Maintenance and Repair of Generator Sets

Many companies purchase generator sets as backup power sources. After a sudden power outage, a generator set can be used to generate electricity, so that work will not be delayed. In addition, residential areas will also purchase   generator sets   for emergency use, allowing everyone to live normally in the event of long-term or short-term power outages. However, many enterprises may discover some faults when using generator sets, and at this point, they may believe that the poor quality of generator sets is actually caused by the lack of maintenance and repair during normal use. How should the generator set be maintained and repaired? To generate electricity normally, the generator set must be controlled through a control panel with indicator lights. These indicator lights can be used to determine whether the machine is functioning properly. If the signal light is not working properly, it can be repaired immediately. The control panel should not have oil or water stains, oth...

Mechanical Failures in the Crankshaft of Automated Generator Set

Today, we will briefly introduce the reasons why the crankshaft machinery of automated generator sets malfunctions. If you have any further information about this, please feel free to consult our Dingbo website. Next, we will introduce relevant materials to you. Poor meshing between the  generator set  and flywheel teeth: The gear ring and starter gear may collide when starting the engine, causing tooth damage or unilateral wear of the teeth. If the teeth are damaged or severely worn for more than three consecutive times, it will be difficult for the starter gear and ring gear teeth to mesh. Sticky cylinder: When the engine temperature is too high, it stops and stops, making it difficult for heat to dissipate. At high temperatures, the piston ring adheres to the cylinder and cannot start after cooling. Crankshaft locking: Due to lubrication system malfunction or lack of oil, the sliding bearings dry friction causes the crankshaft to lock and cannot start. If the unit cannot st...

Cummins Diesel Generator Set Displays High Battery Voltage Alarm

Why does the Cummins diesel generator set display a high battery voltage alarm? The Cummins diesel generator set with fault displays are all relatively advanced diesel generator sets. From the perspective of the current popular Cummins generator set, it is possible to consider following the example of others. The Cummins power system diesel generator set is currently the most advanced microprocessor based and highly automated control. It provides fuel control and engine speed regulation functions, main generator output, and complete   diesel generator set   control and monitoring. It also provides automatic and semi-automatic synchronization of parallel power systems with isolated busbars or mains (main power supply), as well as automatic load distribution control functions. The operation of traditional domestic diesel generator sets is completely different from that commonly seen in the past. Due to the use of intelligent PCC modules to control the diesel generator set and a ...

Failure Strategy of Crankshaft Position Sensor of Cummins Generator Set

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...

How to Clean Air Filter of Cummins Diesel Generator Set

In this article, Starlight mainly shares the methods to clean and replace air filter element of Cummins diesel generator . After the air filter of Cummins generator set is used for a period of time, the filter element will become dirty, and the intake resistance of the filter will also increase. When the intake resistance of the air filter increases to more than 625kpa, the diesel engine will not get enough air supply, resulting in early   exhaust black smoke and power shortage. The user can determine the blockage of the air filter by observing the air resistance indicator installed on the intake pipe behind the air filter. That is, if the indication window of the air resistance indicator changes from green to red under normal conditions, it indicates that the intake resistance of the filter exceeds the limit value and needs to be cleaned or replaced. In the event of an air filter blockage, stop Cummins generator immediately to clean or replace the air filter core,...
