Diesel Generator Tech

  The most widely used sensors in modern automated diesel generator sets are: "speed sensor", "temperature sensor", and "oil pressure sensor". Speed sensor   Generally speaking, the speed of a  diesel generator set  is stable, at 1500 or 1800 revolutions per minute. So the speed sensor, as the name suggests, is used to monitor the real-time speed of the diesel generator set. If the speed of the diesel generator set is not normal, there will also be problems with voltage and frequency, resulting in the diesel generator set being unable to operate normally.   Temperature sensor   In order to ensure the normal operation of the diesel generator set, it is necessary to detect the coolant temperature and fuel temperature inside the diesel generator set during operation, which requires the use of temperature sensors.   In the diesel generator set, the coolant temperature sensor is located on the cylinder on the front right side. Its function is to control the...

Diesel generators  have a reputation for being robust and reliable. However, like any other piece of machinery, they cannot be 100% reliable. It’s frustrating that your diesel generator fails to start in the event of a power cut. Understanding the common reasons why a diesel generator won’t start is essential for proper troubleshooting and maintenance. In this article, Dingbo Power explores 11 common causes for generator not starting and provides you with measures to fix it as well .   Lack of fuel   If your diesel generator runs out of fuel or has an insufficient amount of fuel, it won’t be able to start as usual. Therefore, when you experience generator failure, you should first check the fuel tank level and fill the fuel tank if the level is low.   Poor or contaminated fuel   Contaminated fuel, such as water or debris in diesel, can prevent your generator from starting smoothly. Low-quality fuel can’t support the operation of the diesel engine. It is ess...

Continuing from the previous text, we will introduce how to effectively maintain the cooling system of diesel generators in cold weather. In addition, before winter, the cooling system should be thoroughly cleaned to remove accumulated scale, rust, and sediment, ensuring smooth and unobstructed flow of coolant. It is recommended to use professional cooling system cleaning agents, follow the instructions for operation, and avoid using highly corrosive cleaning agents to prevent damage to metal parts. After cleaning, the aging water pipes, joints, and radiator fins should be inspected and replaced to ensure that the entire system is in optimal condition.   The performance of key components such as water pumps, thermostats, radiators, and fans in the cooling system directly affects the cooling effect. During winter maintenance, these components should be checked one by one for wear, looseness, or blockage, and replaced or repaired in a timely manner. Especially the thermostat, which i...

When you are looking for a standby diesel generator, the fuel consumption should be a consideration. You can benefit a lot from a highly fuel-efficient generator, such as fuel savings and lower operating expenses. In this article, we will provide you with a general guide to standby diesel generator fuel consumption. What are standby diesel generators? Standby diesel generators  are diesel engine powered equipment that generate electricity and provide a reliable and efficient source of backup power for homes, businesses, and industrial facilities during power outages. Diesel generators have a reputation of longevity and fuel efficiency, they tend to consume less fuel for a similar task and can hold up through much wear and tear in a variety of environmental conditions. Standby diesel generators come in different power configurations and can meet your specific backup power needs during emergencies and power outages. Fuel consumption of a standby diesel generator Fuel consumption...

In today's world where energy demand is increasing and environmental protection pressures coexist, diesel generator sets, as important emergency backup power sources and distributed energy systems, have become the preferred power equipment in the industry for their high efficiency, energy saving, and environmental performance. With the rapid development of technology, the application of a series of advanced technologies is profoundly changing the operational efficiency and environmental performance of diesel generators, leading a green revolution. Today, Dingbo will talk about how these technologies can help diesel generator sets achieve high efficiency and energy conservation, and meet the requirements of green building energy conservation and emission reduction, from multiple dimensions such as combustion technology innovation, fuel injection system optimization, and intelligent management system introduction. Combustion efficiency is one of the core performance indicators of  di...

Diesel generators   provide a reliable source of power to your facility or business during an emergency situation when the mains power fails or in places without connection to a power grid. To ensure your generator works smoothly when needed, it’s necessary to perform a load bank test periodically. In this article, we’ll cover what you need to know about diesel generator load bank testing. What is the load bank testing of a diesel generator? Diesel generator load bank testing  is an essential part of a comprehensive preventative generator maintenance routine. This task involves using a load bank to put artificial loads on the generator to test the Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) and generator under load conditions. During the test, all parameters are monitored and documented and the information about the specific generator tested will be showed in the load bank test report. With the report, you will see a clear picture of the overall health of the emergency stand-by power s...

In today's rapidly developing industrial and energy fields, diesel generator sets are indispensable power supply equipment, and their stability, efficiency, and durability directly affect the continuity and economic benefits of enterprise operations. Among the many factors that affect the performance of   generator sets , maintenance of the lubrication system plays a crucial role. An efficient and healthy lubrication system can not only effectively reduce friction and wear between mechanical components, but also improve the overall efficiency of the engine and extend the service life of the unit. Today, Dingbo will talk about the maintenance strategy of the lubrication system of diesel generator sets, aiming to achieve the dual goals of minimizing wear and maximizing durability through scientific management and technological innovation. The diesel generator set contains numerous metal components that rotate at high speeds and rub against each other, such as crankshafts, connecting ...

Diesel generators sets are a smart choice for backup power needs during power outages due to their reliability, durability and efficiency. They can also be used in remote sites where the power grid might be unreliable. However, standby diesel gensets could create safety hazards if not installed correctly. Here are some diesel generator room requirements and design considerations to keep in mind when installing and operating your generator. Where should a diesel generator be placed? Generator exhaust contains carbon monoxide gas, which can cause unconsciousness or death. Therefore, the installation location of generators is essential. The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) has a standard for the installation and use of stationary combustion engines. Per NFPA 37, an enclosed generator set should be located outdoors, at least 5 feet from openings in walls and at least 5 feet from structures having combustible walls. Generators positioned outside the building shall be located in a...
