Poor Formation of Oxide Film on The Surface of Generator Collector Ring

Strengthen the understanding of the oxide film on the surface of generator brushes, establish its composition and normal operating conditions: Several recent problems mainly due to the inability to form a smooth layer of the oxide film on the brush surface. The composition of the oxide film requires some conditions. When the conditions are not met, the oxide film cannot be formed or is poorly formed, mainly due to the following reasons:

emergency diesel generator

(1) High temperature: The oxide film of electric brushes is generally easy to form at around 70 ℃. When the generator collector ring and brush overheat, the temperature is usually above 150 ℃. Even if a new brush is replaced at this moment, the oxide film is not easy to form and cannot play a smooth role. Brush wear will intensify, causing the temperature to continue to rise, becoming a vicious cycle. At this moment, external forced cooling methods can be adopted, such as applying Vaseline, high-power fan ventilation, etc., to lower the temperature of the collector ring to the normal range, and continue for a period of time to gradually form an oxide film on the surface of the brush, causing it to enter a virtuous cycle.

(2) There are polluting impurities in the cooling air: The impurities in the air will have adverse effects on the composition of the oxide film on the surface of the generator brush. These impurities include corrosive gases containing sulfides or halogenated elements, oil gas mixtures in the air, dust, iron filings, rust dust, carbon powder, and other impurities. When the electric brush is worn, it will generate dust and impurities of carbon powder. Filtering equipment can be installed on the cooling and ventilation circulation channel of the brush holder cover to improve the air quality inside the brush holder cover.

(3) The air humidity is too low or the oxygen content is too low: The composition of the oxide film on the surface of the generator brush requires a certain moisture content in the air, that is, the air humidity cannot be too low, but also cannot be too high. In addition, the composition of the oxide film mainly occurs due to the oxidation of oxygen in the air, and when the oxygen content is too low, it is not conducive to the formation of the oxide film.

The inability or poor formation of the oxide film on the surface of the generator collector ring is not only related to the above factors, but also due to excessive grinding of the brush, use of solvents for scrubbing, poor surface finish of the collector ring, and unqualified carbon brush raw materials.

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
