Reasons for The Shooting of Cummins Diesel Generator Sets

Cummins diesel generator sets sometimes experience shooting during operation. At this time, we need to investigate the cause and specific solutions? Below, Dingbo Power Generation Equipment will be introduced in detail to everyone.

The Cummins diesel generator set experienced severe afterburning in the diesel engine, causing the mixture to enter the exhaust pipe and continue to burn when the exhaust valve was opened, producing an explosive sound. During the intake stroke of a diesel engine, pure air enters the cylinder. It only begins to inject fuel towards the end of the compression stroke, and small droplets of fuel, after certain preparation, reach the ignition condition and burn on their own. Fuel droplets diffuse while burning; This is the diffusion combustion method of the Cummins diesel generator set diesel engine.


Injecting early, before compression ignition, too much combustible mixture is formed. When these mixtures burn simultaneously during ignition, it can cause a sharp increase in pressure and temperature in the cylinder, resulting in increased combustion noise. This is also known as the rough combustion phenomenon that occurs in the Cummins diesel generator set diesel engine, also known as cylinder knocking. The injection is delayed, especially at high loads, and there is still a large amount of fuel injection, as diffusion combustion takes a certain amount of time and can lead to severe afterburning.


The decrease in fuel injection pressure of Cummins diesel generator sets leads to poor fuel atomization quality, larger diameter of small fuel droplets, and longer diffusion combustion time. Excessive oil content that cannot completely burn can also lead to the possibility of combustion after entering the exhaust pipe. If there is a problem with the sealing of the fuel injector, it can cause dripping and excessive fuel to enter the exhaust pipe. The sealing performance of the cylinder deteriorates, causing a decrease in the pressure and temperature inside the cylinder, slowing down the combustion speed of the fuel, and prolonging the post combustion period.

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 Connect A Diesel Generator to Your House?

Diesel generators are fuel-efficient and reliable, which can almost meet the power needs of any application. If you want to power the whole house during power shortages, it’s a good choice to choose a diesel generator set as the backup electricity supply. But how to connect a diesel generator to your house? Read on and you will find the answer. Options to connect a diesel generator to your home   Keep in mind that never plug your generator directly into the mains, or it will cause back feeding, damage your appliances and be life-threatening for utility workers. Generally, you can choose to connect a generator to your house by using extension cords or a transfer switch. Understanding the difference between them is helpful for you to choose the right type. Extension cords   Typically, extension cords are suitable for smaller diesel generators that used for short term. They require no installation and are cost-effective. If you need to power only some basic appliances such as...

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...
