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 air filter, remove the filter upper shell, take out the filter element and other components, remove the water in the filter, and wash the parts with metal cleaner or diesel. If the filter is plastic foam, it should be washed with soap powder or soapy water (gasoline is prohibited), then rinsed with clean water, dried, and then soaked in a proper amount of engine oil (after soaking, squeeze dry with all your hands). The oil immersion should also be realized when refitting the new filter. If the filter element is a paper file, it must be replaced with a new one. After the parts of the filter are rinsed and dried, they should be installed in accordance with the regulations.

4. Remove the intake and exhaust pipes and the muffler to remove the water accumulated in the internal structure. Rotate the diesel engine with pressure relief to see if there is any water discharge at the intake and exhaust ports. If there is water discharge, then crank the crankshaft until all the water in the cylinder is drained. Install the intake and exhaust pipes and the muffler, add a little oil to the air inlet, rotate the crankshaft several times, and then install the air filter.

5. Remove the fuel tank and drain all the oil and water in it. Check whether there is water in the diesel filter and the oil pipe. If there is water, drain it. Flush the fuel tank and diesel filter, then install it back in place, connect the fuel line, and add clean diesel to the fuel tank.

6. Release the sewage in the water tank and canal to flush the canal. Use the throttle switch to turn on the diesel. After the diesel engine is turned on, pay attention to the rising phenomenon of the oil indicator and listen for the abnormal sound of the diesel engine. After checking whether each component is okay or not, the running-in period of the diesel engine is first idling, then middle speed, and then high speed in the running-in period. The operating time is 5 minutes each. After the running-in period, stop the engine to release the engine oil, add new engine oil again, turn on the diesel engine, and operate at a medium speed for 5 minutes, and it can be used without any problems.

7. Remove the generator, inspect the stator and rotor of the generator's internal structure, and make the device only after drying.

During the period of use, if the generator set is not working properly, the maintenance personnel of the diesel generator manufacturer need to solve it, especially after the motor gets wet, it must be dried and arranged as soon as possible. Only early emergency measures can ensure the service life and work efficiency 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
