Diesel Generator Tech

A diesel genset may malfunction after a certain period of use. It’s crucial to know how to troubleshoot diesel generator issues. Disassembly is an important part of the generator set repair work. If you want to dismantle and repair the generator yourself, you need to make some preparations and follow the normal disassembly methods to prevent damage to the machine or other accidents. In this article, Dingbo Power introduces several important things that you need to know about disassembly of diesel generator. Principles of disassembly To prevent various accidents and ensure smooth disassembly of the genset, the following principles should be followed during disassembly: Firstly, understand the structural characteristics of diesel genset as well as its components and how it works. Secondly, for those diesel generators without technical data and instructions, be sure to record the torque of the disassembling parts when dismantling the generator sets. Thirdly, do not extend the scope of ...

In the AC circuit of a silent generator set, a pure resistance circuit where the current and voltage in the load are in phase and can cancel each other out. The method of paralleling capacitors on the inductive load of a silent generator set can compensate for the reactive power of the inductive load by the reactive power of the capacitors, thereby reducing or even eliminating the original energy exchange between the inductive load of the silent generator set and the power source. Most of the loads in the power system are inductive, so the total current will lag the voltage by an angle, and the   silent generator se t's parallel capacitors will be connected in parallel with the load. The current of the capacitor will offset a portion of the inductance current, thereby reducing the total current and increasing the power factor. Insufficient cooling water in a silent generator set can reduce its cooling effect. Silent generator sets overheat due to ineffective cooling, and high oil t...

In-line Engine: In-line is a widely used cylinder arrangement. All of its cylinders are arranged side by side in a plane. Its cylinder and crankshaft are simple in structure and use a cylinder head. It has low manufacturing cost, high stability, low speed torque characteristics, low fuel consumption and compact size. The disadvantage is that the power is low. When the displacement and the number of cylinders increase, the length of the engine will increase greatly. At present, the number of cylinders of the mainstream in-line engine is 4 cylinders and 6 cylinders. In-line engines are generally suitable for diesel generator sets of 20 kW to 600 kW. V-type engine divides all the cylinders into two groups, and arranges the adjacent cylinders at a certain angle together, so that the two groups of cylinders form a plane with an angle, and the cylinder has a V-shaped engine from the side. Starlight Diesel Generator V-type engine has a small height and length and is stable in oper...
