How to Add Diesel to Volvo Generator Set?

 Today, we will briefly introduce how to fill diesel fuel for Volvo generator sets.

The diesel engine is the core component of Volvo generator set and the heart of the whole operation. If there is no oil, it should be refueled in time. But do you know the correct refuelling method? Is it true that diesel fuel will lead to fuel tank? Often these familiar details are the factors that lead to component damage, and even directly affect the service life of Volvo generator unit components and even the entire unit.


Volvo generator sets feel that the fuel supply advance angle should be earlier: some mobile power station operators often prefer to move forward when adjusting the fuel supply advance angle of diesel engines, and some even exceed the specified value by 2-3 degrees. They feel that if the fuel supply advance angle is adjusted forward, the engine will work vigorously. However, they do not know that the premature fuel supply advance angle is equally harmful to the work of the diesel engine as well as the lag. The reason is very simple.


The high burst pressure makes the high temperature gas easy to escape into the lower crankcase, causing the high temperature fission of the engine oil, and the engine oil is also easy to evaporate into oil vapor, forming the crankcase combustion. The rapid combustion of excessive fuel in the cylinder will increase the thermal load on the piston crown and cause overheating damage to the piston. The intensification of cylinder liner vibration will accelerate the corrosion of cylinder liner and body, resulting in damage to Volvo generator set. It will cause cylinder knocking, increase the impact of the piston on the cylinder liner, intensify the vibration of the cylinder liner, and cause fatigue damage of the cylinder liner.


The premature fuel supply advance angle causes too much fuel to accumulate in the cylinder before the top dead center, and the burst pressure after combustion increases a lot, which will increase the mechanical load of the piston connecting rod and cause damage to these parts. Excessive heat load will cause cracks in the cylinder head and deformation and falling off of the valve seat sealing ring. The results of these failures will cause damage to Volvo generator sets and shorten the service life of Volvo generator sets.


Volvo generator sets think that more oil should be added: less oil in the diesel case will be sucked out, and the oil pressure will drop. The direct consequence is that the oil can not reach the lubricating surface of all parts, which will accelerate the wear of parts and lead to accidents in Volvo generator sets. Therefore, some users like to add more oil at one time, which will greatly exceed the specified scale, so that it can be used once and for all. The idea is good, but the actual situation is just taken for granted. You should know that too much oil will also lead to many bad results. First, too much oil will easily leak out in the front and back of the crankshaft, increasing the oil consumption, polluting the environment and increasing the difficulty of maintenance. Second, the high oil level will hinder the movement of the connecting rod, increase the movement resistance of the parts and reduce the mechanical efficiency; Third, too much oil is easy to make the oil spill into the combustion chamber, increasing the loss of oil, and after the oil is extinguished, it is easy to form carbon deposits at the piston ring, the valve seat on the top of the piston, and the fuel injection nozzle, causing the piston ring to bite, the fuel injection nozzle wall plug and other problems; Fourth, the high oil level is easy to produce oil vapor when the connecting rod big end is agitated, and it will ignite and burn in case of high temperature, causing crankcase explosion accident.

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
