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...

What Is Volvo Electronic Diesel Control?

Volvo Engine Electronic Diesel Control? EDC 4 (Electronic Diesel Control) is an electronic system with CAN (Controller Area Network) or potentiometer communications for diesel engine control. The system includes fuel management and diagnostic functions. Overview The system includes sensors, control unit and an engine speed regulator. The sensors send input signals to the control unit, which in turn governs the injection pump control rack by means of an actuator in the engine speed regulator. Input signals The control unit receives input signals about engine operating conditions from the following components: 1. rpm sensor, camshaft 2. coolant temperature sensor 3. charge pressure sensor 4. oil pressure sensor 5. fuel temperature sensor 6. coolant level sensor (the function is implemented in the control unit as standard, but no sensor is supplied with the engine as a standard feature.) Output signals The control module uses the input signals t...

Transportation, Installation and Ventilation of Diesel Power Generator

Transportation of diesel power generator The foundation of electric generating set is designed especially for the convenient transportation. Incorrect transportation will cause serious damage to the   components of the set. Forklift can be applied for lifting the electric generating set or push or pull the set by putting forth effort on the underframe. If push, do not use fork push machine directly but shall put some wood between the fork and generator bracket for preventing damage to the generator bracket and weight disperse. If the electric generating set needs to be moved frequently, “oil-filled slide” can be installed on the generator bracket which will provide the forklift with groove and suspension. Small types are already equipped with groove for forklift on the underframe. It is forbidden to lift the electric generating set by the rings of engine or alternator. Examine whether the lifting device and supporting are in good condition and whether the load cap...

Components Introduction of Diesel Electric Generator Set

Each generator set has a name board, generally nailed on the casing of alternator or the empty open casing. The information on the name board is used for identify the generator as well as its operating characteristics, which includes type number, set serial number, output voltage, phase and frequency, and designed power (output power is expressed by KVA or KW). This information will be represented again in the technical data sheet attached with this manual for reference. All of the serial numbers are unique and won’t be repeated. These numbers are required when buying accessories and after services. Diesel engine As the power resource of the electric generating set, the diesel engine is specially designed and manufactured for this electric generating set and of secure and reliable performance. Diesel engine belongs to industrial 4 stroke compression ignition type and complement with relevant accessories for the purpose of stable power supply. The accessories include cy...

How to Prevent Electric Shock from Generator Set

Prevent electric shock from diesel generator The load connection of this machine requires experienced electrician with certification and must be in consistent with relevant regulations, standard and other specification of electrical equipment. If necessary, ask the agent to send somebody for examining the machine before start it. It is only applicable when the electric generating set (including pulling electric generating set) is ensured to be connected to the electrical equipment whose specification complies with the local standard. It is necessary to open the negative connection (-) of battery before connecting or dismounting the load. Do not connect or dismount load standing in water or on wet ground. Do not touch the electrification components or power leads by body or metal components without insulation when it is in electric power generation. The connection box cover shall be reset immediately after finishing the connection or dismount the load. It is f...
