How to Avoid Excessive Wear of 600KW Yuchai Diesel Generator Set?

 Mechanical equipment is inevitably prone to wear and tear after a period of use, and Yuchai diesel generator sets are no exception. But if it is excessive wear or abnormal wear, such a situation is abnormal and must be taken seriously. Generally, it is due to improper use by the user or machine failure. Therefore, it is necessary to understand the reasons that cause the wear of the diesel generator set in order to take targeted measures to avoid excessive wear and shorten the service life of the diesel generator set.

The wear of 600KW diesel generator sets such as Yuchai generator set, Cummins diesel generator set, and Shangchai generator set is generally affected by the quality of fuel and lubricating oil, the operating speed and load of the diesel engine, environmental conditions, and operating conditions.

The quality of fuel and lubricating oil should be compatible with the structure of the diesel generator set. If diesel contains sulfur or other impurities, acids and other corrosive substances will be produced during combustion, accelerating cylinder wear; Excessive heavy fractions in diesel can easily form carbon deposits after combustion, causing abrasive wear on piston rings and cylinders; The viscosity of diesel has an impact on the formation of the mixture and the reliability of the fuel supply equipment. For lubricating oil, viscosity and antioxidant properties have a significant impact, and should be selected and used reasonably based on the working conditions of diesel generators and engines. They should not be used indiscriminately.

The friction of a diesel engine increases with the increase of speed and load. When the load increases, the unit pressure on the friction surface increases, resulting in poor thermal conditions. When the speed increases, the number of frictions per unit time increases, and at the same power, the wear is greater when the speed increases than when the load increases. However, excessively low rotational speeds also increase wear due to the inability to ensure good liquid lubrication conditions. So, for a certain diesel engine, there is an optimal operating speed range. In addition, when the diesel engine frequently accelerates, decelerates, stops, and starts, due to frequent changes in speed and load, the lubrication conditions of the diesel engine are poor, the thermal state is unstable, and wear increases. Especially during start-up, the crankshaft speed is low, the oil pump does not supply oil in a timely manner, the refueling temperature is low, the oil viscosity is high, and it is difficult to establish liquid lubrication on the friction surface, resulting in severe wear.

The working temperature of diesel generator sets is one of the important factors affecting wear and tear. The temperature of the operating environment also has an impact on the wear and tear of diesel generator sets. When the temperature is high, the engine is prone to overheating, the viscosity of lubricating oil is low, and the wear of parts increases. When the temperature is low, the viscosity of lubricating oil increases, making it difficult to start the diesel engine. During operation, the cooling water cannot maintain a normal temperature, which increases the wear and corrosion of parts. The 600KW diesel generator set experiences more severe wear during low-temperature starting. During use, due to the limitations of the cooling system structure, changes in workload and speed, changes in ambient temperature, and other factors, the operating temperature of the diesel engine varies greatly. Practice has shown that controlling the cooling water temperature between 75-85 ℃ and the lubricating oil temperature between 75-95 ℃ is most advantageous.

Guangxi Dingbo Electric Power has obtained the following summary: Methods to prevent excessive wear and tear of Yuchai diesel generator sets or other brand generator sets: Reasonably choose the operating conditions of the diesel engine, select fuel and lubricating oil suitable for the engine, improve the operating skills of the staff, and carry out timely maintenance.

Dingbo Power was founded in 1974 and is one of the earliest manufacturers of generators and diesel generator sets in China. If you want get more information, please feel free to send email to sales@dieselgeneratortech.com we will pay highly attention on your question.

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...

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...

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...
