Detection Procedure for Insufficient Power of Diesel Generators

Do you know what the program for detecting insufficient power of a diesel generator is? Firstly, check the fuel injectors for leaks and pitting caused by insufficient primary oil circuit pressure. Check the low-pressure fuel system. Insufficient pressure in the low-pressure fuel system can directly lead to insufficient power and fuel injector pitting. The pressure detection point of the low-pressure oil circuit should be located after the oil outlet of the fine filter. If there is no measurement space at this position, it can be measured in front of the return valve. The following are all reasons for insufficient pressure in the low-pressure oil circuit: whether the secondary filter of the fuel primary filter is blocked, whether the return valve is ineffective, whether there is excessive flow resistance in the oil pipeline from the fuel tank to the fuel pump, and whether the fuel pump provides sufficient supply pressure.

Another reason is whether there is excessive flow resistance in the oil delivery pipeline from the return valve to the fuel tank. If the resistance is too high, the return fuel will be insufficient and the fuel temperature will increase. If the oil pressure cannot be reached while ensuring that the filter element is not clogged, the return valve should be checked or replaced. If the pressure is still insufficient, check whether the flow resistance in the oil delivery pipeline is too high. If the pressure is still insufficient, check the fuel return quantity by removing the return end of the return pipe from the fuel tank and directly inserting it into an empty barrel.


Measure the return oil volume of the engine at maximum idle for 1 minute, which should be above 8L. Check the boost air pressure and exhaust temperature at full load. Only when the speed drops from the highest idle speed to the rated speed or even lower, can the engine output reach full load. At full load, the boost pressure in the intake manifold should reach at least 1.3 bar, and the exhaust temperature should be -450~480 ℃. If the fuel supply is sufficient but the boost pressure is still insufficient, the exhaust back pressure should be checked and should not exceed 500mmH2O.

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...
