Harm of Slamming The Throttle After Cold Start The Generator Set

After the generator set is cold started, it is not allowed to slam the throttle. As the generator set is shut down without waiting for speed and temperature reduction, the oil content on the friction surface will be insufficient. When the diesel engine runs again, it will be further damaged due to poor lubrication.

After the generator set shuts down, the circulation of the cooling system water is terminated, and the heat removal capacity is greatly reduced. When encountering hot parts, the cooling is lost, which can easily cause overheating of parts such as the cylinder head, cylinder liner, and cylinder liner, causing cracks, or causing the piston rod to swell too much and get stuck in the cylinder liner. On the other hand, if the generator set is shut down without waiting for speed and temperature reduction, it will result in insufficient oil content on the friction surface. When the diesel engine runs again, it will be further damaged due to poor lubrication. Therefore, before the generator unit shuts down, it is necessary to unload the load and slowly reduce the speed ratio, and run at full load for a few minutes.

If the accelerator is slammed, the speed ratio of the generator set will increase significantly, which will cause some friction surfaces inside the machine to be severely damaged due to dry friction. In addition, when the throttle is hit, the piston rod, crankshaft, and engine crankshaft undergo a significant change in force, causing strong collisions and easily damaging parts.

When the refrigeration machine of the generator set is started, due to the high viscosity and poor flowability of the diesel generator oil, the oil provided by the fuel injection pump is insufficient, and the friction surface of the equipment is not well lubricated due to insufficient oil, resulting in significant damage, and even common faults such as engine cylinder pulling and shoe bursting. Therefore, after the diesel engine is refrigerated and running, it should wait for the engine to run at high speed and raise the temperature, and then run with load when the oil temperature reaches above 40 ℃; Equipment development should shift to low gear and drive for a certain mileage in each gear in sequence until the water temperature is normal and the provided oil is sufficient, and then all normal driving can be achieved.

When the generator set runs low on oil, it may cause abnormal damage or burns due to insufficient oil supply on the surface of each friction pair. Therefore, before the development of generator sets and during the entire process of diesel engine operation, it is necessary to ensure that there is sufficient engine oil in the car to avoid common faults such as engine cylinder pulling and bearing failure caused by insufficient oil.

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...
