Diesel Generator Tech

As a type of power generation equipment, diesel generator sets are guaranteed a certain warranty period by the generator manufacturer at the time of purchase to ensure that users can use them with confidence. In order to ensure the normal use of diesel generator sets, Dingbo Electric reminds you to use them correctly and maintain them in a timely manner to ensure the best performance and reliability of the diesel generator sets. However, it should be noted that not all malfunctions are covered by the warranty. We hope users are aware of the following areas that are not covered by quality warranty services.     1. Failure to maintain the unit as required or improper use resulting in  diesel generator  failure or component damage will not be covered by warranty.   2. If the diesel generator is damaged due to self modification, modification for other purposes, or self attachment of other devices, or overloading (overloading) work, the entire machine will not be cov...

  Diesel generators   produce electricity by burning diesel fuels. They convert mechanical energy into electrical energy. Cooling system is an essential part of a diesel generator, which can carry heat from diesel engine to keep its temperature within safe limits. Without the cooling system, the generator set will be damaged. In this article, let’s look at the diesel generator cooling system. What is the cooling system in a diesel generator? The cooling system is an important  component of a diesel generator , as it helps to regulate the temperature of the engine and prevent overheating. Diesel generators burn duel in the engine during the combustion process to generate electricity, which produce an extraordinary amount of heat. If the heat is not controlled, it can cause wear and tear within the engine and damage to the interior components, ultimately shortening the lifespan of the generator. The cooling system is designed to absorb heat from the engine and transfers it ...

Valve seat is one of the components of diesel generator set. It is a circular surface machined on the cylinder block or cylinder head. The valve cone is sealed or seated on the valve seat, which provides a sealing surface for the intake and exhaust valves to prevent gas leakage. The valve seat can also help dissipate the heat accumulated on the valve. Types of valve seats   There are two types of valve seats: integrated and embedded.   Similar to valve guides, the integrated valve seat serves as the cylinder head   Part of it is directly cast; The embedded valve seat uses a metal ring as the valve seat, which is pressed into the cylinder body and needs to be ground to the correct angle. Engines with aluminum cylinder heads typically use embedded valve seats. Inlaid valve seats can be made of cast iron, hardened cast iron, high chromium steel, and tungsten chromium cobalt alloy (very hard steel).   To ensure the normal operation of the  diesel generator set , the...

  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 ...

Diesel generator set "burning oil" refers to the lubricating oil in the lubrication system of the unit entering the cylinder and participating in combustion. Burning oil not only increases the fuel consumption of the unit, but also leads to insufficient combustion of the engine oil. Over time, it can cause a large amount of carbon deposits, affecting the power performance of the unit. Therefore, when we find that diesel generator sets are burning oil, we must deal with it in a timely manner. Below, Top Power will introduce the 6 reasons why diesel generator sets are burning oil. 1. Too much oil in the oil pan   Some users have inserted the dipstick incorrectly and failed to seat it to the bottom, resulting in the measured oil level being lower than the actual oil level. Therefore, they need to add new oil, causing the oil level to be too high. If the bottom end of the connecting rod of the high-pressure lubricated engine touches the oil surface, or if the oil ring of the spla...

  Generally, many customers will compare prices between different generator units before they purchase a generator. Besides the generator’s purchase cost, it’s also important to consider the overall costs, including the fuel cost and maintenance cost. A majority of businesses prefer   diesel generator sets   because they use less fuel while generating more energy output. So how much does it cost to run a diesel generator? This article will help you assess a diesel generator’s running cost.   Factors that affect the cost of running a diesel generator   There are several factors that affect the generator’s f running cost. The things below could lower or increase the estimate costs of running your generator.   Fuel cost   The amount of fuel consumed by your generator depends on various factors, including the fuel efficiency of the engine, the size of the generator, the load level applied, run hours, the fuel condition and so on. The use frequency and your...

  Diesel is the main fuel for diesel generator sets. Due to its low ignition point, the ignition form of diesel engines is compression ignition, which not only does not have an ignition system, but the structure of the fuel supply system is also very simple, making it more reliable than many gasoline engines. Therefore, it is widely used in various industries as an emergency backup power source. However, diesel is also an extremely flammable and explosive substance. Therefore,   diesel generator set   users must know the following knowledge about diesel! 1. Under what circumstances will diesel explode?   When the concentration of diesel vapor reaches the explosive limit (concentration of 0.6% -8.0%), it will explode if exposed to open flames or static electricity, which is related to the air pressure, temperature, and atmospheric humidity at that time. Dingbo Electric recommends that the fuel tank should not be filled too full. Oil tank overflow is a very dangerous t...

Generally,   diesel generator sets  are installed with a governor to keep a specified speed range. The governor can quickly and automatically adjust the fuel supply based on the change of load. It keeps balance between the generator output power and the load, ensuring the stable operation of the diesel generator set. For some reason, sometimes generator overspeeding problem may occur. Here we’ll explore the possible causes of overspeed in a diesel generator and what you need to do next.   Causes of overspeed in a diesel generator   Typically, the generator overspeed problem may be caused by the following reasons:   Faulty governor   The  governor  is designed to control the fuel to the engine cylinders so as to control the speed of the unit. If the governor malfunctions and cannot perform its function for some reason, the engine will over speed. Failure of the governor’s internal parts may cause failure of t...

The "three filters" are important components of diesel generators and play a crucial role in their normal operation. They refer to the oil filter, air filter, and diesel filter, which are used to filter impurities from engine oil, air, and diesel, respectively. The oil filter needs to be replaced every 200 hours of operation of the  diesel generator set ; Replace the air filter according to the indicator display; The diesel filter needs to be replaced every 400 hours of operation of the diesel generator set, and the replacement cycle generally depends on the quality of the diesel. If the diesel quality is poor or the working environment of the unit is dusty, the replacement cycle needs to be shortened; Timely cleaning and maintenance of the "three filters" can fully utilize the performance of diesel generators, reduce the failure rate of generators, and help extend the service life of generators.   At present, there is a mixed bag of filter maintenance parts in the ...
