Steps to Proper Maintenance of Diesel Engine

As we know that a diesel generator is the combination of a diesel engine and a alternator (a synchronous AC generator) to generate electricity. It can be as prime power or backup power for electric power generation. Engine is as the core component of the generator. If you want to run it well, carefully maintenance is necessary. Today, we will talk about “ six steps ” method for diesel engine maintenance . 1. Running-in/Grinding-in This is the basis for prolonging service life. Both new and overhauled engines must be grinded according to the rules before they can be put into normal operation. 2. Clean fuel,  water, air and machine body Diesel is the main fuel of the engine. If the diesel oil is not pure, it will make the precise matching body wear and tear, increase the matching body clearance, cause oil leakage, oil dripping, reduce the oil supply pressure, increase the gap, even cause oil path clogging and so on main failure. If there is a lot of dust...

How to Arrange Diesel Engine Room

How to Arrange Diesel Engine Room Forced ventilation - engine compartment When a remote radiator is installed, consideration must be given to engine compartment ventilation. First of all, the exhaust system in the engine compartment must be efficiently insulated so that heat radiation is minimal. NOTICE! Because of the risk for overheating the exhaust manifold and turbocharger may not be insulated, only the exhaust pipe and silencer. The best forced ventilation systems normally comprise two electrically-driven fans. One fan forces air into the compartment and is installed on the wall directly opposite the generator end. The other fan extracts air hot air from the engine compartment. This fan must be installed on the wall next to and above the engine. An air duct is required on the inlet side if the cooling air does not reach the generator/engine. The ducting leads air to the generator and over the engine to the extraction fan. If no air ducting is installed when the inl...

Maintenance of Diesel Generator in Winter

As a emergency standby power supply after power failure, diesel generator sets are in standby state in most cases. Once the power is cut off, whether the generator set can start and supply is the key of playing as an important role during power supply. Otherwise, it will lose its meaning as a backup power source. Therefore, in order to make sure that diesel generator can be started successfully during power cut, it is necessary to maintain diesel generators in daily use. Below are some tips for users to maintain diesel generator. 1. When the generator is in operation, all screens should be locked and the key shall be kept by hand. It is especially important not to leave the key in the lock. 2. Note that insulation tools should be used to ensure circuit safety when connecting or disconnecting the circuit. 3. Check engine starting motor batteries and wiring for metal objects. Clean up immediately. 4. Once the generator has a major fault, can press the control screen...
