What Is the Function of Diesel Generator Engine Oil


Engine oil is generally used for lubrication, cooling, sealing, heat transfer and rust prevention. The surface of each moving part of the engine is covered with lubricating oil to form an oil film, avoiding the heat and wear of the parts.

Regular replacement of oil to ensure the stable operation of diesel generator set. Such maintenance can effectively extend the service life of the diesel genset. Therefore, in the process of using the diesel generating set, it is necessary to determine the replacement time of the genset accurately. How long does it take to replace the oil of the diesel generator?

The oil used by different diesel generator manufacturers and diesel generators of different power is different. In general, the new engine works for 50 hours for the first time and 50 hours after repair or overhaul. The oil replacement cycle is usually carried out at the same time as the oil filter (filter element). The general oil replacement cycle is 250 hours or one month. Using Class 2 oil, the oil can be replaced after 400 hours of work, but the oil filter (filter element) must be replaced.



The function of diesel generator engine oil

1. Sealing and leakproof: The oil can form a sealing ring between the piston ring and the piston to reduce gas leakage and prevent external pollutants from entering.

2. Anti-rust and anti-corrosion: Lubricating oil can suck on the surface of parts to prevent water, air, acidic substances and harmful gas from coming into contact with parts.

3. Lubrication and wear reduction: There is a rapid relative sliding between the piston and the cylinder, and between the main shaft and the bearing bush. To prevent excessive wear of the part, an oil film is required between the two sliding surfaces. An oil film of sufficient thickness separates the surface of the relatively sliding part to reduce wear.

4. Cleaning: Good oil can bring the carbide, sludge and wear metal particles on the engine parts back to the oil tank, and flush the dirt generated on the working surface of the parts through the flow of lubricating oil.

5. Cooling: The oil can bring heat back to the oil tank and then dissipate it into the air to help cool the tank.

6. Shock absorption and buffering: When the pressure in the engine cylinder port rises sharply, the load on the piston, piston chip, connecting rod and crankshaft bearing is suddenly increased. This load is transmitted through the bearing to lubricate, so that the impact load can be buffered.

For various reasons, when the oil is not replaced, the oil has gone bad. If the oil is deteriorated, it must be replaced. How to judge whether the lubricating oil has deteriorated?

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...
