Ways to Eliminate the Fault of Generator Set Cylinder Cushion

Cylinder flushing pad is a common fault in generator sets, and there are various forms of cylinder flushing pad, with the common feature being abnormal noise. Due to the varying degrees of impact on the cylinder cushion, the abnormal sound generated is also different. This article explains the troubleshooting methods based on the varying degrees of cylinder cushion faults in three Hongqi 120 bulldozer generator sets.

When a bulldozer is cold started, there are two knocking sounds of "dang" and "dang", and a white smoke is emitted first. The generator set catches fire only after black smoke is emitted. When suddenly increasing the throttle, there is also a knocking sound, and after the throttle stabilizes, the abnormal sound basically disappears. If there is still a knocking sound when suddenly increasing the throttle repeatedly. During the cylinder cutout inspection, it was found that the abnormal noise occurred in cylinder VI. Suspect that the fuel injector needle is stuck. Dismantle and inspect, the results are normal. When removing the VI cylinder head, it was found that there was black smoke burning on the cylinder gasket. It turned out that the cylinder head bolts were very tight (with a torque of 250N · m), but the cylinder head and gasket could not be pressed tightly because there was a water blockage on the body that was higher than the upper plane of the body. Replace the cylinder gasket and ensure that the water blockage height is lower than the upper plane of the engine body. After reinstallation, the abnormal noise disappears and the generator set operates normally.


The phenomenon of another bulldozer is that the generator set makes a "honk, honk" sound when idling. When the fuel supply of the V cylinder is cut off, the sound weakens until it disappears. I once suspected that it was caused by a large amount of idle oil in the V cylinder, but reducing it was of no use. When the large and medium oil valves are running, the abnormal noise is not obvious. The valve clearance is normal. When starting the generator set and forcefully increasing the throttle, there is a knocking sound of "dang, dang", repeatedly increasing the throttle, and smoke comes from the V-cylinder gasket. After inspection, it was found that the faults were all caused by the flushing of the cylinder gasket.


There is also a bulldozer that makes a noticeable noise when loaded. When the throttle is small and unloaded. The abnormal noise is not obvious. When the load is repeatedly applied, the sound is obvious and there is air escaping between the cylinder heads of cylinders III and IV. Cylinder cutout inspection found. The III cylinder gasket was burned. After replacing the cylinder gasket, the problem was resolved.


The Hongqi 120 bulldozer is equipped with a 6130 diesel engine (one cylinder, one cover). There are relatively few failures of cylinder head gasket, most of which are caused by the cylinder head bolts not being tightened according to the specified torque and sequence (2-3 times).


Dingbo Power was founded in 1974 and is one of the earliest manufacturers of generators and diesel generator sets in China. If you want get more information, please feel free to send email to sales@dieselgeneratortech.com we will pay highly attention on your question.

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...
