Top 10 Basic Knowledge of Diesel Generator

For modern communication equipment, it is necessary to ensure both the normal operation of the equipment and the normal operation of its operating environment. Under normal circumstances, the AC power required for the operation of these devices is mainly provided by the power department. However, when the power department conducts normal maintenance or power outages occur due to natural disasters or man-made disasters, the property owners must rely on their own standby diesel generator sets for power supply to ensure the normal operation of communication equipment. Many people may still be quite unfamiliar with mechanical equipment such as diesel generator sets. Although they are closely related to people's lives, they are not easily accessible. Today, Guangxi Dingbo Power, a diesel generator brand manufacturer, will popularize 10 basic common sense about diesel generator sets for everyone.

1.Why do we require customers to install the exhaust pipe of the diesel generator set with a downward slope of 5 - 10 degrees?

Mainly to prevent rainwater from entering the exhaust pipe, which could lead to major accidents.

2.Why is the standard outlet voltage of the generator 400V instead of 380V?

Because there is a voltage drop loss in the line after the power outlet.

3.Why do new machines need to have their engine oil and oil filters replaced after being used for a period of time?

During the running-in period of a new machine, impurities will inevitably enter the oil pan, causing physical or chemical changes to the engine oil and oil filter.

4.What are the six basic systems included in a diesel generator set?

(1) Engine oil lubrication system; (2) Starting system; (3) Exhaust system; (4) Cooling and heat dissipation system; (5) Control and protection system; (6) Fuel system

5.What is the function of the manual oil pump and exhaust bolt usually installed on a diesel engine?

They are used to remove air from the fuel pipe before starting the engine.

6.How is the automation level of diesel generator sets classified?

Manual, self-starting, self-starting with automatic mains transfer switchgear, long-distance three remote controls (remote control, remote measurement, remote monitoring)

7.Why do we recommend that customers use the engine oil recommended by professional companies during the sales process?

Engine oil is the blood of the engine. Using professional engine oil can lubricate and dissipate heat for key components such as the bearing bushes and gears of diesel generators, reducing wear and extending the service life. If inferior engine oil is used, it can lead to serious accidents such as bearing bushes seizing, gears breaking teeth, and crankshaft deformation and fracture, and may even result in the complete scrapping of the engine.

8.A generator set has stable voltage and frequency after being loaded, but the current is unstable. Where is the problem?

The problem should lie in the unstable load of the customer. There is no problem with the quality of the generator.

9.When installing the engine oil filter, diesel filter, and oil-water separator of a diesel generator set, it is not advisable to use tools to screw these three filters too tightly. Just screw them by hand until there is no oil leakage. Why?

Because if they are screwed too tightly, under the action of oil soaking and the temperature rise of the machine body, the sealing ring will expand thermally, generating great stress. This can cause damage to the filter housing or the separator housing itself. More seriously, it can lead to damage to the machine body nuts, making them irreparable.

10.Different brands of diesel generator sets share a general formula for calculating current:

I = P/(√3 Ucos φ) (Current = Power (watts) / (√3 * 400 (volts) * 0.8)). The simplified formula is: I (A) = Rated power of the unit (KW) * 1.8

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 Choose a Household Mini Generator

With the improvement of people's living standards, there are more and more household appliances, such as rice cookers, microwaves, kettles, refrigerators, air - conditioners, washing machines, etc. It can be said that every household has them. But what if there is a power outage? These appliances won't work properly, and our lives will be greatly disrupted. How can we avoid this? We can use household mini - generators to provide convenience in power consumption. So, how to choose a good household mini - generator? Consider the noise level Since it is for household use, when choosing a household mini - generator, we need to check whether the noise will affect the neighbors. Generally, the seller will demonstrate the performance of the generator in advance. A good household generator can reduce noise by about 80%. Choose a generator with a moderate price Due to different brands, there are significant differences in power, and consequently, the price differences of househ...

How to Choose Efficient Diesel Generators for the Film and Television Industry?

In the film and television industry, the stability of the electricity supply during filming is crucial. Whether the equipment are the cameras or the lighting equipment on the filming site, or the post-production equipment, they all need stable and reliable power support. Unstable or interrupted power can result in interrupted filming, damage to equipment, and even affecting the progress and quality of the entire project. Therefore, investing in high-efficiency diesel generator sets has become an important measure for the film and television industry to ensure the reliable power supply for shooting. Determine the power requirements Before choosing a diesel generator set for the film and television industry, it’s necessary to figure out the total power needs, including the electricity demand of the shooting location, the total power of the electrical equipment and the time of using electricity. Also consider whether there are special needs for the generators such as low noise level and...
