Maintenance Contributes to Stable Operation of Diesel Generator Sets

 I believe that all users know that diesel generators, like all mechanical equipment, require regular maintenance. Proper maintenance will help improve the safe and stable operation of diesel generator sets. As a leader in the diesel generator industry, Jiangsu Starlight Electricity Equipments Co.,Ltd. will introduce to you how to properly maintain the diesel generator set.

1. Check for fuel delivery problems.

Inspection of fuel delivery is an important generator set maintenance technique. It will ultimately help you increase the productivity of your generator set. There is a carburetor inside the genset engine. The main purpose of the carburetor is to mix the gasoline in the tank with air. This must be sufficient for ignition to occur in the engine. If it fails when starting the generator, you can say that your generator set has a fuel delivery problem. It must be ensured that the carburetor has the proper fuel needed to start the equipment. Eliminating the air filter can also help you understand if the problem is related to improper fuel delivery in the unit. Certain precautions need to be followed when operating a used 500kw generator in your workplace.

2. Carefully check the exhaust holes in the generator set.

Find a small hole or valve near the gas cap. This design allows fuel to flow out of the tank and carburetor. If this particular vent is completely blocked, fuel will not be able to flow inside the carburetor and your engine will not start working. If it's just not fully clogged, then the engine may also start and may not run efficiently or stall after a while. The best way to fix this is to use a short length of wire or a small amount of compressed air to clear the vents.

3. Regularly check the fuel lines in the generator set.

When you notice fuel lines clogged, leaking, or damaged by debris, don't bother trying to fix them. The best way to think about it is to change them. The only option is to buy properly sized fuel lines, which are readily available in stores that supply auto parts. And Starlight Power can provide the best brand of generator sets, such as Yuchai diesel generators, Cummins diesel generators, etc.


 

4. Regularly check the switch and automatic transfer switch.

Replacing damaged and broken switches and automatic transfer switches is also an important generator set maintenance technique to improve their performance. It's easy to replace the power cord if it breaks. Starlight Power offers brand new industrial generators for sale, you can choose according to your preferences and requirements.

5. Regularly check the fuel filter.

Another essential generator set maintenance tip is to check the fuel filter from time to time. Few generator sets include an inline clear plastic fuel filter. All such filters are designed to prevent any debris or dirt from the gasoline from entering the carburetor. If the filter is simply clogged, the carburetor won't get any fuel and will end up making the engine hard to start. If started, the engine may work roughly. Therefore, the fuel filter must be constantly checked to improve the performance of the entire genset.

The above are some of the maintenance methods for diesel generator sets organized by Jiangsu Starlight Electricity Equipments Co.,Ltd. for you. In order to maintain stable performance of diesel generator sets for a long time, users must abide by the relevant operation and maintenance rules of the generator set.

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

Types of Diesel Engine and Application of Diesel Generator

This article will guide you to learn diesel engine types and important role of diesel generator. If you are interested, please keep reading.  What Are Diesel Engines? A type of internal combustion engine more accurately known as a compression ignition engine is designed to provide power by compressing the fuel at high temperature and significant pressure until it ignites. Diesel engines are either two-stroke or four-stroke .   ‘Stroke’ means the movement of the piston in the engine. Two-stroke This engine uses one stroke in each direction.   The first stroke being compression, which results in the ignition of the compressed fuel.   The return stroke brings new fuel into the cylinder. Four-stroke This engine has one compression stroke and one exhaust stroke and each one of those has a return stroke – hence, four-stroke. The compression stroke compresses the fuel/air mixture prior to ignition.   The exhaust stroke pushes the burnt gases out the exhaust. The
