Ratio of Fuel Consumption to Fuel Consumption of Diesel Generator

During normal operation of the generator, the fuel consumption is approximately 2% of the fuel consumption. If the fuel consumption exceeds this ratio during use, it indicates that your generator has a problem and requires repair and maintenance. Normal and abnormal wear caused by long-term use or improper maintenance of the generator can cause longitudinal stretching marks on the cylinder liner, resulting in unclean oil scraping of the generator. Or because the torsion spring of the internal strut of the oil ring is disconnected at the opening of the oil ring, which causes the generator to scrape oil unclean and participate in combustion, causing serious fuel consumption symptoms of the generator. Although it will not affect the starting of the generator, the loss of oil is huge, and the serious wear of the generator valve guide will also affect the fuel consumption of the diesel generator.

Check if the oil used is the specified oil, and if not, replace it with the specified oil. If oil drips out from the edge of the flywheel or the rear end of the oil pan, there is oil leakage at the rear end of the crankshaft. If oil flows out of the cylinder block on the cover from the rear end of the camshaft, the sealing at the rear end of the camshaft is not tight and there is oil leakage. If oil spills out from the rear end of the flywheel or oil pan, there is oil leakage from the rear end of the crankshaft. From the perspective of the generator crankshaft pulley, it indicates that the gear cover gasket is damaged or improperly installed. When other gaskets or oil pipe joints are loose, broken, or leaking, traces of oil leakage can be seen from the outside of the generator. Check whether the generator connecting screws or oil pipe joints are loose and whether the gasket is broken.


If the generator emits blue smoke, the oil is sucked into the cylinder and burned before being discharged. The generator intake pipe should be checked for oil free first. If engine oil is used, the sealing ring of the exhaust turbocharger compressor impeller shaft will fail. When the generator oil flows into the intake port along the shaft, the sealing ring should be replaced. If the intake pipe is dry and oil-free, check whether the sealing cap of the generator valve guide is intact, whether the gap between the generator intake rod and the guide pipe is too large, and replace and maintain it. If the above conditions are good, remove the cylinder head and oil pan, conduct a comprehensive inspection and measurement of the generator cylinder, piston, and piston ring, check for excessive wear and assembly clearance of the generator piston, piston ring, and cylinder wall, and ensure that the piston ring is installed in place.

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...
