Illegal Habit of Diesel Generator Maintenance

Once a diesel generator fails, it must be repaired before it can be put into production again. Careful working attitude and accurate fault analysis are necessary conditions for successful maintenance of diesel generator. However, in our daily maintenance work, some irregular work habits often lead to the failure of maintenance work. Here, Dingbo Power Generation Equipment lists some illegal working habits in the maintenance of diesel generator for our technicians to learn from. The specific content is shared as follows:


diesel generating set


1. Unqualified cleaning of generator parts

During the maintenance of diesel generator, the correct removal of oil stains and impurities on the surface of parts is of great significance to improve the repair quality and extend the service life of machinery. If the sundries in the bolt hole and the sand in the hydraulic element are not completely removed, the bolt torque is insufficient, the piston ring is easy to break, the cylinder gasket is ablated, and the hydraulic element is worn early: during the overhaul of the diesel generator, the oil dirt or impurities accumulated in the filter, lubricating oil passage, etc. are not carefully removed, which makes the maintenance work incomplete and reduces the trouble free operation time of the equipment.


2. The quality of the small parts of the unit is not up to standard

During the maintenance of diesel generator, some maintenance personnel often only pay attention to the maintenance of pump, fuel pump and other parts, but ignore the maintenance of "small parts" such as various instruments. Who knows that it is precisely these "small parts" that lack maintenance, leading to early wear and tear of the machinery and shortening its service life. For example, if the oil filter, air filter, hydraulic oil filter, water temperature gauge, oil temperature gauge, oil pressure gauge, sensor, alarm, filter screen, grease nozzle, oil return connector, cotter pin, fan air guide cover, drive shaft bolt locking plate, etc. used by the unit are not maintained carefully, they will often be "penny wise and pound foolish", resulting in diesel generator equipment failure.


3. Habitual maintenance errors occur

When maintaining equipment for diesel generator, some maintenance personnel do not understand some problems that should be paid attention to during maintenance, which leads to "habitual" errors in disassembly and assembly, affecting the maintenance quality of machinery. For example, when installing the piston pin, the piston pin is directly driven into the pin hole without heating the piston, resulting in increased deformation of the piston and increased ovality: when repairing the diesel generator, the bearing bush is excessively scraped, and the antifriction alloy layer on the surface of the bearing bush is scraped off, resulting in early wear caused by direct friction between the steel back of the bearing bush and the crankshaft; When disassembling interference fit components such as bearings and pulleys, do not use a tensioner. Hard hitting and knocking can easily cause deformation or damage to the components; When unsealing new pistons, cylinder liners, fuel injection nozzle assemblies, plunger assemblies, and other parts, burning the oil or wax stored on the surface of the parts can cause changes in the performance of the parts, which is not conducive to their use.

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...
