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 (...

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...
