Maintenance Periods of Diesel Generator Set



Notes:

1. The maintenance period of the diesel generator set is calculated according to the working hours and calendar time and subjected to the first satisfaction of the regulations between the both.

2. The clients shall performance overhauling and maintenance in advance according to the actual running state of the diesel generator set. The maintenance period and items of the engine shall be appropriately adjusted according to performances such as: purpose, use state, fuel oil as well as lubricating oil, etc.

1. The requirement of standby diesel generator set is to keep rapid good starting and inputting standby state. Therefore, it is required to perform regular overhauling and following test running.

Maintenance and test running of engine

Run for 5-10 minutes under appropriate load each week

Run for 5-30 minutes under appropriate load each week

Check:
Starting performance, lubricating oil pressure, exhaust, smoke as well as vibration, etc.

4. Implications of the symbols listed in the aforementioned form:

: Overhauling, cleaning as well as adjustment

: Replacement of standby products

: When the customer can not perform overhauling voluntarily, he can contact the manufacturer behind the supplier.

New type, overhaul and long-term seal up for safekeeping diesel generator sets, overhauling items needed to be performed after the initial 50 working hours.

Fuel Oil, Lubricating Oil and Cooling Water for Machine Set
12.1. Regulations on usage of fuel oil

1. When the ambient environment is 535, 0,-10light diesel oil can be used. 10light diesel oil also can be used in the southern area and -20, -30light diesel oil can be used in the cold area in the northern area in winter;

2. It shall be used after the fuel oil precipitates for 72 hours and the precipitation time shall not be less than 24 hours;

3. If the fuel tank is placed outside the room, there should measures for preventing rain and dust;

4. Its not allowed to use disqualified fuel oil or use it not according to the regulations.

12.2 Regulations on Usage of Lubricating Oil

The first function of the engine oil is to lubricate the moving parts. The engine oil forms hydraulic oil slick among the metal surfaces and prevents the metal components from directly being contacted and reduce friction, when the oil slick is not sufficient to avoid directly contacting the metal parts, the following situations will occur: friction generates heat, generates bonding and metal transfer will cause abrasion or obstruction.

Therefore, when selecting the engine oil, the attention should be given to the following matters:

1. 15W/4D level engine oil can be selected for general machine sets, some imported or joint ventures diesel generator sets such as: Cummins, Volvo as well as Perkins, etc. should use SAE15W/40 and the engine oil with performance grade satisfying API and CF-4.

2. As for new machine or overhauled machine, all the engine oil should be exchanged after running for 50 hours. More, it is necessary to cleanse or exchange engine oil cleaner and cooler;

3. Different brand engine oils can not be used mixedly.

12.3 Regulations on Usage of Cooling Water

This regulation is applicable to all series of diesel generator sets. The cooling water cycle system of the diesel generator set is one of key machine sets. For the preparation and usage of the cooling water, it arouses the users enough emphasis. Otherwise, the severe cooling water scale is caused the circulation area become small, the performance is undesirable and the diesel engine become exceptionally cold and hot sometimes, and a series faults such as abnormal abrasion at the early period, etc. will be led to the diesel engine.

1. Requirements for Cooling Water

The most appropriate cooling water is softening, and complies with PH value: 6-8.5; hardness:

0.7-5.3meq calcium; magnesium ion/liter; chlorine ion: 150 mg/liter. Generally speaking, the purified rain water, running water or river water can be taken. It is prohibited to directly use well water, spring water and other hard water with content of high salt and high alkaline. If the users condition is restrained, the hard water can be used after treatment.

2. Hard Water Softening Processing Methods:

Boiling method, distillation method as well as chemical treatment

Several Requirements for Machine Room
1. Environmental Requirements for Machine Set Installation

1.1 The machine set shall be installed inside the machine room with good ventilation and environmental conditions quite close to the main electric equipment. The diesel generator room shall be provided with ventilation facilities and exhaust surface wrapped thermal insulation materials to reduce thermal radiation;

1.2. There should be no conductive and corrosive gas inside the machine room;
1.3. There should no flammables and explosives surrounding the machine room;
1.4. The machine room should be equipped with lightning protection facilities;
1.5. Considerations shall be given to the fire control, overhaul and safety passage in the machine room;
1.6. Measures for noise elimination, shock attenuation, daylighting, accumulated sewage as well as discharge.

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 ...
