How to Maintain 500KW Volvo Diesel Generator Set

1.Primary technical maintenance: 50-80 hours. (Added to the content of daily maintenance)

A. Replace and clean air filter if necessary. The air filter is an unconspicuous but important part of the whole diesel generator set. Once the air filter is too dirty, it may cause serious mechanical accidents, especially in the environment and areas with poor air quality. In order to avoid shortening the service life of diesel generator, after shutdown, check the air filter in time and whether the air filter is blockage and damage. If so, clean and replace it in time.

B. Check and replace the fuel filter and water filter;

C. Check the tension of the drive belt;

D. Add lubricating oil to all oil injection nozzles and lubricating parts;

E. Replace cooling water.

2.Secondary technical maintenance: 250-300 hours. (Added to the contents of daily maintenance and primary maintenance)

A. Clean the piston, piston pin, cylinder sleeve, piston ring and connecting rod bearing of diesel generator regularly, and check its wear situation;

B. Check whether the inner and outer rings of the rolling main bearing are loose;

C. Remove the scale and sediment in the water channel of the cooling water system;

D. Remove the carbon deposit in the combustion chamber of the cylinder and the inlet and exhaust pipe;

E. Check the matching wear of valve, valve seat, push rod and rocker arm, and make grinding adjustment;

F. Clean the carbon deposit on the turbocharger rotor, check the wear situation of the bearing and impeller, and repair them if necessary;

G. Check whether the bolts of the coupling between the diesel generator and the diesel engine are loose and slip. If there is problem, should replace in time.

3.There-level technical maintenance: 500-1000 hours. (Added to the contents of daily maintenance, primary maintenance and secondary maintenance)

A. Check and adjust fuel injection lift angle;

B. Clean the fuel tank;

C. Clean the oil pan;

D. Check the atomization of fuel injection nozzle.

Diesel engine is easy to break down when diesel generator set runs for a long time, we must also pay attention to the overall inspection of the diesel engine. If not found and handled in time, the generator set may be damaged over time.

After the above technical maintenance, it can basically help the use of 500kw Volvo diesel generator, reduce the probability of failure, and extend the service life.

4.Medium maintenance

After the diesel generator set runs total 6000-8000 hours, we can carry out medium maintenance. The specific maintenance contents are as follows:

A. Check the wear degree of the valve and valve seat, and repair or replace if necessary;

B. Check the working condition of PT pump and fuel injector, repair and adjust if necessary;

C. Check and adjust the torque between connecting rod and every fastening screw;

D. Check and adjust the valve clearance of diesel generator set;

E. Adjust the fuel injector stroke;

F. Check and adjust the tension of fan charger belt;

G. Clean the carbon deposit in the intake branch pipe;

H. Clean intercooler core;

I. Clean the whole oil lubrication system of the diesel generator set;

J. Clean the oil sludge and metal scrap of rocker arm chamber and oil pan;

K. Check the easy-to-break parts of cylinder liner, piston, piston ring, intake and exhaust valve, etc. crank and connecting rod mechanism, gas distribution mechanism, lubrication system, cooling system. Replace if necessary;

L. Check the fuel supply system of diesel generator set and adjust the oil nozzle of oil pump;

M. Repair and test the electric ball of the generator, clean the grease and sediment, and lubricate the electric ball bearing.

In order to prolong the service life of 500kw Volvo diesel generator set, attention should be paid to maintenance. Be sure to unload the load before shutdown, and do not shut down with load. Try not to operate the generator set with high power for a long time under the condition of poor environment, and check it regularly.

Diesel Generator Power Ratings: Standby vs Prime vs Continuous

Diesel generator sets are commonly used in a variety of sectors due to their dependable performance and high efficiency. They can be used for emergency power supply in the event of a power cut or used in places without connection to a power grid. When selecting a diesel generator for your home or business, you need to consider many factors, such as generator’s ratings. In this article, we’ll explain the three basic rating types - standby, prime, and continuous in diesel generators. ISO-8528-1:2018 defines basic generator set rating categories based on four operational categories: Emergency Standby Power (ESP), Prime Power (PRP), Continuous Power (COP) and Limited-Time Running Prime (LTP). Read on and learn the application of power ratings for engines used in generating sets. Standby Power Rating Standby Power(ESP) is used to supply emergency power when the external power supply is interrupted, such as power outages. Standby power rated generators can supply reliable electricity as t...

How to Choose a Household Mini Generator

With the improvement of people's living standards, there are more and more household appliances, such as rice cookers, microwaves, kettles, refrigerators, air - conditioners, washing machines, etc. It can be said that every household has them. But what if there is a power outage? These appliances won't work properly, and our lives will be greatly disrupted. How can we avoid this? We can use household mini - generators to provide convenience in power consumption. So, how to choose a good household mini - generator? Consider the noise level Since it is for household use, when choosing a household mini - generator, we need to check whether the noise will affect the neighbors. Generally, the seller will demonstrate the performance of the generator in advance. A good household generator can reduce noise by about 80%. Choose a generator with a moderate price Due to different brands, there are significant differences in power, and consequently, the price differences of househ...

How to Choose Efficient Diesel Generators for the Film and Television Industry?

In the film and television industry, the stability of the electricity supply during filming is crucial. Whether the equipment are the cameras or the lighting equipment on the filming site, or the post-production equipment, they all need stable and reliable power support. Unstable or interrupted power can result in interrupted filming, damage to equipment, and even affecting the progress and quality of the entire project. Therefore, investing in high-efficiency diesel generator sets has become an important measure for the film and television industry to ensure the reliable power supply for shooting. Determine the power requirements Before choosing a diesel generator set for the film and television industry, it’s necessary to figure out the total power needs, including the electricity demand of the shooting location, the total power of the electrical equipment and the time of using electricity. Also consider whether there are special needs for the generators such as low noise level and...
