Maintenance Method of Diesel Generator Set Radiator



Radiator is very important for a diesel generator set. It is used for heat dissipation. In most cases, it will affect the normal operation of the genset without a proper maintenance or incorrect use of radiator.

1. Usually, corrosion is the main cause for radiator failure. In the process of using, the air in the water will accelerate the corrosion process. Therefore, doing a regular maintenance for the pipe joint is quite necessary to avoid leaking. Meanwhile, do not forget to regularly add water to drain air from the top of the radiator.

Attention: Radiators should not be partially injected with water, which will speed up corrosion. For non-working generating sets, water should be completely removed or fully filled. If possible, please use distilled water or natural soft water and add appropriate amount of antirust agent.

2. Coolant of the working radiator is usually very hot and with pressure, you are not allowed to tidy the radiator or dismantle the pipes before cooling; do not work on the radiator or open the protection cover while the fan is till rotating.


3. Outside cleaning: In a dusty or polluted environment, the gap of the radiator may be jammed by fragments or insects, which will affect the efficiency of the radiator. Regular cleaning of these light deposits can be done with low pressure hot water and detergent. Spray steam or water from the front of the radiator to the fan. It is from the opposite direction, the dirt will be blow into the center. When using this method, diesel engine and AC generator should be covered with cloth. For stubborn sediments, removal can not be done by  up-mentioned method. Please disassemble the radiator and soak it in the hot alkaline water for about 20 minutes, then wash it with hot water.


Like defense construction, communication center, broadcasting station, and commercial buildings should be equipped with standby silent diesel generator. This kind of facility can be supplied by electricity grid. However, due to earthquake, typhoon, war and other natural disasters or man-made factors, after the power cut because of the destruction of the municipal power grid, the standby generator that have been set up will start quickly to ensure continuous power supply to the these important projects. Usually, this type stand-by generating set also belongs to common type of genset.

Technical Parameters of Boduan 500KW Weichai Generator Set 6M33D572E200

  The 6M33D633E200 diesel engine is a special-purpose diesel engine for land-based power generation in the M33 series. It is a new-structure power generation diesel engine with a centrally - located turbocharger developed by Weichai Power Co., Ltd. in 2016. Continuous Power (COP): The maximum power at which the diesel engine can run continuously under a constant load with no limit on the annual operating hours. It is the ISO standard power. Prime Power (PRP): The maximum power at which the diesel engine can run continuously under variable loads with no limit on the annual operating hours. It is an ISO standard power that allows a 10% overload. Standby Power (ESP): The maximum power in a certain variable - power series that the diesel engine can operate for up to 200 hours per year. It is an ISO standard power with limited fuel consumption.   Operating Conditions and Applications of Baudouin  500KW Weichai Generator Set  Diesel Engine Power Classification Operating Co...

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 ...
