Solution to Oil and Water Leakage of 500KW Diesel Generator Set

Whether it is a domestic or imported diesel generator set, improper use or maintenance may result in oil and water leakage during the use of a 500KW diesel generator set. Diesel generator set manufacturers recommend that users learn to analyze the location of oil and water leakage and then understand the methods to solve this problem.

The oil leakage of the diesel generator set may be due to the leakage of the oil pan gasket. The possible reasons for oil leakage may be that the purchased or self-made paper pads do not meet the required quality standards, such as insufficient thickness, improper storage, wrinkling and deformation, or lack of attention to cleaning during assembly, which may be contaminated with dust and impurities.


The solution to oil leakage from the oil pan gasket of a diesel generator set is to replace the gasket. The method for replacing the oil pan gasket is as follows.

 

(1) Use a socket wrench or a ring wrench to diagonally remove all the fixing screws of the oil pan.

 

(2) After disassembly, clean the parts of the oil pan and crankcase that come into contact with the gasket, apply sealant, and then assemble the gasket neatly.

 

(3) During the assembly process, screws should be tightened diagonally, and one screw should not be tightened before the second one. After all the screws are tightened, gradually tighten all the screws according to the technical requirements. If the management personnel do not understand, they can ask professional diesel generator maintenance personnel to operate and replace it.

 

Excessive oil pressure can also cause oil leakage at the static joint surface. Diesel leakage at the interfaces of the fuel transfer pump and diesel filter in diesel generator sets is generally caused by damaged gaskets or loose return screws. The solutions are as follows:

 

(1) If it is caused by loose oil return screws, the maintenance personnel only need to use a ring wrench to tighten it to the specified torque.

 

(2) If oil leakage is caused by damaged gaskets, new gaskets should generally be replaced.

 

The leakage of the 500KW diesel generator set may be caused by the leakage of the fresh water pump, water radiator, and water pipes; Below, Dingbo Electric will provide specific solutions for water leakage in each component.

 

Fresh water pump leakage

 

(1) If the monitoring hole of the freshwater pump also leaks, the freshwater pump should be removed from the body and disassembled, and then the water seal should be replaced.

 

(2) When the drain valve installed on the freshwater pump leaks due to spring damage, a new spring or drain valve can be replaced. Maintenance personnel should apply lubricating grease on the spring of the drain valve to prevent rusting of the spring.

 

Water radiator leakage

 

(1) The repair method for the upper and lower compartments of the radiator: After detecting the leaking part of the radiator, the leaking part should be cleaned thoroughly, and then the metal paint and rust should be thoroughly removed with a metal brush or scraper, and then repaired with solder. If there is a large area of leakage in the fixing screws of the upper and lower water chambers, the upper and lower water chambers can be removed and two appropriately sized water chambers can be remade. Before assembling the upper and lower chambers, apply adhesive or sealant on the top and bottom of the sealing gasket, and then fix it with screws.

 

(2) The repair method for radiator water pipes: If the outer water pipe of the radiator is found to have a small damaged area during the inspection process, tin welding can be used for repair. If the damaged area is large, use sharp nose pliers to clamp the two ends of the damaged pipe to prevent water leakage. But the number of blocked water pipes should not be too many, otherwise it will affect the heat dissipation effect of the radiator. If the internal water pipes of the radiator are damaged, remove the upper and lower water chambers and replace or weld the internal water pipes of the radiator.

 

Water pipe leakage

 

When water pipes leak due to aging, they should be replaced with new ones. Waterproof tape can also be used for wrapping. If there is water leakage due to rusting of the clip, the clip can be replaced or wrapped with wire.

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...

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...
