Diesel Generator Sensor

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 fan rotation, adjust the starting fuel supply, control the fuel injection timing, and protect the engine. The operating range of a typical diesel generator set is -40 to 140 ℃. If the temperature sensor fails, it will cause a decrease in engine speed and power, difficulty starting, and the generator will shut down. Most coolant temperature sensors in diesel generator sets use thermistors.

The fuel temperature sensor in the diesel generator set is installed on the top of the fuel filter housing. Its function is to control the fuel heater and protect the diesel generator set through temperature sensor signals. Once the sensor malfunctions, it will also affect the performance of the unit engine.

Oil pressure sensor

In order to ensure the normal operation of the diesel generator set, it is necessary to detect the oil pressure inside the diesel generator set during operation, which requires the use of an oil pressure sensor. If the oil pressure of the diesel generator set is too low, we need to check whether the oil pressure sensor is faulty. Diesel engines rely on lubricating oil for lubrication. Once the pressure of the lubricating oil is too low, various components of the diesel generator set will experience friction, causing component failures, heat distortion, and other faults. In severe cases, it can damage the diesel engine. Therefore, when using diesel generator sets, we should also regularly check whether the oil pressure sensor is normal.

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 (...

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...
