How to protect the diesel generator sets installed outside from bad weather, theft or vandalism? What if the noise produced by the generators disrupt the residents around? Many customers are concerned about such problems when buying a power generator. A canopy can be the solution! In this article, we’ll introduce some information about diesel generator canopy. What is a diesel generator canopy? A diesel generator canopy (or enclosure) is a protective structure that can protect a power generator from external environmental factors such as dust, raindrop, snow, sunburn and other particles that are harmful to the generator & its components. Usually, a canopy is a metal box with a proper ventilation system. Canopies are made up of thick metal sheets, which reduce the noise of the generator and help in observing the heat of the generator. Diesel generators with a canopy are referred to as canopy unit, silent unit, soundproof unit or weatherproof unit. Read more about: How Does a Cano...

 In high humidity environments, diesel generators’ performance, reliability and lifespan can be significantly affected. Humidity will not only cause electrical components to be damp, but also may accelerate the corrosion of metal components, affecting the overall performance of the unit. Therefore, it’s important to choose the right diesel generators that need to operate in high humid climates. The bad influence of humid environments on diesel generators Reduced insulation performance: In a humid environment, the electrical components inside a diesel generator are susceptible to moisture, resulting in reduced insulation resistance and bad electrical performance. This may not only cause short circuit and electric leakage, but also pose a serious threat to the stable operation of the unit. Corrosion of metal parts: A high humidity environment will accelerate the corrosion of metal components, such as terminals, bolts and nuts, in the generator set. The corrosion not only reduces t...

Typically, the noise level of a generator during operation will largely depend on the fuel type it uses and its engine size. Fossil fuel generators, like   diesel gensets , usually generate a lot of noise. When buying a diesel generator set, many people worry about the high levels of noise which may be a nuisance to surrounding residents. How to make diesel generator silent? Here are several useful tips to soundproof your generator:   1. Move your generator farther away   Increasing the distance between the diesel generator and yourself is a simple way to reduce the amount of noise you hear. Though moving your generator farther away from where you are doesn’t lower the noise produced by the generator, there will be less acoustic intensity and you won’t be affected by the loud sound. Generally, the noise can be reduced by six decibels if you double the distance.   2. Install anti-vibration mounts or flexible joints   Installing anti-vibration ...

Nowadays, diesel generators serve as a reliable and efficient backup power source during outages and also provide electricity in areas without access to the power grid. They may be used for more complex applications. However, diesel gensets are susceptible to problems during operation due to a variety of reasons. One of the most common problems is the generator runs but doesn’t produce any power. In this article, we’ll explore the common causes and solutions for the diesel generator not producing power issue. Loss of residual magnetism Loss of residual magnetism can be considered as one of the most common causes of a generator producing no power. Diesel generators with a self-excited alternator rely on the residual magnetism of the alternator, left from it being run previously, to build up its initial voltage. Diesel generators don’t have magnets. Instead, they rely on conductors to create a magnetic field by turning the output voltage into a direct current which they funnel throug...

Today, diesel generators have been a popular choice for many industries due to their superior fuel efficiency, reliability, durability and versatility. Without doubt they will remain the leading source of both portable and emergency power generation for the foreseeable future. This article explains what a diesel generator governor is and introduces different types of governor. What is a diesel generator governor?   A diesel generator governor is a device that is responsible for regulating the the speed of the engine to maintain the required output specifications. It acts as the speed controller for the diesel engine, which is an essential component of the diesel generator set. The governor is designed to respond to load changes and control the fuel to the engine cylinders to maintain a stable and consistent speed. A constant engine speed is vital to maintain the frequency of the generator output. How does a diesel generator governor work?   Generally, the ba...

If symptoms such as misfires, rough idling, or poor fuel economy occur during the operation of your diesel generator set, it is likely that your fuel injectors are clogged. A malfunctioning fuel injector can even cause the difficult starting of engine. In this article, we’ll introduce the function of diesel generator fuel injector and you’ll have a basic understanding of this device.  What is the function of fuel injector in diesel generator?   Diesel fuel injectors are an important component of diesel fuel system. The function of the fuel injectors is to deliver a precise amount of atomized and pressurized fuel into each cylinder. This helps to ensure efficient combustion, increased power and fuel economy, and smooth operation of diesel engine. Fuel injectors can optimize fuel consumption in traditional diesel engines and play a crucial role in their performance and efficiency. Generally, diesel fuel injectors are made of durable material...

This article continues to introduce the calculation method of impulse current for parallel operation of diesel generators. The expression of the transient inrush current during the no - load connection of a doubly - fed induction generator is derived. The influence of the voltage amplitude difference and the phase difference on the inrush current is analyzed, and corresponding measures to suppress the inrush current are proposed. When a three - phase synchronous generator operates symmetrically, the effect of a single - phase can be equivalently considered. Through the finite - element modeling of a single - phase generator, it is verified that the frequency difference has little influence on the inrush current. The closing operation for paralleling does not select the moment when the frequency between the generator and the system is the same. A slight frequency difference makes it easier for the main generator to pull the generator to be paralleled into synchronization. Therefore, th...

In today's electrified era, power generation equipment is widely used. The fluctuation of the load leads to changes in the number of operating generators in the power system. The parallel operation of diesel generators (including grid - connected operation of generators) is a frequent and important operation. The parallel operation of generators has numerous application fields, such as ships, mines, and power plants, and plays a significant supplementary role in the national production and people's lives. As the single - unit capacity of synchronous generators continues to increase, when the two - phase circuits are connected at the moment of paralleling, appropriate paralleling conditions can enable a smooth transition from the original two stable operating states to one stable operating state. Improper operation will generate a harmful inrush current, which may cause electrical damage to the windings of the generator set and even produce a large electromagnetic torque, resul...

Diesel generators produce electricity by burning diesel fuels. They convert mechanical energy into electrical energy. Cooling system is an essential part of a diesel generator, which can carry heat from diesel engine to keep its temperature within safe limits. Without the cooling system, the generator set will be damaged. In this article, let’s look at the diesel generator cooling system. What is the cooling system in a diesel generator? The cooling system is an important component of a diesel generator, as it helps to regulate the temperature of the engine and prevent overheating. Diesel generators burn duel in the engine during the combustion process to generate electricity, which produce an extraordinary amount of heat. If the heat is not controlled, it can cause wear and tear within the engine and damage to the interior components, ultimately shortening the lifespan of the generator. The cooling system is designed to absorb heat from the engine and transfers it to a radiator or ...
