What are the Faults of Diesel Generators

 Under the prerequisites of mastering the working principle, structure, adjustment and maintenance of diesel generator sets, it is also necessary to deeply understand the conditions under which the generator set operates normally and under which conditions it is prone to failure. If a fault is caused, how to analyze the cause of the fault according to the problem phenomenon, through in-depth and detailed analysis, propose the correct processing method, and quickly and accurately eliminate the fault problem. Diesel generator failure problems often show one or more unique failure problem phenomena. Different working conditions, the phenomenon of failure problems will be different. These fault phenomena are usually audible, visible, tactile or measurable in nature. All in all, the failure phenomenon has the following five aspects:

1. The function is abnormal. If the unit is not easy to start. With no load (that is, slow down or stop after loading). The speed and frequency are abnormal, the fuel or oil consumption is too large, the voltage decreases or disappears, and the unit vibrates violently.

2. The sound is abnormal, such as abnormal cylinder knocking, gun blasting, hissing, exhaust sound, periodic friction sound, pinning sound, valve foot sound, gear sound, unstable speed (travel), etc.

3. Abnormal temperature. The normal working temperature of the unit is about 85 ℃, and the abnormal temperature mainly refers to the oil temperature is too high, the cooling water temperature is too high, the bearing is overheated, the temperature difference of the exhaust manifold is too large, etc.

4. The appearance is abnormal. Usually refers to the abnormal smoke exhaust system (white smoke, blue smoke, black smoke), three leakage (oil leakage, water leakage, air leakage), leakage (flash sparks) and so on.

5. Abnormal smell, such as smell, burnt smell, exhaust with fuel or incomplete combustion of engine oil, smoke smell, etc.


 When repairing diesel generator sets, maintenance personnel need to do the following 4 points:

1. Comprehensive observation of fault phenomenon phenomenon. Accurately observe the fault phenomenon, do not be confused by the general phenomenon.

2. Careful consideration should be given to the analysis of the cause of the failure problem to determine the sequence and method of compressing the failure problem.

3. Compression failure problem method should adopt the most appropriate method to quickly eliminate equipment failure. When a method cannot be continued, it should be considered whether the method is suitable and whether other methods can be used.

4. The maintenance style of the machine is better, the machine style is better, it will not expand the scope of failure problems of the unit, and it can complete the maintenance task quickly and in time with guaranteed quality and quantity.

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 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...

What Should You Pay Attention to in Routine Maintenance of Diesel Generator Sets

In modern society, the stability of power supply is directly related to the operation efficiency of enterprises and people's quality of life. Diesel generators have become an indispensable backup power supply or main power source in various industries due to their high efficiency, durability and reliability. However, to ensure the smooth operation and optimal performance of the generator sets, regular maintenance is essential. Here is what you need to pay attention to in the routine maintenance of diesel generators. Keep your generator clean It’s important to keep the generator’s exterior and the generator room clean. Regularly remove any dirt, dust, or debris that may accumulate to on the generator’s surface. This is not only for the sake of beauty, but also for the smooth operation of the unit. Cleaning the generator’s exterior, air intake vents, exhaust outlets and generator room can effectively reduce the risk of generator overheating. In addition, check if the connection bol...
