Steps to Storage Diesel Generator Set


The diesel generator set shall be stored according to the steps. It includes cleaning the unit completely, keeping the unit dry and ventilated, and replacing new lubricating oil of proper quality. Completely drain the water in the water tank and conduct rust prevention treatment for the unit.

Storage of automatic diesel generator when not in use in a short period of time.

1.Empty diesel oil.

2.Turn the piston of the diesel engine to the top dead center of compression.

3.Store indoors and and cover it with a cloth.

4.Don't put it in a wet place.

5.Do not put together with inflammable, explosive and corrosive articles.

6.Turn the crankshaft regularly.



Storage of automatic diesel generator when not in use for a long time.

1.First, it shall be carried out according to the items not used in a short period of time.

2.Clean the dirt on surface of whole set of diesel generator. Clean the unit with compressed air.

3.Fill the generator with desiccant and cover the generator end with thick paper. Cover air vent well and fasten with a rope.

4.Empty the engine oil in the oil filter, air filter, etc.

5.Inject 100-200g oil into each cylinder from exhaust manifold. Turn the crankshaft of the diesel engine dozens of times, so that the oil is evenly distributed in the cylinder and the piston is at the top dead center of compression.

6.Remove the valve cover and lubricate the valve structure with dehydrated oil.

7.Seal the exhaust port, air filter, fuel tank vent, smoke vent of low-temperature starting device, etc. with oiled paper.

8.Use detergent to clean diesel engine, alternator, coupling port, frame and components, tools and accessories etc. Of generator. Spread butter for needed part.

9.Rotate the crankshaft 1-2 times a month, and make the piston at the top dead center of compression after each rotation.

Long term storage of diesel generator sets will have a decisive adverse effect on diesel engines and alternators, and proper storage can minimize the adverse effect. Therefore, the correct storage method is very necessary.

In order to prevent the engine and other accessories of the cooling system from freezing and cracking, and prevent the cooling water from corroding the engine body for a long time, add antifreeze when the unit is used in the area where may be frozen. Antifreeze proportion shall refer to the proportion configuration recommended by the diesel engine manufacturer. During long-term storage, the cooling water in the engine and other accessories of the cooling system must be drained.

The unit shall be stored to avoid overheating, supercooling, rain, sun, etc. When storing batteries of the genset, should avoid direct exposure under sunlight or rain.

After a period of storage, it should be noted to check whether the diesel generator set is damaged before installation and use. Comprehensively check whether the electrical part of the unit is oxidized, whether all connecting parts are loose, whether the main generator coil is still dry and whether the engine body surface is clean and dry etc. If necessary, appropriate measures shall be taken to deal with it.

The storage of temporarily unused diesel generator set is also an important point. Hope this article is helpful to you.

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...
