Diesel Generator Tech

 Cummins diesel generators will generate a lot of heat during operation. If ventilation and heat dissipation are not done properly, the generator set may be damaged or even cause major equipment failures. Therefore, users must pay attention to the ventilation and heat dissipation problems of the unit during installation. Specific requirements are as follows: 1. When installing the Cummins diesel generator set , the radiator should be as close to the air outlet as possible to avoid the recirculation of hot air. When there is no air duct, it is recommended that the distance between the radiator and the air outlet should not exceed 150 mm. If the equipment room cannot meet the above requirements, the corresponding air duct should be installed. 2. The area of the exhaust port should be 1.5 times the exhaust area of the radiator. Under normal circumstances, it is necessary to cooperate with the radiator to install the air duct and the exhaust shutter. The bend of the ...

The engine of the 290kW Cummins generator set adopts the Cummins patented PT fuel system, which enables the set to have higher reliability, durability, power and fuel economy while meeting environmental emissions. So do you know what its crankshaft position sensor failure strategy is? (1) The concept of failure strategy. The so-called failure strategy is the operation mode of the electronically controlled diesel engine under the fault state. When the diesel engine is in the following conditions, the control strategy will enter the Limphome state. 1. The crankshaft position sensor is damaged or the signal circuit is open or short circuited. 2. The camshaft phase sensor is damaged or the signal circuit is open or short circuited. 3. The oil pressure sensor of the common rail is damaged or the circuit is open or short circuited. 4. The oil metering valve of the high-pressure oil pump is damaged or the drive circuit is open or short-circuited. 5. The electronic throttle sensor is d...

The control system of Cummins diesel generator can display and record some operation faults, and these faults are expressed in the form of fault codes. These fault codes can make faults analysis easier and are recorded in ECM. These fault codes can be read by using the fault indicator on the dashboard or the INSITETMTM service tool. So how to read land use Cummins genset fault codes? Here Starlight shares some methods with you: 1. Fault codes display on fault indicator light Most, but not all, electronic fault codes display on the fault indicator light when they work. When a fault code works, four kinds of fault indicator lights may turn on. A.If “ warning” indicator light is yellow, indicating we should remove faults as soon as possible; B.If “stop” indicator light is red, indicating we need to shut down the diesel engine safely as soon as possible; C. Land use diesel generators should be maintained in a state of shutdown until all faults are removed;...
