Diesel Generator Set Fuel Injection Pump Internal Leakage

The fuel injection pump of a diesel generator set is an important component of the diesel engine fuel supply system, which increases oil pressure, controls fuel injection time and quantity. Its working condition directly affects the power, economy, and reliability of the diesel engine.

The fuel injection pump is driven by the engine crankshaft gear to rotate the camshaft to complete the fuel injection function. The fuel injection pump is usually equipped with a speed controller to ensure the low-speed operation of the diesel engine and limit the maximum speed, ensuring a certain relationship between the injection amount and the speed. There are five measures to prevent internal leakage in the fuel injection pump of diesel generator sets:


(1) Ensure the cleanliness of diesel fuel. The characteristics of the diesel engine fuel supply system and the formation method of the combustible mixture determine that the filtering requirements for diesel in diesel generators are much higher than those for gasoline in gasoline engines. Therefore, it is necessary to choose diesel that meets the required grades and undergoes sedimentation for at least 48 hours.


(2) Strengthen the maintenance and upkeep of the fuel system: It is necessary to strengthen the maintenance of the diesel filter and timely clean or replace the filter element; Timely clean the fuel tank to prevent impurities in diesel from causing serious corrosion or wear to the fuel injection pump plunger and outlet valve.


(3) Properly assemble the fuel injection pump. Before assembly, all parts must be thoroughly cleaned to prevent impurities from adhering to the surface of the mating parts. When disassembling and assembling the plunger and oil outlet valve components, they should be taken out, installed, and replaced in pairs. Do not pull out the plunger casually, and mark it if necessary to avoid confusion, which may cause excessive clearance between plunger components and oil leakage. Be careful not to lose or miss the copper washer under the positioning screw of the plunger sleeve. Tighten the oil outlet valve seat to the specified torque (60-70N · m). Do not tighten too tightly.


(4) Regularly check the fuel supply of each cylinder. Due to the wear and tear of the plunger and oil outlet valve components, diesel internal leakage can cause a decrease or uneven fuel supply to each cylinder, resulting in difficulty starting, insufficient power, increased fuel consumption, and unstable operation of the diesel generator. Therefore, it is necessary to regularly check and adjust the fuel supply of each cylinder of the fuel injection pump to ensure the full performance of the diesel engine power. In practical use, the fuel supply of each cylinder can be determined by observing the exhaust gas of the diesel engine, listening to the engine's sound, and detecting the exhaust temperature.


(5) Regularly check the sealing condition of the oil outlet valve. After a period of operation of the fuel injection pump, the sealing condition of the oil valve can be checked to make a rough judgment on the wear of the plunger and the working condition of the oil pump, which is conducive to determining repair and maintenance methods. When checking, unscrew the high-pressure oil pipe joints of each cylinder and pump oil with the hand pump of the oil delivery pump. If oil flows out of the top oil pipe joint of the fuel injection pump, it indicates that the sealing of the outlet valve is poor (this situation can also occur if the spring of the outlet valve is broken). If multiple cylinders have poor sealing, the fuel injection pump should be thoroughly maintained and the matching parts replaced.

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.

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
