Useful Maintenance Tips for Diesel Generator Set




The correct maintenance of diesel generator set is the key to prolong the service life and reduce the cost of diesel generator. Meanwhile, proper maintenance can also keep diesel generator working efficiently. How to maintain diesel generator set? The useful tips are as follows:


1. After the installation of the diesel generator set, the sealing inspection should be done before starting. In addition, the generator must be started under no load.

2. For the newly purchased diesel genset, it must be run in 60 hours before used.

3. After the start of diesel generator set, it must be run 3-5 min under no load, then it can be allowed to accelerate and load. When the water temperature is higher than 75, the oil temperature is higher than 50, and the engine oil pressure is higher than 0.25MPa, it can be allowed to work normally.

4. For the new supercharged diesel engine or the new replacement supercharger, which must remove the inlet connector on supercharger, filling in 50-60ml engine oil to prevent burning out turbo-charger bearing due to the lack of oil at startup.

5. When the diesel generator set runs, you should observe the operation of the generator and the indicator value of all instruments. In case of emergency, you should adopt emergency shutdown measures to prevent diesel generator from being killed due to water shortage overheating or oil pressure loss.

6.  In general, it is not allowed to start diesel generator set without air filter (Except for marine diesel generator sets). This can prevent dust and impurities entering the diesel engine so as to avoid the early wear of diesel genset.

7. For the running diesel generator set, it should be careful to prevent steam wounding when filling coolant liquid. Only when the water temperature is below 70can allow to open pressure cap.

8. Diesel generating set shall be in the parking state when adjusting the belt tension and other driving devices.

9. When the diesel generator set is stopped, especially in winter, without using anti-freezing coolant, all the cooling water in the cooling tank should be drained to prevent machine from cracking.

10. The diesel engine is not allowed to be directly cooled by seawater. In case of the thermolator for controlling  water temperature is out of order, it should be promptly replaced instead of removing.

11. Users are not allowed to remove all seals on the diesel generator set. If necessary, the machine should be repaired or adjusted by professional company.

12. Regularly checking the fastening bolts and nuts to check whether they are loose or not.

13. It should be careful to avoid acid wounding when supplementing the battery electrolyte.

14. When the diesel generator set is not used for a long time or in the maintenance, in order to prevent the diesel engine starting in accident, the connecting wire between the generator and the battery should be removed.

15. When filling the engine oil, different specifications of the lubricating oil can't be mixed use.

16. Doing a thorough cleaning to the engine body every month, without grease, dust and sundries including equipment, accessories, and cleaning and oil storage of tools.

17. According to the requirements for the use of genset and the climate natural environmental condition, safeguard procedures should be taken timely especially for mobile generating set. In winter, you should promptly replace antifreeze oil and cooling liquid. In summer, you should strengthen sunstroke prevention and cooling measures. The outdoor work gensets should be covered with tent in order to prevent sun exposure. In the rainy season, moisture-proofing should be taken into account.

How to Read Alarm Codes From SmartGen Genset Controller

Auto Module Control Panel is the configuration for nobody on duty controlling generators. This kind of panel adopts auto module control system, with large LCD display to show the menu, such as SmartGen controller. Features:   1. SmartGen 6110 can receive remote output signal from ATS and realize auto start and stop of generators. 2. SmartGen 6310 can realize all functions of 6110, add RS232 interface which can communicate with PC to realize remote operation.  3. SmartGen 6410 Auto Mains Failure controller, can realize all functions of 6310, furthermore can detect  ATS and control directly. The alarm of diesel generator controller is not the amount of stop alarm, which does not affect the normal operation of diesel generator. When the alarm occurs, the unit will not stop, and when the alarm conditions do not exist, the amount of warning will automatically disappear.  Today Starlight manufacturer mainly shares alarm codes for diesel generato...

How to know and solve faults of genset voltage transformer

 Today Starlight Power shares the common faults for voltage transformer of diesel generator set. Hope it is helpful to you. 1) The insulation between iron chips is damaged. Fault phenomenon: temperature rises during operation. The possible causes of the failure are: poor insulation between iron chips, bad use of environmental conditions or long-term operation under high temperature, which promote the insulation aging between iron chips. (2) Poor contact between grounding plate and iron core. Fault phenomenon: there is discharge sound between iron core and oil tank during operation. Cause of failure: the grounding plate is not inserted tightly, and the mounting screw is not tightened. (3) The iron core is loose. Fault phenomenon: abnormal vibration or noise during operation. The cause of failure: the iron core clamp is not clamped, and the iron chip is loose. (4) Turn to turn short circuit of winding. Fault phenomenon: during operation, the temperature rises, there is ...
