Diesel Generator Set Mechanical Blade Oil Transfer Pump Part 2

This article continues to introduce the structure and working principle of mechanical blade type oil transfer pumps and plunger type oil transfer pumps for diesel generator sets.

The fuel consumption of diesel engines varies under different operating conditions. When the load is high, the fuel consumption is high, causing the pressure at the outlet of the fuel pump to decrease. At this time, the plunger is pushed by the plunger spring, increasing the stroke of the plunger and increasing the pump oil volume. On the contrary, as the load on the diesel engine decreases, the fuel consumption decreases, the pressure at the outlet of the fuel transfer pump increases, the plunger stroke decreases, and the pump fuel volume decreases accordingly.

The oil drain hole is used to remove fuel from the gap between the push rod and the pump body, preventing fuel from flowing along the push rod. Insert the tappet into the cam chamber to dilute the lubricating oil in the cam chamber.

The fuel pump is also equipped with a manual fuel pump to remove air from the fuel system. When in use, the handle can be pulled up and down. When the handle is raised, the plunger of the hand oil pump moves upward, and the pressure below the plunger decreases. Fuel enters the fuel valve from the inlet and flows into the upper part of the fuel transfer pump plunger through the oil passage. When the handle is pressed down, the inlet valve closes. The oil pressure above the fuel pump increases, and the check valve is pushed open to pressure the fuel out from the outlet.

The fuel pump is a single acting piston type, installed on the side of the fuel injection spring and driven by an eccentric wheel on the fuel injection pump shaft. Its function is to suck fuel from the fuel tank and supply sufficient fuel to the fuel injection pump at a certain pressure. Before starting the diesel engine, the hand pump on the fuel pump is used to pump oil and remove air from the oil circuit. It can smoothly suck up fuel within 1 meter below the center of the fuel pump within 0.5 minutes. After pumping, the handle nut must be tightened.

The 46 cylinder B series and B series reinforced fuel injection pumps use roller type fuel transfer pumps, while the 12 cylinder B series fuel injection pump is equipped with two roller type fuel transfer pumps with inlet and outlet pipe joints on the left side and a separate hand pump installed at the front end of the diesel engine body.

The working principle of the fuel transfer pump: When the roller and top rod of the fuel transfer pump are at the lowest position of the eccentric wheel of the fuel injection pump, the piston is pushed upward by the action of the spring, and the fuel in the upper chamber of the piston is expelled. At this point, the one-way valve on the oil outlet side closes, and fuel is sent to the fuel filter, creating a space in the lower chamber of the piston The one-way valve of the fuel inlet is opened, sucking in fuel. The eccentric wheel continues to rotate, and the movable chamber begins to move downwards until the roller and top rod come into contact with the highest point of the eccentric wheel. The fuel is squeezed open and enters the upper cavity of the piston through the one-way valve on the outlet side. This cycle continues, sucking in and discharging the fuel. When the positive force of the oil outlet pipeline increases to the point where the oil pressure at both ends of the piston is equal, the piston no longer moves with the top rod to maintain balance, and the oil pump stops working.

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...

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...
