The Silent Generator Set Should be Unloaded Before Stalling

In the AC circuit of a silent generator set, a pure resistance circuit where the current and voltage in the load are in phase and can cancel each other out. The method of paralleling capacitors on the inductive load of a silent generator set can compensate for the reactive power of the inductive load by the reactive power of the capacitors, thereby reducing or even eliminating the original energy exchange between the inductive load of the silent generator set and the power source. Most of the loads in the power system are inductive, so the total current will lag the voltage by an angle, and the silent generator set's parallel capacitors will be connected in parallel with the load. The current of the capacitor will offset a portion of the inductance current, thereby reducing the total current and increasing the power factor.

Insufficient cooling water in a silent generator set can reduce its cooling effect. Silent generator sets overheat due to ineffective cooling, and high oil temperatures in cooling water and oil can also cause diesel engines to overheat. At this time, the cylinder head, cylinder sleeve, piston components, and valves of the silent generator set are mainly subjected to high heat loads, and their mechanical properties such as strength and toughness sharply decrease, causing increased deformation of the parts, reducing the fit gap between the parts, accelerating the wear of the parts, and in severe cases, cracking and jamming of the parts may occur. Overheating of the silent generator set can also worsen the combustion process of the silent generator set, causing malfunctioning of the fuel injectors, poor atomization, and increased carbon deposition.


After the silent generator unit shuts down, the circulation of cooling system water stops, and the heat dissipation capacity sharply decreases. The heated parts lose cooling, which can easily cause overheating of cylinder heads, cylinder liners, cylinder blocks, and other components, resulting in cracks or excessive piston expansion and jamming inside the cylinder liner. On the other hand, if the silent generator unit is shut down without idle cooling, it will cause insufficient oil on the friction surface. When the diesel engine starts again, it will intensify wear due to poor lubrication. Therefore, before the silent generator unit shuts down, the load should be removed, and the speed should be gradually reduced and the unit should run at no load for a few minutes.

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...
