Why Speed of Diesel Generator Set Is Not Well-Distributed



Why Speed of Diesel Generator Set Is Not Well-Distributed


The uneven speed of diesel generator set is mostly caused by the abnormal resistance of the parts of the injection pump and governor and the slow response of the governor. Generally, there are two kinds of performance. One is a large swing, the voice is clearly identifiable, commonly known as gasp or tour car. The other is that the speed fluctuates in a small range, the sound is not easy to appear at low speed, which will lead to the diesel engine flameout. The following are eight reason for the uneven speed of diesel generator sets.




When the wear gap at the joints of the governor increases, the movement parts such as steel ball or air hammer are blocked and the speed regulating spring fails, then the governor must overcome the resistance or eliminate the clearance first before the governor can move to adjust the increase or decrease of the fuel supply of the tooth rod or the fork pull rod. As the speed regulation is not in time, speed fluctuates high and low. For 135 or 105 type of combined fuel injection pump, it can be seen that the regulating rod moves repeatedly regularly by opening the side cover of the fuel injection pump. If the diesel engine swims slightly, then you can see the pull rod will jitter.



Importance of reasonable rotational speed range of diesel generator set.



It is important for diesel generator to maintain a reasonable working speed range. The reason is that it can reduce wear and tear effectively, and extend the service life or the genset. Especially when the diesel generator set starts, the crankshaft speed is low, the oil supply of the genst oil pump is not timely, and the oil temperature is low, the oil viscosity is high, the friction surface is difficult to establish liquid lubrication, so the wear is very serious.



The friction of diesel generator increases with the increase of speed and load. As the load increases, the unit pressure on the friction surface increases and the thermal condition is poor. With the increase of rotational speed, the number of friction times per unit time is half plus, and at the same power, the increase of rotational speed is larger than the wear when load is increased. However, too low rotational speed can not guarantee good liquid lubrication conditions, also increase wear.





In addition, when diesel generator sets work unsteadily, such as acceleration, deceleration, stopping and starting, the lubricating condition of diesel generator sets is poor, the thermal state is unstable, and the wear will increase due to the frequent changes of rotational speed and load. Generally speaking, there are two kinds of rotating speed of normal generator sets. One is 1500 rpm, the other is 1800 rpm. It is wrong to artificially turn down or raise the speed of the generator.


Adjusting skill of speed controller before and after starting of diesel engine. In order to understand the adjustment of engine speed controller before and after starting, we must first understand how the speed controller works.

Adjustment before starting diesel engine


Observe a potentiometer that regulates gain and stability. In a general case factory set at 12:00 position (that is middle position red dial code open). The controller has already been set up when it is out of the factory, so it is not necessary to adjust the controller before starting the diesel engine, and the user only needs to start the diesel engine to make fine adjustment.



Adjustment of controller after starting



The actuator should supply the maximum amount of fuel until the diesel engine starts, and the controller should be controlled in the idle position. If the engine is unstable after starting, adjust the gain and stability potentiometer counterclockwise until the engine is stable.



The external high/low speed switch is disconnected and the diesel engine enters the rated speed. Adjust the rated speed potentiometer or the external micro=adjustable potentiometer to adjust the forehead fixed speed precisely. The clockwise rotation frequency of the rated speed setting point is increased.



After starting, the following adjustments are made when the diesel engine s no longer loaded.



Rotate the gain potentiometer clockwise until it is unstable, then fine tune it counterclockwise until the system is stable, and then progress counterclockwise to adjust a portion of the nozzle to ensure stability.



Rotate the stability potentiometer clockwise until instability occurs, then adjust counterclockwise to stability, and then further fine-tune part of the counter-clickwise to ensure that the engine rotates steadily.



After the adjustment of gain and stability, the rated speed is adjusted by trimming potentiometer to meet the design requirements of the generator set.



If the engine needs to introduce idle operation, the high/low speed switch is closed, and then adjust the speed of the potentiometer to the required speed, and adjust clockwise to increase the frequency (usually 50% of the rated speed).



If the diesel engine can not be stabilized by the above adjustment, it is necessary to adjust the dial up switch at this time, as follows, the gain and stability potentiometer are adjusted again after each trimming, until the engine is stable.

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 ...
