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 Choose a Household Mini Generator

With the improvement of people's living standards, there are more and more household appliances, such as rice cookers, microwaves, kettles, refrigerators, air - conditioners, washing machines, etc. It can be said that every household has them. But what if there is a power outage? These appliances won't work properly, and our lives will be greatly disrupted. How can we avoid this? We can use household mini - generators to provide convenience in power consumption. So, how to choose a good household mini - generator? Consider the noise level Since it is for household use, when choosing a household mini - generator, we need to check whether the noise will affect the neighbors. Generally, the seller will demonstrate the performance of the generator in advance. A good household generator can reduce noise by about 80%. Choose a generator with a moderate price Due to different brands, there are significant differences in power, and consequently, the price differences of househ...

How to Choose Efficient Diesel Generators for the Film and Television Industry?

In the film and television industry, the stability of the electricity supply during filming is crucial. Whether the equipment are the cameras or the lighting equipment on the filming site, or the post-production equipment, they all need stable and reliable power support. Unstable or interrupted power can result in interrupted filming, damage to equipment, and even affecting the progress and quality of the entire project. Therefore, investing in high-efficiency diesel generator sets has become an important measure for the film and television industry to ensure the reliable power supply for shooting. Determine the power requirements Before choosing a diesel generator set for the film and television industry, it’s necessary to figure out the total power needs, including the electricity demand of the shooting location, the total power of the electrical equipment and the time of using electricity. Also consider whether there are special needs for the generators such as low noise level and...
