Causes of Turbocharger Surge in Diesel Generator Sets

When the turbocharger of a diesel generator set operates at a certain speed, the airflow flow rate of its compressor is reduced to a certain extent due to certain factors. The airflow in the compressor will experience strong oscillation, causing blade vibration and surging noise at the inlet of the compressor, resulting in a significant decrease in intake pressure. This phenomenon is called compressor surge. Surging can lead to unstable operation, reduced power, and black smoke from the exhaust, and in severe cases, it can cause damage to the compressor.

Fault cause:


(1) Air intake blockage. The surge of the diesel generator compressor is mainly caused by blockage in the intake system, such as severe blockage of the air filter element, severe aging and flattening of the intake hose, and blockage of too much oil stains in the intake pipe. Due to blockage, the turbocharger delivers insufficient air to the cylinder during operation, resulting in significant fluctuations in air pressure and causing compressor surge. The deformation of the flow channel of the compressor nozzle ring can also cause surge.


(2) Changes in atmospheric temperature. When a turbocharged diesel generator set with an intercooler operates in a high-temperature environment, or when a turbocharged diesel generator set with an intercooler operates at a low temperature, the compressor is prone to surge. This is because changes in atmospheric temperature cause changes in the operating line of the turbocharger, not just because the turbocharger itself has problems.


Dingbo Power Generation Equipment provides troubleshooting methods based on the surge of the turbocharger of the diesel generator set mentioned above: check the air filter element of the diesel generator set, blow or replace the filter element with compressed air, and clean the intake channel or wipe the inner wall of the pipeline with a clean towel.

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...
