Diesel Generator In-line Engine is Better than V Type Engine?


In-line Engine: In-line is a widely used cylinder arrangement. All of its cylinders are arranged side by side in a plane. Its cylinder and crankshaft are simple in structure and use a cylinder head. It has low manufacturing cost, high stability, low speed torque characteristics, low fuel consumption and compact size. The disadvantage is that the power is low. When the displacement and the number of cylinders increase, the length of the engine will increase greatly. At present, the number of cylinders of the mainstream in-line engine is 4 cylinders and 6 cylinders.

In-line engines are generally suitable for diesel generator sets of 20 kW to 600 kW.

V-type engine divides all the cylinders into two groups, and arranges the adjacent cylinders at a certain angle together, so that the two groups of cylinders form a plane with an angle, and the cylinder has a V-shaped engine from the side. Starlight Diesel Generator V-type engine has a small height and length and is stable in operation. It facilitates increased displacement and power by expanding the cylinder diameter and is suitable for higher number of cylinders. In addition, the V-type engine cylinders are arranged in the opposite direction, which can also offset part of the vibration and make the engine run smoother.



The disadvantage of the V-type engine is that two cylinder heads must be used, which is complicated in structure and high in cost. In addition, after the width is increased, the space on both sides of the engine is small, and it is difficult to arrange other devices.

At present, many Chinese diesel gensets use V-type 12-cylinder and 16-cylinder engines. For example, Yuchai 12VC and 16VC are both V-type engines. Suitable for heavy duty diesel generator sets from 1000kw to 2400kw. The power of the V-type diesel generator set is relatively large.

Yuchai 12VC model characteristics:

1. High-strength material, reinforced grid structure with cambered surface , 4-bolt main bearing structure, are adopted for the engine body; thus the engine body is characterized by high stiffness, slight vibration, and lower noise.

2. The crankshaft is made of high-quality alloy steel by using all fiber extrusion forging process, and the journey and circular bead are subject to quencing heat treatment for improving wear resistance and prolonging service life.

3. Electronic unit pump, four-valve structure, high-efficient turbocharged intercooled, and Yuchai combustion technologies are adopted for realizing low fuel consumption, less emission, outstanding speed governing performance, and fast and high-quality loading.

4. The structure of one head for one cylinder is adopted; maintenance window is set at the side of the engine body, which ensures easy maintenance.

5. The world-class equipment and technologies are used for production; thus, the quality of such model is stable and reliable.

6. Requirements for Grade G3 generator set performance is satisfied.

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 (...

Perkins Powerful 4000 Series Engine at Middle East Electricity

The Perkins team returns to Middle East Electricity (MEE) in 2017 to promote the full range of its diesel and gas electric power engines. Taking pride of place is the 4000 Series platform, which is designed to provide prime or standby power in critical applications. The evolution of the Perkins 4000 Series The steady evolution of the powerful 4000 Series has taken place over a number of years, thanks to significant investment from Perkins. Its development means the engine is used for prime and standby applications by original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and end-users. The 4000 Series is tough and durable, provides consistent performance in the harshest conditions, and is proving to be a constant, reliable electric power source for prime applications all over the world. Perkins sells hundreds of 4000 Series engines every year into the prime power market. It has built more than 50,000 4000 Series engines for some of the world’s biggest businesses, and up to 30 pe...

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.
