Which Governor is Used in an Electric Generator


1. The function of the governor of diesel generator set

The function of the governor is to adjust the fuel supply automatically with the change of the external load of the diesel engine within the required speed range of the diesel engine, so as to keep the diesel engine speed basically stable.



2. Type of governor

A. According to the different classification of governor regulating mechanism, it can be divided into four types: mechanical type, hydraulic type, pneumatic type and electronic type.

(1) mechanical governor

The sensing element of the mechanical governor is a flying block or a flying ball, which directly pushes the actuator. Simple structure, reliable work, widely used in medium and small power diesel engines.

(2) hydraulic speed governor

The pressure governor generally uses the flying block as an inductive element to push the piston to operate the hydraulic server. This governor has small induction elements and strong versatility. A few series of dimensions can be used to meet the requirements of tens to ten thousand horsepower diesel engines. It has good stability, high adjustment precision and large driving force, and is easy to realize automatic control of diesel engine. But the structure is complex, the craft request is high, suitable for the high power diesel engine.

(3) Pneumatic governor

The moving governor uses the diaphragm to induce the change of the vacuum of the inlet pipe, and then to promote the actuating mechanism. The governor has simple structure and high sensitivity at low speed, but the power is decreased due to the throttle valve installed in the intake pipe. Therefore, it is only suitable for low power diesel engines.

(4) electronic governor (Mainly used in electric generator engine)

The electronic governor converts the change of diesel engine speed into the change of electric quantity, and controls the actuator after sampling and amplifying. This governor can adjust the fuel supply before the speed of diesel engine changes obviously, and obtain high adjusting precision, and realize parallel operation without difference.

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...
