Reasons for The Power Reduction During Generator Set Operation

 It has been known from the working process of the diesel engine of the generator set that the diesel fuel is injected into the cylinder and mixed with the hot air, and then ignites and burns to generate power. Therefore, the horsepower of the diesel engine is naturally related to the amount of air and the amount of diesel it can burn. In this article, Starlight Power Generation Equipment will introduce it in detail.

At high altitudes, due to the decrease in atmospheric pressure, the air density decreases, and the weight of the air drawn into the cylinders of the generator set is correspondingly reduced, which limits the amount of diesel that can be burned, and the horsepower decreases. For the same reason, the high temperature and humidity of the air will also reduce the horsepower of the diesel engine of the generator set. Therefore, the use of diesel engines in different regions, or under different atmospheric conditions in the same region, should consider this power change. For example, the same diesel engine can produce less power in summer than in winter.


When the diesel engine of the generator set works, many parts slide or rotate relative to each other at a high speed under a certain load, such as piston and cylinder liner, crankshaft and bearing, etc. Although the surfaces of these parts are lubricated to different degrees, with the increase of working time, the surfaces in contact with each other will inevitably wear due to friction, and gradually destroy the original size and geometry. This normal wear and tear is often referred to as "natural wear" and is actually unavoidable. But this is by no means to say that there is nothing we can do about wear and tear and let it take its course.


In fact, by correctly selecting the materials of the mutually matched parts, adopting advanced and reasonable heat treatment methods, improving the processing quality and matching conditions of the contact surfaces of the generator set parts, improving cooling and lubrication, and taking active measures in timely maintenance, such wear will be reduced. Significantly reduced, thereby improving the reliability of the diesel engine and prolonging its service life.

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 (...

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. The f...

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.
