Maintenance of Silent Diesel Generator Set




A regular generator maintenance should be done according to user manual. We know that diesel generator consumes diesel fuel during operation, and exhaust gas is directly discharged. When the exhaust gas is discharged, the speed of the fan is obviously increased, thereby causing exhaust noise.

Noise is emitted from the exhaust gas, and noise is also generated when entering the air. When the generator is running, it will produce different mechanical friction machinery noise as the components run, and there is noise from the cooling fan. This is a relatively common sound. If the generator is used in the urban area or the places required noise environment, then you should use a silent diesel generator instead of open type generator.

In this article, we will talk about how to maintain your silent diesel generator.

1. Low noise generator set cooling system
If the cooling system is faulty, it will cause two results. 1) insufficient cooling will cause the water temperature in the generator set to be too high and shut down; 2) Water level in the water tank is lowered by the leakage of the water tank, and the unit will not operate normally.

2. Fuel system
The increase in the amount of carbon deposits will affect the fuel injection volume of the injectors, resulting in insufficient diesel combustion, the amount of fuel injected into each cylinder of the engine is not uniform, which results in unstable operation of the silent generator.

3. Battery
If the battery is not maintained for a long time, the electrolyte will not be supplied in time after evaporation, starting the battery charger without equipment, battery will be discharged after long-term natural discharge.

4. Engine oil
The oil has a shelf life, which means that the physicochemical function of the oil will change if it is not used for a long time, and the cleanliness of the diesel generator set will deteriorate during operation, which will accelerate the wear of the unit parts.

5. Fuel tank
When water enters the diesel generating set, water vapor in the air will be condensed under the change of temperature, and the drop of water will be attached to the inner wall of the fuel tank. When the water drops into the diesel oil, the water content of the diesel will exceed the standard. After such diesel enters engine high-pressure oil pump, the precision coupling will be rusted, and if it is serious, the unit will be damaged.

6. Oil filter, fuel filter and air filter
During the operation of the soundproof electric generator set, oil or impurities will deposit on the wall of the filter, and the filter function will be degraded due to excessive filtration. If the deposition is too much, the oil circuit will not be unblocked. When the electric equipment is working, it will not be able to use properly because the oil cannot be supplied.

7. Lubrication system, sealing elements
Due to the chemical properties of the lubricating oil or grease and the iron filings after mechanical wear, these not only reduce its lubricating effect, but also damage other parts. As the lubricating oil has a certain corrosive effect on the rubber seal, other oil seals  also aging at any time to make the sealing effect decline.

8. Line connection
If the silent diesel generators are used for too long, the connection may be loose. Therefore, periodic inspection is very necessary.


Advantages of Starlight Silent Generating Sets

Starlight silent generating sets adopt vibration isolation, noise reduction, sound insulation, sound absorption, fireproof, high temperature resistance, rainproof, anticorrosion and so on noise reduction technical measures, which greatly reduce its noise index. This series of genset has remarkable low noise performance, multi-layer shielding impedance mismatch type soundproof cover, reducing the impact of noise on users.

Starlight silent generator noise level can reach 65 dB at 7 meters, with low fuel consumption, reliable performance and easy operation features. Most soundproof gensets produced by other manufacturers just can reach 75dB or 80dB.

The structure of Starlight low noise/silent diesel generators is reasonable. A large capacity fuel tank is mounted on the bottom of the unit that is enough to run 8 hours. Two maintenance doors are installed on the left and right side for unit troubleshooting. In addition, an observation window and a unit emergency shutdown failure button are provided on the box to observe the operation of the unit and stop the genset at the fastest speed in case of emergency so as to avoid damage to the gen set.

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 ...
