How to Check the Diesel Generator Set High Pressure Oil Leakage

 When the diesel generator sets operation, there are may be some small faults occurs, such as oil leakage from high-pressure oil pipes. Although small faults have big hidden dangers, oil leakage will also cause economic waste. Therefore, in this article, Starlight Power Generation Equipment will introduce in detail the cause analysis of oil leakage from high pressure oil pipes of diesel generator sets and the solutions. Oil leakage occurs when the joints of the engine oil pipes are cracked or broken. Generally, the high-pressure oil pipes of the two cylinders of diesel engine I and VI are easier to break than those of other cylinders. In addition to the quality of the oil pipe itself, the main reason is that when the fuel injection pump is repaired and dismantled, the fixed high-pressure oil pipe clamp is missing or installed in an inappropriate position.  The oil leakage in the connection part of the high-pressure oil pipe may be caused by the poor sealing of the...

Cleaning of Perkins Engines lubricating Oil Filters

Cleaning the Centrifugal Lubricating Oil Filter Stop the engine , and allow time for lubricating oil to drain back to sump. (1) Unscrew the cover nut and lift off the filter body cover. (2) Examine "O" ring for damage, renew if necessary. (3) Withdraw rotor assembly from spindle and allow oil to drain from nozzle before removing from filter body. Hold rotor body and remove rotor knurled nut. Separate the rotor cover from the rotor body. Remove central stand tube. (4) Remove sludge from the inside of the rotor cover by means of a wooden spatula or suitably shaped piece of wood and wipe clean. (5) Clean and wash out the central! stand tube using a suitable solvent ensuring that the strainer holes are not blocked. (6) Clean out nozzles with brass wire to ensure free passage of oil. Examine top and bottom bearings in rotor body to ensure that they are free from damage or excessive wear. Examine "O" ring for damage renew if necessary. ...

How to Start and Stop Diesel Generator Sets

This  article mainly introduce how to start and stop diesel generator set with right steps. Notice : *Press the emergency button or switch the control switch to “STOP” to stop the engine at any time. *Before restart, release the emergency stop button and rotate clockwise. Meanwhile, switch the control switch manually to “STOP”. 1. Examine before start the machine according to Chapter 5.2 2. Connect battery to the engine, first positive electrode and then load. 3. Check whether the engine oil is filled to the assigned level. 4. Check whether water is filled. 5. Discharge the air in fuel system. Connect and start the abnormal fueling system will cause unburned oil accumulated in the smoke evacuation system, bringing potential explosion risk. 4.Fill the fuel supply system with manual fuel tank and discharge the air accumulated in the oil filter. (For more detail information, please refer to the “Diesel Manual”) Start : Put the main con...
