How to Prevent Cavitation Failure of Diesel Generator Set?

Cavitation failure of diesel generator set mainly refers to the diesel engine caused by cavitation damage. In fact, cavitation failure of diesel generator set has become an important factor affecting the service life and reliability of modern units. So how can our users avoid such malfunctions in their daily use? How did such a malfunction occur? The diesel generator set manufacturer will talk about relevant topics with you, hoping to help you.

1. Usage factors

(1) The coolant temperature that is most prone to pitting corrosion is 40 ℃ -60 ℃, so it is important to maintain the coolant at a normal working temperature (80 ℃ -85 ℃) during use.

(2) The cooling liquid specified by the diesel generator set manufacturer shall be added instead of hard water or cooling water (liquid) with more impurities. Experiments have shown that hard water containing salts and alkalis has a pitting rate several tens of times higher than clean soft water. 

(3) Try to reduce the time for idle, heavy load, and overloaded operation as much as possible.

(4) Add fuel according to regulations to reduce the rough operation of diesel engines caused by combustion.


2. Maintenance factors

(1) Replace the coolant according to regulations and clean the cooling system in a timely manner to keep it in good technical condition.

(2) Adjust the fuel supply advance angle and various components of the fuel system according to regulations to maintain good working performance of the fuel system and reduce the harm caused by abnormal combustion.

(3) Maintain good cylinder clearance, crankshaft bearing clearance, and connecting rod bearing clearance to reduce cylinder knocking and vibration.


(4) When installing cylinder liners, pistons, connecting rods, and other components, it is necessary to meet the requirements of verticality and parallelism as much as possible to reduce the abnormal impact of the piston on the cylinder liner.


3. Manufacturing factors

(1) Apply anti cavitation materials and vibration absorbing substances on the side wall of the water jacket.

(2) Improve the hardness of the outer surface of the cylinder liner; Minimize the roughness of the outer surface as much as possible; Select materials with strong resistance to pitting corrosion.

(3) Select an appropriate cylinder liner wall thickness to increase its stiffness to avoid resonance.

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...
