Maintenance Methods for Diesel Generator Sets

Diesel generator sets, as emergency or backup power sources, have been widely used in various fields. During use, due to various reasons, the units may inevitably encounter various faults. In this case, it is necessary to investigate and repair the units. When carrying out unit maintenance work, attention should be paid to using the correct process and methods, following the correct operating procedures, in order to ensure the quality and efficiency of diesel generator set maintenance work and ensure human-machine safety.

The organizational methods for the maintenance process of diesel generator sets can be divided into two types: the basic methods of generator set maintenance operations and the forms of labor organization.

 

1. Basic methods for repair work

 

For the repair of generator sets, the basic methods can be divided into on-site repair method and assembly exchange repair method.

 

(1) Machine repair method

 

In the process of repairing a generator set, the method of repairing any repairable parts, components, assemblies, etc. that have been removed from the original machine, except for scrapped parts, and still being installed back into the original machine after repair, is called on-site repair method. At present, most units adopt this repair method.

 

When using the on-site repair method, due to the varying degrees of damage to each part, assembly, or assembly, the amount of repair work and the required repair time also differ, which often affects the continuity of repair and assembly work. The assembly of the entire machine often requires waiting for the parts, assemblies, or components with the longest repair time to be repaired before proceeding, resulting in a longer repair time. But for general units, there are not many models of the same type, and in situations where accessories are scarce, using this repair method is advantageous.

(2) Assembly exchange repair method

 

During the repair process of the generator set, except for the engine body, all other assemblies, assemblies, and parts that need to be repaired are replaced with reserve parts (repaired or newly purchased), and the replaced assemblies, assemblies, and parts are stored in the reserve warehouse as spare parts after repair. This repair method is called assembly exchange repair method. This repair method reduces the time delay caused by repairing assemblies, components, and parts, ensures the continuity of repair work, greatly shortens repair time, and improves production efficiency. It is suitable for units with a large number of the same model and sufficient spare parts reserves.

 

2. The labor organization form of maintenance work

 

(1) Comprehensive homework method

 

The comprehensive operation method refers to the repair operation of the entire generator set, except for individual parts repair and processing (such as forging, mechanical processing, etc.) which are completed by professional workshops or professional work groups, all other work is completed by one work group. With this operation method, the work scope of the work group is relatively wide (understanding both internal combustion engine repair technology and motor repair technology), and the technical requirements for the staff are relatively comprehensive. Currently, most units adopt this method.

 

(2) Professional division of labor method

 

The professional division of labor method refers to dividing the unit repair operation into several work units according to job types, parts, assemblies, components or processes, with each unit being undertaken by one worker or one work group. This method of operation is easy to improve the technical proficiency of workers in individual operations, facilitate the use of professional tools, and achieve high-quality repair goals. However, it requires the technical management department to have a complete and sound management method to ensure that the repair work is carried out rhythmically.

Diesel Generator Power Ratings: Standby vs Prime vs Continuous

Diesel generator sets are commonly used in a variety of sectors due to their dependable performance and high efficiency. They can be used for emergency power supply in the event of a power cut or used in places without connection to a power grid. When selecting a diesel generator for your home or business, you need to consider many factors, such as generator’s ratings. In this article, we’ll explain the three basic rating types - standby, prime, and continuous in diesel generators. ISO-8528-1:2018 defines basic generator set rating categories based on four operational categories: Emergency Standby Power (ESP), Prime Power (PRP), Continuous Power (COP) and Limited-Time Running Prime (LTP). Read on and learn the application of power ratings for engines used in generating sets. Standby Power Rating Standby Power(ESP) is used to supply emergency power when the external power supply is interrupted, such as power outages. Standby power rated generators can supply reliable electricity as t...

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...
