Operation and Maintenance of Volvo Generator Set Batteries

The Volvo generator set battery should be soft and firmly installed in the installation frame to prevent damage to the electrode plate and shell due to vibration. The connection between the wire and the pole should be firm and in good contact. When installing batteries in Volvo generator sets, the "live wire" end should be connected first, followed by two sets of batteries in series, and then the "ground" end. When disassembling the battery, the sequence is reversed.

When adding electrolyte to Volvo generator sets, only pure sulfuric acid and distilled water should be used, and no debris such as metal conductors should be dropped; The battery should be kept clean regularly. After removing the oxide on the pole and connecting rod, a layer of lubricating grease (petroleum jelly oil) should be applied to prevent oxidation of the pole and connecting rod.

Regularly check the liquid level of the electrolyte in the battery of Volvo generator sets. The liquid level should be 10-15mm higher than the electrode plate. If it is insufficient, only distilled water can be added. Unless it is confirmed that the decrease in the liquid level is caused by electrolyte overflow, sulfuric acid solution can be added.

Measure the density of the electrolyte using a suction densitometer, while measuring the temperature of the electrolyte using a thermometer. When the electrolyte temperature rises or decreases by 1 degree Celsius, subtract or add 0.0007g/cm3 from the electrolyte density to convert it to a standard density value of 20 degrees Celsius. After adding distilled water or strong discharge, the electrolyte density cannot be measured immediately due to uneven electrolyte distribution. Measure the discharge voltage using a high rate discharge meter.

Cold and winter should keep the Volvo generator set battery in a charged state frequently to prevent the electrolyte from freezing, causing the plate to arch, the active substance to fall off, or the shell to crack. Adding electrolyte or distilled water in winter should be done before charging the battery or starting the generator set for power generation.

Necessary adjustments should be made to the electrolyte density in summer and winter. In summer, a small amount of electrolyte can be inhaled before adding distilled water. In winter, some electrolyte with a density of 1.4g/cm3 should be added. If the Volvo generator set battery needs to be left unused for 1-2 months, it should be fully charged and the electrolyte density should meet the specified requirements before storage.

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...
