Water Discharge and Leakage Issues of Diesel Generator Sets

Due to the low external environment temperature of the diesel generator set, when the water temperature drops after 15 minutes of shutdown, the cooling water should be discharged, but not immediately. Otherwise, due to the large temperature difference between the body and the external environment, some components of the diesel generator set engine will deform, which will affect the performance of the diesel generator set engine (such as cylinder head deformation).

When draining water, it is not advisable to turn on the drain switch to ensure that everything is in order. It is also important to observe the specific condition of the water flow to see if it is smooth and if there are any signs of water flow decreasing or slowing down. If these situations occur, it indicates that the cooling water contains impurities that hinder the normal flow of water. At this time, it is advisable to remove the drain switch and allow the cooling water to flow directly out of the body.


If the water flow is still not smooth, then hard and slender steel objects such as iron wires should be used to clear the diesel generator set until the water flow is smooth. After the cooling water stops flowing out, shake the diesel generator set for a few more turns. At this time, the remaining and difficult to flow cooling water will flow out completely due to the vibration of the diesel engine, which can prevent the water blockage on the cylinder head from freezing and falling, and the cooling water will flow into the oil shell in the future.


At the same time, it should also be noted that if the drain switch is not removed, after the drain is completed, the drain switch should be in the open state to prevent unnecessary damage to the corresponding components of the diesel engine of the diesel generator set caused by the temporary inability of the remaining cooling water to flow out due to various reasons.

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.

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...
