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.

Baudouan Weichai 1530KW Diesel Generator Set 16M33 Series Engine

Weichai is the earliest enterprise in China to develop and produce generator sets, with a production history of over 60 years. It mainly produces land - based and marine generator sets, including diesel - type and gas - type units. Weichai's M33 series engines include 6M33, 12M33, and 16M33 diesel engines. These are high - power high - speed diesel engines independently developed by Weichai based on the mature product platform of Baudouin's M26 series in France. The development of this series of models fills the gap in Weichai's high - speed diesel engines for power generation in the 500 - 1530kW power range, enabling effective competition with foreign brands. The M33 series Weichai engines inherit and carry forward the advanced product development and design concepts of the French Baudouin M26. They are benchmarked against international advanced engines, effectively avoiding various design defects. The product development emphasizes high reliability and low emissions. Th...

How to Connect A Diesel Generator to Your House?

Diesel generators are fuel-efficient and reliable, which can almost meet the power needs of any application. If you want to power the whole house during power shortages, it’s a good choice to choose a diesel generator set as the backup electricity supply. But how to connect a diesel generator to your house? Read on and you will find the answer. Options to connect a diesel generator to your home   Keep in mind that never plug your generator directly into the mains, or it will cause back feeding, damage your appliances and be life-threatening for utility workers. Generally, you can choose to connect a generator to your house by using extension cords or a transfer switch. Understanding the difference between them is helpful for you to choose the right type. Extension cords   Typically, extension cords are suitable for smaller diesel generators that used for short term. They require no installation and are cost-effective. If you need to power only some basic appliances such as...

What Should You Pay Attention to in Routine Maintenance of Diesel Generator Sets

In modern society, the stability of power supply is directly related to the operation efficiency of enterprises and people's quality of life. Diesel generators have become an indispensable backup power supply or main power source in various industries due to their high efficiency, durability and reliability. However, to ensure the smooth operation and optimal performance of the generator sets, regular maintenance is essential. Here is what you need to pay attention to in the routine maintenance of diesel generators. Keep your generator clean It’s important to keep the generator’s exterior and the generator room clean. Regularly remove any dirt, dust, or debris that may accumulate to on the generator’s surface. This is not only for the sake of beauty, but also for the smooth operation of the unit. Cleaning the generator’s exterior, air intake vents, exhaust outlets and generator room can effectively reduce the risk of generator overheating. In addition, check if the connection bol...
