Causes of Cracks in Volvo Diesel Generator Set

The parts where cracks occur on Volvo diesel generator sets are often related to their structures. The parts where cracks occur on different types of Volvo diesel generator sets have certain regularity. Generally speaking, there are only three reasons for cracks in Volvo diesel generator sets. The cylinder block of Volvo diesel generator set has complex structure and uneven wall thickness. The rigidity of some weak parts of Volvo diesel generator set is low, and Volvo Diesel generator set is easy to crack. The stress concentration of Volvo diesel generator set occurs at the transition of machined parts, unprocessed parts and wall thickness. When these stresses are superimposed with the residual stress when the construction stops, Volvo diesel generator set is easy to crack.

In cold winter, the cooling water in the water jacket of the Volvo diesel generator set freezes and cracks, or the hot water bursts in cold winter, because the Volvo diesel generator set does not have antifreeze or fails to drain cooling water in time after shutdown. The internal combustion engine of Volvo diesel generator set suddenly adds cold water under high temperature, which causes excessive thermal stress on the body and cylinder head of Volvo diesel generator set and cracks on the body and cylinder head of Volvo diesel generator set. Due to the serious impact or collision caused by the accidental disassembly or handling of Volvo diesel generator set, the cylinder block or cylinder head of Volvo diesel generator set has cracks.


During the reaction of Volvo Diesel generator stack operation, the material of Volvo diesel generator set is subject to excessive thermal stress, and the internal combustion engine of Volvo diesel generator set is overloaded for a long time, and the stress of the body is increased. The water jacket scale is too thick, which reduces the cooling water passing area of Volvo diesel generator set. The heat transfer of Volvo diesel generator set scale is poor, which reduces the heat dissipation performance of Volvo diesel generator set. The performance of Volvo diesel generator set, especially when the water channel near the cylinder, valve seat and air inlet and exhaust hole of Volvo diesel generator set is blocked, it will seriously affect its heat dissipation, raise the local working temperature of Volvo diesel generator set, and cause cracks due to excessive thermal stress. In the case of insufficient warm-up of Volvo diesel generator set, the load of Volvo diesel generator set increases rapidly, resulting in serious uneven temperature changes in the cylinder block and cylinder head of Volvo diesel generator set, resulting in cracks.


The repair quality is not high, and the technical requirements cannot be strictly implemented in the maintenance of Volvo diesel generator sets. For example, the cylinder head nuts of Volvo diesel generator sets are not tightened according to the specified sequence and torque, the tightening force is uneven, and the cylinder head nuts do not meet the specified requirements. When installing the valve seat ring, there is no basis for air supply, and proper pressure interference is selected, such as the material and machining accuracy of the door seat. Volvo diesel generator set will also cause cracks. When tightening the cylinder head nuts of Volvo diesel generator set, use a torque wrench with accurate reading to symmetrically tighten them to the specified force.

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...

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...

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...
