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.

What Is the Difference Between Electric Motor and Electric Generator

An electric motor is an electrical machine that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. Most electric motors operate through the interaction between the motor's magnetic field and winding currents to generate force. In certain applications, such as in regenerative braking with traction motors, electric motors can be used in reverse as generators to recover energy that might otherwise be lost as heat and friction. An electric generator operates in the reverse direction, converting mechanical energy into electrical energy. Electric generator can be divided into various type, open type, silent type, trailer type, portable type and container type, etc. Electric generator is mainly composed of diesel engine & alternator. Electric generator set is mainly composed of engine, alternator, control module, and common base. Electric generator :- Electric generator is a type of machine which converts mechanical input (energy) into electrical output (

Engine Fault Code Messages - Volvo Penta Engine

Volvo Penta Engine Fault Code When a malfunction has occurred and the diagnostic system has generated one or more fault codes, these are read out differently depending on the equipment used. Please refer to “Fault code messages”. If the system indicates that a fault code has been set: 1 Cut engine speed to idle, or shut the Volvo engine off. 2 For DCU/DU Read the fault code from the display, please refer to Reading fault codes via the DCU or Reading fault codes via the DU. For CIU press the diagnostic button and read the fault code, by observing the flashing of the diagnostic lamp. Refer to Reading fault codes via the diagnostic lamp, CIU. 3 Look up the fault code in the Fault Code Register chapter and take the recommended measures. Reading fault codes via the DU (Display Unit) Depending on the severity of the fault the text, either WARNING! or ALARM STOP (a buzzer sounds) will be shown on the display 1 Press any button to come to the fault list. The f

Types of Diesel Engine and Application of Diesel Generator

This article will guide you to learn diesel engine types and important role of diesel generator. If you are interested, please keep reading. What Are Diesel Engines? A type of internal combustion engine more accurately known as a compression ignition engine is designed to provide power by compressing the fuel at high temperature and significant pressure until it ignites. Diesel engines are either two-stroke or four-stroke . ‘Stroke’ means the movement of the piston in the engine. Two-stroke This engine uses one stroke in each direction. The first stroke being compression, which results in the ignition of the compressed fuel. The return stroke brings new fuel into the cylinder. Four-stroke This engine has one compression stroke and one exhaust stroke and each one of those has a return stroke – hence, four-stroke. The compression stroke compresses the fuel/air mixture prior to ignition. The exhaust stroke pushes the burnt gases out the exhaust. The
