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...

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...
