Use and Replacement of Water Filter for Diesel Generating Set

 One of the keys to correctly maintain the cooling system of diesel generator set is to use a water filter. Many diesel generator set operators believe that it is unnecessary to use a water filter after adding clean water and chemical additives to the cooling system of diesel generator set. This view is incorrect, because the dirt is inherent in the diesel generator set engine, and it has nothing to do with the use of high-quality cooling water.

The sealing surface of the pump and cylinder liner deposits or the scaling of these parts, the cooling system components of the diesel generator set are corroded, worn, the thermostat is blocked, etc., and the cooler, radiator, Intercooler pipe and cooling system are blocked by oil. Oily deposits are formed on the heat transfer surface. When the diesel engine of the diesel generator set is maintained at "B" level for the first time (or the engine oil is replaced), the working core of the water filter of the diesel generator set must be used to replace the pre added water filter core. Except for the following two cases, the working core of the water filter of the diesel generator set should be replaced every time the "B" level maintenance inspection is carried out in the future.


When replacing the water filter core of the diesel generator set, if the coolant is added to the cooling system of the stationary diesel generator set, the front core of the water filter of the diesel generator set shall be used for replacement. After each discharge of clean coolant, the pre core of the water filter should be installed. Close the two discharge switches or gate valves on the inlet and outlet pipes of the water filter of the diesel generator set, take out and throw away the water filter of the diesel generator set discharging additives.


The rotary filter wrench can be used for disassembly. Apply a thin oil film on the end face of the diesel generator set filter seal ring, and then install the diesel generator set filter on the filter seat. Rotate the filter until the diesel generator set seal ring contacts the surface of the filter square seat. Rotate the filter 3/4-1 ring. When installing the water filter, if the water filter is not used or replaced temporarily, close the gate valve (or switch) of the inlet and outlet pipes of the water filter of the diesel generator set. Only when using and rotating the water filter can the two gate valves (or switches) of the diesel generator set be opened to the maximum opening.

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 (...

Baudouan Weichai 1530KW Diesel Generator Set 16M33 Series Engine

Weichai is the earliest enterprise in China to develop and produce generator sets, with a production history of over 60 years. It mainly produces land - based and marine generator sets, including diesel - type and gas - type units. Weichai's M33 series engines include 6M33, 12M33, and 16M33 diesel engines. These are high - power high - speed diesel engines independently developed by Weichai based on the mature product platform of Baudouin's M26 series in France. The development of this series of models fills the gap in Weichai's high - speed diesel engines for power generation in the 500 - 1530kW power range, enabling effective competition with foreign brands. The M33 series Weichai engines inherit and carry forward the advanced product development and design concepts of the French Baudouin M26. They are benchmarked against international advanced engines, effectively avoiding various design defects. The product development emphasizes high reliability and low emissions. Th...

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...
