Repair Procedures for 700kW Diesel Generators 1

Repairing a 700kW diesel generator follows certain procedures. How can you quickly and accurately locate the generator's faults? You need professional and systematic knowledge of generator repair. Today, the author will popularize relevant content for you.

Cylinder Block

1.Damage to the Cylinder Block

Common damages to the cylinder block include bearing burnout, deformation of the main bearing holes, cracks, breakage, corrosion of the water port, and wear of the mating surfaces.

During visual inspection, there should be no cracks or damages. If any damage that causes water leakage, oil leakage, or air leakage is found, it must be repaired or replaced. Special attention should be paid to checking for cavitation and corrosion at the sealing ring area where the cylinder block contacts the cylinder liner.

2.Main Bearing Holes

For cylinder blocks with bearing burnout, the diameter of the main bearing holes must be measured, and non - standard main bearing holes must be corrected.

3.Camshaft Holes

When the exposed copper area on the surface of the camshaft bushing exceeds 120 degrees, the camshaft bushing must be replaced. If the camshaft bushing is excessively worn, it must also be replaced; otherwise, it will cause low oil pressure. If the bushing rotates in the seat hole, the size of the seat hole must be checked. If it exceeds the standard, repair the seat hole and replace the bushing.

4.Cylinder Liner Seat Holes

Check the out - of - roundness of the cylinder liner seat holes, which should not exceed 0.025mm. Check for cracks on the shoulder of the cylinder liner seat hole. The protrusion of the cylinder liner should be between 0.15 - 0.20mm. After the new cylinder liner is installed in the cylinder block, it should not swing from side to side.

 

Piston, Piston Ring, and Piston Pin Assembly

The damage phenomena of the piston include:

1.Ablation of the piston top surface;

2.Wear of the side walls of the piston ring grooves and breakage of the ring lands;

3.Increase in the diameter and out - of - roundness of the piston pin hole;

4.Cracks in the pin boss area;

5.Scratching at the piston skirt;

6.Wear and ovality at the piston skirt;

7.Presence of ridges inside the piston ring grooves;

8.Excessive piston wear.

 

Connecting Rod Assembly

The main damages to the connecting rod assembly include:

1.Wear of the small - end bushing;

2.Wear and deformation of the small - end bushing seat hole and the big - end bearing seat hole;

3.Bending and twisting of the connecting rod;

4.Cracks, elongation, thread wear, or thread stripping of the connecting rod screws or bolts;

5.Scratching on the connecting rod body;

6.Bearing burnout and deformation of the connecting rod.

When installing the connecting rod assembly, it must be operated according to the correct torque parameters and correct steps, and the bolts and screws must be re - checked.

Warning: The installation of the connecting rod assembly must be carried out personally by the engineering director. Damaged connecting rod assemblies must be scrapped; otherwise, it will cause the danger of the connecting rod breaking, punching through the cylinder block, and breaking the crankshaft.

What Is the Difference Between Electric Motor and Electric Generator

An electric motor is an electrical machine that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. Most electric motors operate through the interaction between the motor's magnetic field and winding currents to generate force. In certain applications, such as in regenerative braking with traction motors, electric motors can be used in reverse as generators to recover energy that might otherwise be lost as heat and friction. An electric generator operates in the reverse direction, converting mechanical energy into electrical energy. Electric generator can be divided into various type, open type, silent type, trailer type, portable type and container type, etc. Electric generator is mainly composed of diesel engine & alternator. Electric generator set is mainly composed of engine, alternator, control module, and common base. Electric generator :- Electric generator is a type of machine which converts mechanical input (energy) into electrical output (...

Perkins Powerful 4000 Series Engine at Middle East Electricity

The Perkins team returns to Middle East Electricity (MEE) in 2017 to promote the full range of its diesel and gas electric power engines. Taking pride of place is the 4000 Series platform, which is designed to provide prime or standby power in critical applications. The evolution of the Perkins 4000 Series The steady evolution of the powerful 4000 Series has taken place over a number of years, thanks to significant investment from Perkins.

Perkins sells hundreds of 4000 Series engines every year into the prime power market. It has built more than 50,000 4000 Series engines for some of the world’s biggest businesses, and up to 30 pe...

Engine Fault Code Messages - Volvo Penta Engine

Volvo Penta Engine Fault Code When a malfunction has occurred and the diagnostic system has generated one or more fault codes, these are read out differently depending on the equipment used. Please refer to “Fault code messages”. If the system indicates that a fault code has been set: 1 Cut engine speed to idle, or shut the Volvo engine off. 2 For DCU/DU Read the fault code from the display, please refer to Reading fault codes via the DCU or Reading fault codes via the DU. For CIU press the diagnostic button and read the fault code, by observing the flashing of the diagnostic lamp. Refer to Reading fault codes via the diagnostic lamp, CIU. 3 Look up the fault code in the Fault Code Register chapter and take the recommended measures. Reading fault codes via the DU (Display Unit) Depending on the severity of the fault the text, either WARNING! or ALARM STOP (a buzzer sounds) will be shown on the display 1 Press any button to come to the fault list. The f...
