Diesel Generator Tech

Last week, our company's after - sales department received a repair call. The starting motor of a diesel generator set purchased from our company two years ago couldn't rotate. Our company immediately sent Technician Zhang to conduct maintenance. This kind of fault of the diesel generator set was a piece of cake for the experienced Technician Zhang. After his treatment, the problem was solved on the same day. The starting motor of a diesel generator set is also called a starter motor. Technician Zhang from Dingbo Power introduced that there are generally two situations for the failure of a diesel engine's starting motor to rotate. One is that the action sound of the electromagnetic switch's engagement can be heard, but the starting motor doesn't rotate. The reasons may be insufficient battery power, poor contact in the starting circuit, or a fault in the starting motor itself. The other is that the electromagnetic switch doesn't engage and the starting motor do...

In modern times, diesel generators have become standard equipment across various industries. When grid power fails or becomes insufficient, diesel generator sets provide continuous and stable power supply for businesses or factories. A diesel generator set consists of three main components: a diesel engine, an alternator, and a control system. So, what exactly is an alternator? About AC generators   Alternators can be categorized into two main types: DC generators and AC generators. AC generators are further subdivided into synchronous generators and asynchronous generators. In modern power stations, synchronous generators have become the most widely used type due to their unique excitation methods and ability to provide both active power and reactive power simultaneously. In contrast, asynchronous generators feature simpler construction and easier operation. However, their lack of independent excitation windings prevents them from supplying reactive power to loads and requires t...

First, let's understand what a diesel generator cylinder is. The cylinder is where the air - fuel mixture burns and performs work. Inside the diesel engine cylinder, the clean air filtered by the air filter is fully mixed with the high - pressure atomized diesel sprayed from the fuel injector. Under the compression of the upward - moving piston, the volume decreases, the temperature rises rapidly, and reaches the ignition point of diesel. The diesel is ignited, the mixture burns violently, the volume expands rapidly, and pushes the piston downward, which is called "doing work". The working environment of the cylinders in a diesel generator set is extremely harsh. Specifically, it has the following characteristics: 1.The inner surface is directly exposed to the action of high - temperature and high - pressure combustion gases. 2.There are drastic temperature changes during the working process. During the combustion process, the temperature of the combustion gas can reac...

Spark plugs, commonly known as spark igniters, are used to discharge the pulsed high-voltage electricity sent by high-voltage wires (spark plug wires). They break down the air between the two electrodes of the spark plug, generating an electric spark to ignite the air-fuel mixture in the cylinder. The main types include: standard spark plugs, insulator projection spark plugs, electrode spark plugs, seat spark plugs, multi-electrode spark plugs, surface discharge spark plugs, etc. Spark plugs work in conjunction with the ignition system and the fuel supply system to make the engine run, and to a large extent, jointly determine the performance of the engine. How much do you know about the maintenance of spark plugs for 200KW natural gas generator sets? For 200KW natural gas generator sets, the spark plugs should be maintained every approximately 250 hours of operation. The specific maintenance cycle depends on the actual operating environment of the spark plugs.   Clean the carbon...

  Generators plays an important role in providing electricity and   three phase generators   may be familiar to many businesses and building managers. As a powerful energy source, 3 phase generators are suitable for use in industrial or commercial settings. In this article, let’s look at the three phase generator price and the factors you need to consider when buying one. What Is A Three-phase Generator? There are two main types of generators: three-phase and single-phase. A single-phase generator is an electric generator that uses one alternating current (AC) phase to produce electricity. This type of generator uses a single conductor active wire and a neutral wire to complete a circuit. It can supply up to 240 volts of power and is typically used in residential applications. Three phase electric power is a common type of AC used in electricity generation, transmission, and distribution. A 3-phase generator uses three active wires which are all offset by 120 degrees and ...

Many users don't follow the operational procedures when using diesel generator sets, which will affect the normal operation and lifespan of generators. To help you out with this, here are 7 common mistakes to avoid when using   diesel engine generators . 1. Loading without prelubrication and warmup after cold starts on diesel generators Cold starting a diesel generator without prelubrication and warming up can lead to premature failure or more friction and wear on important parts. To ensure smooth generator startup and operation, let the diesel engine run at idle speed for a period of time to heat up and then turn it into normal operation when the oil temperature becomes normal and the oil supply is sufficient. Avoid pressing the accelerator hard after cold starting the generator, this may damage the machine. 2. Adding coolant improperly Before starting the diesel generator, ensure that there is enough coolant on the reservoir and do not add hot water immediately. Before adding coo...

Diesel generator set "burning oil" refers to the lubricating oil in the lubrication system of the unit entering the cylinder and participating in combustion. Burning oil not only increases the fuel consumption of the unit, but also leads to insufficient combustion of the engine oil. Over time, it can cause a large amount of carbon deposits, affecting the power performance of the unit. Therefore, when we find that diesel generator sets are burning oil, we must deal with it in a timely manner. Below, Top Power will introduce the 6 reasons why diesel generator sets are burning oil. 1. Too much oil in the oil pan   Some users have inserted the dipstick incorrectly and failed to seat it to the bottom, resulting in the measured oil level being lower than the actual oil level. Therefore, they need to add new oil, causing the oil level to be too high. If the bottom end of the connecting rod of the high-pressure lubricated engine touches the oil surface, or if the oil ring of the spla...
