How to Maintain the Diesel Generator Set after Soaking in Water

During the preservation period of the diesel generator set, considering the user's negligence in storage or the flooding of the basement machine room, how to quickly solve it at this time to effectively ensure the normal start-up and operation of the generator set? The following starlight technology teaches you several methods how to repair the water soaking unit. 1. It is not recommended to turn on the diesel generator set after soaking in water. First, rinse the surface of the diesel engine with clean water to remove mud and dirt, and then use metal cleaner or soap powder to clean the surface layer of stains. 2. Prop up one side of the diesel generator so that the diesel engine oil pan to the oil component is in the lowest area, unscrew the oil drain plug, pull out the oil dipstick, and let the water in the oil pan drain by itself and flow to the engine oil part. Let the oil and water release a small amount together and screw on the oil drain plug. 3. Remove the ai

What are the Components of an Internal Combustion Generator Set

The internal combustion generator set consists of an internal combustion engine (internal combustion) to form a diesel engine, a gasoline engine and a gas engine. However, unless otherwise specified, it usually refers to the engine of a diesel engine or a gasoline engine, and the power equipment that drives the AC synchronous generator to generate electricity. Internal combustion engines are currently widely used power generation equipment in the world. They are mainly used for emergency backup power supply for communications, finance, national defense, hospitals, schools, commerce, industrial and mining enterprises and households, mobile communications, independent power supplies for special purposes in battlefields and field work. Such as vehicles and ships, areas where large power grids cannot be transmitted are not suitable for providing independent power sources for production and living in areas where thermal power plants are built. With the continuous development o

The Influence of New Diesel Generator not Running-in After Overhaul

 What should we do if the new diesel generator is overhauled without running-in? After the new diesel generator has been overhauled, the cylinder liner, piston, piston ring, and bearing bushes have been replaced. It has not been fully run-in and loaded with load, causing early wear and tear of the parts. And some also show the phenomenon of cylinder pulling and tile burning. After the diesel generator is cold-started, the oil viscosity is high and the flow resistance is also large, which makes the time lag for the oil to enter the friction pair, and all parts of the diesel engine are not fully lubricated, causing the gears and bearings of the diesel analyzer to be damaged due to poor lubrication , but also aggravated the wear of the cylinder and the bearing bush. Especially supercharged diesel generators will cause ablation of the turbocharger's shaft. For this reason, the supercharged diesel generators should be idling for a while after starting, the standby oil tem

Note Points when Replacing Cummins Diesel Generator Set Parts

 What problems should be paid attention to when replacing parts of Cummins diesel generator set? First of all, pay attention to the assembly technical requirements for replacement and repair of Cummins diesel generator. Repairers generally pay more attention to the valve clearance and bearing clearance of diesel generators, but some technical requirements are often ignored. For example, when installing the cylinder liner of a diesel generator set, the upper plane should be about 0.1mm higher than the plane of the body, otherwise The failure of cylinder air leakage or continuous damage to the cylinder head gasket will occur. Different enlarged parts (accessories) of the same model are not universal. When using the repair size method, you can choose to increase the size of the parts, but you must find out which level of increase is the part. If the size of the parts is not mastered when the diesel generator is replaced and repaired, it will not only waste time, but also can

What are the Advantages of Diesel Generator Set Equipped with ATS

In modern society, always maintaining a stable output of electricity is very important for the daily production and business activities of enterprises, but due to various uncontrollable factors, power outages also occur from time to time. Therefore, many enterprises such as: construction sites, schools, restaurants services, hotels, healthcare facilities, shopping centers, factories, warehouses, etc., are all equipped with backup diesel generators equipped with automatic transfer switches (ATS). So this article Jiangsu Starlight Electricity Equipments Co.,Ltd. will tell you about ATS and what advantages it has that are worthy of being sought after by the majority of users. What is an automatic transfer switch (ATS)? The automatic transfer switch (ATS) can automatically switch the power from the utility grid to the standby diesel generator when the power grid is out of power. The existence of this intelligent automatic transfer switch means that when a power failure occur

Main Points of Diesel Generating Room Design

The principle of layout and installation of diesel generator set room is to ensure that the generator set (including diesel engine, generator and control panel) can work normally, and it is easy to use, operate and maintain. The following descriptions are for reference only. The user of the specific plan should consider the actual use of the unit and the model selected. The user can ask the relevant technical personnel to design the layout of the machine room and implement the construction.   The following matters should be paid attention to when designing the engine room of the diesel generator set: 1) If possible, the diesel generator set and the control panel should be placed separately, the control panel should be placed in the operation room with sound insulation facilities, and there is an observation window so that the operator can keep abreast of the operation status of the unit in time. 2) When installing the exhaust muffler, the exhaust port should be placed outd

Pay Attention to Ventilation when Installing Cummins Diesel Generators

 Cummins diesel generators will generate a lot of heat during operation. If ventilation and heat dissipation are not done properly, the generator set may be damaged or even cause major equipment failures. Therefore, users must pay attention to the ventilation and heat dissipation problems of the unit during installation. Specific requirements are as follows: 1. When installing the Cummins diesel generator set , the radiator should be as close to the air outlet as possible to avoid the recirculation of hot air. When there is no air duct, it is recommended that the distance between the radiator and the air outlet should not exceed 150 mm. If the equipment room cannot meet the above requirements, the corresponding air duct should be installed. 2. The area of the exhaust port should be 1.5 times the exhaust area of the radiator. Under normal circumstances, it is necessary to cooperate with the radiator to install the air duct and the exhaust shutter. The bend of the air duct

Reasons for Burning Tiles when Diesel Generator Sets Operation

 Why do diesel generator sets burn tiles during operation? Diesel generator set burning tile is a serious unit failure. Once the tile is burned, it will seriously hinder the operation of the diesel generator set. The burning of tiles in diesel generator sets is inseparable from the following six reasons. First, the use of lubricating oil does not correspond to the season. In different seasons, the corresponding lubricating oil should be used. For example, in summer, the lubricating oil with higher viscosity should be used so that an oil film can be formed on the contact surface of the bearing bush. If there is a disorder, it will cause the failure of the diesel generator set. Impurities are mixed in the lubricating oil. If you do not pay attention to the cleaning of the lubricating oil and directly inject the lubricating oil into the machine, the oil circuit will be blocked, which will lead to burning of the tiles. Without paying attention to the oil pressure gauge, by obs

Idle Limit Time of Diesel Generator Set

 The idle state is the idling working state of the diesel generator set, that is to say, in this management working environment state, the diesel generator set does not need to carry the load, as long as we maintain the minimum speed required during the smooth operation.   The idle time of the diesel generator set should not be too long, and the diesel injection will reduce the atomization quality and accelerate the early wear of the cylinder wall. Because the quality of the atomization technology is mainly related to the injection pressure of the diesel generator set, the diameter of the injector and the speed of the camshaft. Since the aperture size of different injectors remains unchanged, the quality of fuel atomization technology depends on the injection pressure and camshaft speed. The slower the camshaft speed is, the longer the fuel injection pressure will continue to rise, the worse the quality of the fuel through the atomization technology, and the camshaft spee
