The first step is to have a detailed understanding of the root cause of the looseness of the fan belt of the Cummins diesel generator set: firstly, it may be caused by aging, secondly, it may be caused by incorrect model specifications, and finally, it is caused by the deviation of the belt pulley spacing. Aging is the most common factor among these three factors. If the fan belt of Cummins diesel generator sets becomes loose, the exhaust air volume will be greatly affected. The supply and demand balance of the heat dissipation and exhaust air volume of Cummins diesel generator sets is naturally insufficient, which will lead to an increase in the entire mechanical temperature and cause a lot of damage.

The belt will age and crack during operation for a period of time, becoming loose, and at this moment, an abnormal noise of "squeaking" will occur. Try to conduct inspections during the process of abnormal noise. If there are no cracks, just adjust the tightness. If it cracks, the belt and tension pulley must be replaced. If the belt is tightened after cracking, it will cause the belt to crack. After the belt ruptures, the diesel engine cannot run normally.

The adjustment method of the generator fan belt: Press or pull on the middle of the transmission belt with a force of 30-50 Newton, and the difference between the transmission belt and the original part is 15-20 millimeters. The tightness of the transmission belt is considered normal, otherwise it should be adjusted. The method can be divided into different structures: it is equipped with a tensioning wheel structure. Loosen the fixing nut, turn the adjusting screw, and move the tensioning wheel up and down to achieve the desired tightness; The fan and generator are driven by the same transmission belt, and the generator support frame can be moved to change its pulley position to achieve the desired tightness; The belt pulley is composed of two halves. First, loosen the fixing bolts, and then rotate the adjustable half of the belt pulley to change the width of the synthesized belt pulley, and then lift the triangular belt to achieve the desired tightness.

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...
