Guides to Reduce the Wear of Diesel Generator Parts



While the diesel generator is running the load, it is also the process of mutual wear of the parts of the diesel generator itself. Starlight Power Diesel Generator Manufacturer recommends that users minimize the wear between the components of the gensets. Reducing the wear of the parts is also a way to extend the service life of the unit. Here are some effective ways to reduce wear of the generator parts.







The quality of the fuel and lubricant of the diesel generator set should be matched with corresponding specification of generating set.



If diesel contains sulphur or other impurities, acid and other corrosive substances will be generated during the combustion process to accelerate the wear of the cylinder; too much heavy fraction in the diesel fuel will easily form carbon deposits after combustion, abrasive wear is generated between the piston ring and the cylinder; viscosity of the diesel has an effect on the formation of the mixture and the reliability of the oil supply equipment. For lubricating oil, the viscosity and oxidation resistance is the most influential. It should be reasonably selected according to the working conditions of the diesel generator set.



Tests showed that the friction of diesel generators increases with the increasing of rotating speed and load. As the load increases, the unit pressure on the friction surface increases and the thermal condition is poor. When the rotational speed increases, the number of times of frictions is increased by half per unit time, and under the same power, the increase of rotational speed is greater than the load increases.



However, too low rotating speed can not guarantee good liquid lubrication conditions, and also increases wear. Therefore, a suitable working speed range is required for the trouble-free operation of power generator.



In addition, when the operation of diesel generator set is often unstable, such as acceleration, deceleration, stop and start, due to frequent changes in the speed and load, the lubrication condition of diesel genset is poor, the thermal state is unstable, and the wear is increased.



Especially when starting, the crankshaft speed is low, the oil supply from oil pump is not in time, the oil temperature is low, the oil viscosity is large, and the friction surface is difficult to establish liquid lubrication, and the wear is very serious.



Diesel generator set wear caused by ambient temperature



Engine is easy to overheat when the temperature is high, the viscosity of the lubricating oil is low, and the wear of the parts is increased. When the temperature is low, the viscosity of the lubricating oil becomes large, and the diesel generator is difficult to start. The cooling water cannot maintain the normal temperature during operation, which increases the wear and corrosion of the parts. The wear is more serious when the gensets is at low temperature.



The operating temperature of diesel generating set is one of the important factors affecting the wear. During the process of operating, due to the limitations of the cooling system structure, change in the workload and speed and the change in the ambient temperature, the operating temperature of the diesel generator set varies greatly. Practice shows that the cooling water temperature is controlled at 75-85°C, and the lubricating oil temperature is 75-95°C.



To sum up, users should strengthen the technical study of diesel gensets to ensure the correct use of the units and reduce the wear of parts. The engineer of diesel generator manufacturer instructs everyone to proceed from the following aspects:



1. Reasonable choose the operating condition of the diesel generator.

2. Improve the running-in quality of diesel generators.

3. Select fuels and lubricants suitable for the working needs of diesel engines.

Select suitable lubricant and lubrication method, replace dry friction with ideal fluid friction, which is the most effective way to reduce friction and wear. For generators, according to the specific requirements of different engine and the season and the use of different regions to choose the appropriate brand of lubricants.

4. Improve the level of operation technology and timely maintenance.

During use, the maintenance of the fuel supply system, the intake system and the lubrication system should be done.



No matter how good the quality of the product, only know how to better maintain, can reduce the wear of the products and extend the service life of the machine.

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 ...
