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 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...

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...
