 Series Engine

Weichai is the earliest enterprise in China to develop and produce generator sets, with a production history of over 60 years. It mainly produces land - based and marine generator sets, including diesel - type and gas - type units. Weichai's M33 series engines include 6M33, 12M33, and 16M33 diesel engines. These are high - power high - speed diesel engines independently developed by Weichai based on the mature product platform of Baudouin's M26 series in France. The development of this series of models fills the gap in Weichai's high - speed diesel engines for power generation in the 500 - 1530kW power range, enabling effective competition with foreign brands. The M33 series Weichai engines inherit and carry forward the advanced product development and design concepts of the French Baudouin M26. They are benchmarked against international advanced engines, effectively avoiding various design defects. The product development emphasizes high reliability and low emissions. Th...

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...
