How to Charge Storage Battery of Generator Set



Every diesel generator can not start without a battery, and the sufficient power of the battery is a necessary condition to ensure the success of the diesel generator. So how does the battery flush is correct?

Note:
1. Ensure that batteries are charged in a well-ventilated environment without sparks and open fires.

Do not charge in an environment without wind and snow, do not charge near water.

Remember to cut off the charger before removing the connector.

Static (municipal) chargers can be used to charge batteries, which should be disconnected from the connection of the generator set and charged with an external charger.

Charger and battery connection: charger should be connected to a suitable electricity, plug the following connection.

Joint connection:

battle line  Line 6
central line  line N1
earth wire Green / yellow line


Batteries should be connected in the following ways:

Battery connection method: 
Positive terminal(+)  redline  negative (-) electrode Terminal  line black

The connection battery and charger can be connected as follows

Operation of charger: after the charger is connected to electricity, and the charger is connected to the battery, the charging steps are as follows: the electrolyte filter cap or exhaust hole cover is unplugged during the charging process. Check electrolyte water level and adjust it with distilled water when needed. Turn on the charger and observe the normal charge rate, which is determined by the battery capacity, depending on the new and old conditions of the battery and the current charging level. After charging begins, the charging current decreases and continues to decrease as the current voltage increases. The specific gravity of each battery solution is then measured by hydrometer.


Do not overcharge the battery, otherwise it will damage the battery. High temperature can also damage the battery, be careful during charging, especially in the hot climate, the battery temperature must not be higher than 45 degrees.


Note: when repairing and maintaining the starting battery of diesel generator set, wear acid-proof apron and face mask or protective goggles. Once the electrolyte splashes on the skin or clothing, rinse with plenty of water immediately.

Injection of electrolyte: Batteries are often dry in transit, so add the correct mix of specific gravity electrolytes. Remove the plug and pour into each cell until 8 mm above the top edge of the sheet, leaving the battery on for 15 minutes. Check and adjust the water level if necessary.


First charge The battery must be recharged for 4 hours within an hour of injection, with the following current, which allows the battery to be fully mixed, such as insufficient charging time can damage the capacity of the battery. The charging current of the battery model E017 is 9AMPs, and the charging current of E312 is 14AMPSU E324, the charging current is 20AMPS.

The above 4 hours of charging may be extended as follows: 

Battery storage for more than 3 months, or temperature over 30 degrees or higher than BO% for 8 hours

Battery storage time over 12 hours a year.

If the current output of the charger is not enough, then the lower current can be achieved, but not less than one third of the above, but the time is lengthened proportionally. (8 hours 7AMPs instead of 4 hours 14AMPs).

At the end of the charging time, the electrolyte water level should be checked. If it is necessary to add the proper proportion of sulfite electrolyte, the exhaust plug will be put back to its original position.

Normal operation and charging can cause some water to evaporate, which requires the battery to be liquid from time to time. First clean the battery to avoid falling into the dirt, and then remove the exhaust plug. Add distilled water until 8MM (5 / 16) returns to the exhaust plug.

Storage battery is the key to open diesel generator set. In order to ensure fast and reliable start of diesel generator set, battery maintenance must be done well.

In the daily use of diesel generators, a very common fault is that the diesel generators cannot start normally, and most of the reasons for the failure of the diesel generator are the failure of the battery. Below are instructions used to solve the diesel generator battery failure and repair program.

fault
phenomenon
repair
Uncharged current
Wrong or ice dragon is not good
Clean terminal connector
Low voltage for used or used batteries
Battery replacement or special equipment charging
No electricity voltage
Check the lines from electricity to charger
Power fuse failure
Change fuse
Rectifier secondary transistor fault
Replacement rectifier diode fault
Charge ammeter not shown
Rechargeable ammeter failure
Replace charged ammeter
Filling rate is too low
Low voltage
Check charging power supply

Incorrect transformer tap
Check if the current voltage is equal to the transformer tap

Large current joint loose
Check and tighten the tap
Charging clip heating
Poor battery connection
Clean tap to be attached
Repeated fire destruction of fuse on power supply
Fuse power failure
Put on a suitable fuse

short circuit
Check, reconnect all the lines.
Charge current does not decrease
Battery aging damage
Charger is not a fault, battery voltage can not rise to the maximum voltage

Guides to Clean VOLVO Diesel Generator Cooling System

VOLVO Engine Cooling System Volvo engine's internal cooling system makes sure the engine works at the right temperature. It is a closed system that must always be filled with a mixture of concentrated coolant and water in order to protect the engine against internal corrosion, cavitation and bursting due to freezing. Coolant of a suitable chemical composition must be used all year round. This also applies in areas where there is never any risk of freezing, to provide the engine of  diesel generator set   with full corrosion protection. The use of anti-corrosion agents alone is not permitted in Volvo Penta engines. Never use water alone as a substitute for coolant. The corrosion protection additives become less effective over time, which means that the coolant must be changed at regular intervals; refer to Maintenance Schedule. The cooling system must be flushed whenever the coolant is changed; Volvo Penta coolants have been prepared to work best ...
