Information of Fuel System of Diesel Generator Set

Matters needing attention for fuel oil use of diesel generator set. The diesel generator fuel system should supply clean fuel to the engine continuously. Most installations have a daily tank, a large tank and pump and associated systems. The installation of separate fuel tanks for fixed generator sets should conform to local specifications. No smoking, no sparks or flames in the vicinity of fuel. Volatile fuel and oil can explode. Daily fuel tank Daily fuel tanks directly feed the generator and should therefore be placed in the generator room. The steel chassis of the minicomputer is equipped with a steel or plastic cylinder with fuel pipe connection to the diesel engine. This kind of bottom tank can provide diesel engine with a minimum of 8 hours full load operation. Or if equipped with super large bottom tank can run for about 24 hours. Large oil storage tank: in order to extend the running life of the genset, a split large cylinder is required, especially...

Importance of Engine Lubricant in Diesel Generator

The diesel engine in the diesel generator set will produce friction in the course of working. These friction will not only consume the work of the diesel generator set but also produce a lot of heat. It is easy to cause the failure of the diesel generator set and affect the normal operation of the generator set. The following are detailed introduction of  diesel lubricating oil  under the specific role. 1. lubrication function As long as the engine of the generator set is operated, the internal parts will produce friction. The faster the speed is, the more intense the friction will be. For example, in the piston part, the temperature can be as high as more than 200 degrees Celsius. If there is no oil in the diesel generator, the temperature will be high enough to burn the whole engine. The first function of oil is to use oil film to cover the internal metal surface of the engine to reduce friction between metals. 2. Thermolysis Besides the cooling system, t...

Guides To Change Lubricating Oil And Oil Filter

Guides  To Change Lubricating Oil And Oil Filter Below is the detailed information of changing lubricating oil and oil filter for Shangchai W series diesel engines. The content includes steps to change lubricating oil and oil filter, changing fuel filter, priming fuel system and general knowledge of water separatior. I. Changing Lubricating Oil And Oil Filter Warning: Be careful when  changing lubricating oil  and oil filter because skin contact with the hot oil or hot engine surface can cause scald. (1) Don't stop the engine until the temperature of the coolant reaches 60℃, then remove the oil drain plug. scrap the washer and drain the oil. Caution: Do not drain lube oil when the engine is in cold state at which foreign particles has deposited and attached to the bottom of the oil pan, and will not drain with the oil. When the lube oil is warm, foreign particles suspend in it and can easily...

Guide to Clean Diesel Generator Set

How to clean oil of diesel generator set? There is also a class of unsaponifiable oils that do not work with strong bases such as various mineral oils, lubricating oils, petrolatum and paraffin. They are insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. There are two ways of cleaning, manual and mechanical. I Cleaning Fluid 1. Organic solvents See kerosene, light diesel, gasoline, alcohol and trichloroethylene. Organic solvent degreasing is based on dissolving dirt. It has no damage to metal, can dissolve all kinds of grease, does not need heating, is easy to use, and has good cleaning effect. However, organic solvents are mostly flammable and costly, and are mainly suitable for small-scale units and decentralized maintenance work. 2. Alkaline solvent It is an aqueous solution of an alkali or a basic salt. The alkaline solution is chemically reacted with the saponifiable oil on the surface of the part to form a water-soluble soap and glycerin whic...
