Reasons for The Power Reduction During Generator Set Operation

  It has been known from the working process of the diesel engine of the generator set that the diesel fuel is injected into the cylinder and mixed with the hot air, and then ignites and burns to generate power. Therefore, the horsepower of the diesel engine is naturally related to the amount of air and the amount of diesel it can burn. In this article, Starlight Power Generation Equipment will introduce it in detail. At high altitudes, due to the decrease in atmospheric pressure, the air density decreases, and the weight of the air drawn into the cylinders of the  generator set  is correspondingly reduced, which limits the amount of diesel that can be burned, and the horsepower decreases. For the same reason, the high temperature and humidity of the air will also reduce the horsepower of the diesel engine of the generator set. Therefore, the use of diesel engines in different regions, or under different atmospheric conditions in the same region, should consider this...

Cooling System Installation of Volvo Penta Diesel Engine

Air-cooled torque converter oil cooler This type of torque converter oil cooler (1) may also be located in front of the radiator (2) and thus cause a cooling air pressure drop and temperature rise. The ATB reduction depends on the radiator type and the torque converter cooling requirement. 1 Oil cooler 2 Radiator 3 Condenser 4 Air flow 5 Sucking fan Cooling air ducts When an engine is installed in a building it is necessary to lead cooling air out of the building to prevent recirculation. On gen set engines with pusher fans the warm air from the radiator must be carried in a duct from the front of the radiator to an opening in the wall. The air outlet opening may have a grille or noise baffles and the free flow area in the opening must be 25 % greater than the radiator core surface area. The air inlet opening in the wall must be as large as the outlet opening. The pressure drop across the inlet, ducts and outlet must be minimized to achieve the best possible c...
