Maintenance of Lubrication System for Diesel Generator Set Part 1

In today's society, the stability and reliability of power supply are directly related to the production and operation of various industries and the normal life of residents. As an important component of backup power, diesel generators play a crucial role in extreme weather conditions. However, extreme weather often poses a severe challenge to the operation of diesel generator sets, especially their lubrication systems, which are more susceptible to wear and damage in harsh environments.

In the complex operating system of diesel generator sets, the lubrication system, as one of its core components, cannot be ignored in its importance. The main responsibility of the lubrication system is to provide an appropriate amount of lubricating oil to various friction surfaces inside the engine, in order to reduce friction and wear between components and ensure efficient and stable operation of the engine. Therefore, the maintenance of the lubrication system has a crucial impact on the overall performance and lifespan of diesel generator sets.

 

The primary function of the lubrication system is to reduce friction between internal components of the engine. During engine operation, significant frictional forces are generated between various components. If not lubricated, these frictional forces can quickly cause wear and even damage to the components. Lubricating oil can form a lubricating film between components, effectively reducing the friction coefficient, thereby reducing wear and extending the service life of components.

 

A well lubricated engine can reduce additional energy consumption caused by friction during operation. When the friction between components decreases, the resistance that the engine needs to overcome also decreases, thereby reducing energy loss. This not only helps to improve the efficiency of the engine, but also helps to reduce energy consumption and emissions, meeting the environmental requirements of modern energy conservation and emission reduction.

 

Lubricating oil not only lubricates but also has a cooling effect. When the engine is running, a large amount of heat is generated between the components. If the heat cannot be dissipated in time, it can cause the components to overheat or even be damaged. Lubricating oil can absorb and take away some heat, helping the engine maintain a suitable operating temperature. In addition, lubricating oil can form a protective film on the surface of components to prevent corrosion and damage from the external environment, further protecting the safety of engine components.

 

An engine with poor lubrication will produce significant noise and vibration during operation. This is because friction and wear between components can increase the gap between them, resulting in noise and vibration. A well lubricated engine can reduce this noise and vibration, making the engine run more smoothly and quietly.

 

However, under extreme weather conditions such as high temperature, low temperature, humidity, or sandstorms, the performance of lubricating oil can be affected, thereby exacerbating the wear of engine components. Therefore, strengthening the maintenance of the lubrication system is of great significance for reducing wear and tear under extreme weather conditions.

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
