Diesel Generator Tech

The generator is a mechanical equipment that converts other forms of energy into electrical energy. It is driven by a water turbine, steam turbine, diesel engine or other power machinery, and converts the energy generated by water flow, air flow, fuel combustion or atomic Nuclear fission into mechanical energy and then transfers it to the generator, which converts it into electrical energy. Generators have a wide range of applications in industrial and agricultural production, national defense, technology, and daily life. The so-called phase leading operation of   generators   refers to the stable operating state of generators emitting active power and absorbing reactive power. When the generator is running in phase, four main issues should be noted: First is a decrease in static stability. The second is that the end leakage magnetic field causes an increase in the temperature of the stator end. Thirdly, the voltage of auxiliary power decreases. Fourthly, due to the decrease i...

 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 ...

As we know that engine maintenance is very important to prolong the service life of a  diesel generator . However, providing and maintaining an adequate supply of clean, high-quality fuel, lubricating oil, grease and coolant in an engine is one way of ensuring long life and satisfactory performance. In this article, we mainly talk about Cummins engine lubricating, fuel and coolant. The function of lubricating oil The lubricating oil used in a Cummins engine must be multifunctional. It must perform the primary functions of: Lubrication by providing a film between the moving parts to reduce wear and friction. Cooling by serving as a heat transfer media to carry heat away from critical areas. Sealing by filling in the uneven surfaces in the cylinder wall, valve stems and turbocharger oil seals. Cleaning by holding contaminants in suspension to prevent a build up of deposits on the engine surfaces. In addition, it must also provide: Dampening and cushioning of c...
