Gas Generator Set Maintenance Tips


1. Each component of the gas generator set must be maintained in accordance with the method and time specified in the manual. No maintenance exceed the time limit or improper maintenance method will lead to the performance of the unit decline, and even cause serious accidents.





2. When carrying out maintenance on the generator set, care should be taken to prevent the cotton yarn from being caught in the rotating parts, and the protective net is no exception.

3. Gas pipelines, valves, flanges, joints, etc., should be inspected regularly. There should be no gas leakage or damage. There should be no accumulation around the valve that interferes with the operation of the valve. The valve should be opened and closed regularly for maintenance. If the valve is unable to open or close, it should be repaired or replaced in time.

4. The hose on the gas pipeline should be replaced regularly. It is strictly prohibited to use expired and aging rubber hose. In particular, the rubber pipe connected with the supercharger (specific to individual models), such as aging will cause gas leakage, which will lead to fire explosion and other serious accidents.

5. Regularly check the cable connections for tightness or insulation.

6. When operating, maintaining and repairing the gas gen sets and gas pipelines, the gas source must be reliably cut off and the internal gas should be blown clean. No gas supply shall be restored to the gas facility until the cause of the accident is ascertained and necessary safety measures are taken. When performing maintenance and overhaul, explosion-proof measures or explosion-proof tools shall be taken. It is strictly forbidden to use tapping tools such as irons.

7. The emergency repair of gas leakage should be carried out after reducing the gas pressure or cutting off the gas source. When the leakage place has been burned, the measures should be taken to control the fire and then reduce the pressure or cut off the gas source. Negative pressure in the pipeline is strictly prohibited.

8. It is strictly forbidden to use electric welding on gas generating set to avoid the spark ablation alloy layer caused by the bearing bush gap. In special cases where welding must be used, the ground wire should be connected to the welded parts, and the ground wire must be connected before the bearing bush to ensure that the current does not pass through the bearing pad.
9. When the engine is in normal working condition or when the temperature of the body and cylinder head is high, cold water is strictly prohibited. Otherwise, the body and the cylinder head will crack under the sharp change in temperature, causing serious accidents, and make the body, cylinder head scrapped.

10. Due to the influence of environmental and interference signals, sometimes unit false alarm and shutdown will appear. The operating personnel must not remove the protection device casually, otherwise, engine racing will occur, causing malignant accidents such as pull shaft, top cylinder, broken rocker arm, broken connecting rod, broken piston, broken cylinder, and broken body.

11. Electric butterfly valve (or solenoid valve) damage should be timely repaired and replaced, can not be tied! Otherwise, it will also cause engine racing, resulting in malignant accidents.

12. All seal parts are strictly forbidden to be opened during use.

13. The fusible and explosive diaphragm of each explosion-proof device must be used in accordance with the technical design requirements, and materials shall not be replaced or thickened at will.

14. It is strictly forbidden to dismantle and unload the parts of the gas generator set. When it is necessary to disassemble the inspect, you should carefully read the instructions of relevant parts, understand and master its internal structure and working principle, clarify the disassembly, inspection, assembly procedures and related technical requirements and precautions, and carefully operate according to the specified procedures and requirements. Parts that have an impact on various technical parameters (such as valve clearance, ignition advance angle, etc.) must be re-inspected and adjusted after disassembly.

15. Electronic governor, generator voltage regulator, monitor and other components have been adjusted by the technical service personnel of the factory. Unless new parts are replaced, the user shall not change the parameter settings at will.

16. When the gas genset is not in use for long time, it shall be sealed up. Before the new machine exceeds the storage period or is re-enabled after long-term storage, a comprehensive inspection must be carried out. Usually, open the cylinder head, check the internal condition of the cylinder liner, move the turbocharger turbine, check the turbine rotation, and carry out the insulation inspection to the generator, etc. If there are obvious corrosion, moisture and other abnormal conditions, must be completely dismantled, it can be used after the treatment is completed and maintenance is qualified.

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 ...
