How to Buy a Used Diesel Generator Set



Buying a new diesel generator set requires only a good brand and manufacturer. Generally, there is no problem, but some customers will purchase a second-hand diesel generator set as a backup power source for the purpose of saving production costs. Be more careful when you choose. When purchasing a second-hand diesel generator set, you should pay attention to these aspects:







Some customers tend to consider buying diesel generator sets in order to save costs. There are many places to identify when purchasing a second-hand diesel generator set. If you are not an expert, it is difficult to buy a second-hand unit with practical value. So what issues should you pay attention to when buying a second-hand generator set?

1. Need to know the purchase time, use and reasons for the sale of used diesel generator sets, ask about the past maintenance situation, change the important parts, ask what problems in the use, in order to have a more comprehensive system of second-hand diesel generator sets.

2. Visual inspections identify the new second-hand use of used diesel generator sets from signs and appearances. Look at the factory where the generator set is produced, when it leaves the factory, how long it is from now; see if the paint on the outside is falling off, whether the part is missing, whether the model is eliminated or not.

3. Replace the bearings and bushings, this is to ensure that these places do not cause any damage, the bearings and bushings are operated by the coercive generator, which is difficult to test, so from a safety point of view, the replacement of bearings and bushings is the most Good course of action.

4. Inspect the complete weld, inspect the electrical components and the complete winding, complete the wire insulation breakdown test to ensure that the generator set can be used normally.

5. Test machine. By carefully cranking the crankshaft, pulling the flywheel, starting the machine, etc., the second-hand diesel generator set is carefully examined. Consult your Starlight Technology Consultant for specific inspection methods.

Method of identifying New and Old Diesel Generator sets

The diesel generator set is a convenient power generation equipment. It mainly uses the "diesel engine" as the prime mover to drive the generator to generate power. Therefore, the diesel engine is an extremely important part of the whole set of units. It is extremely important for users to identify the advantages and disadvantages of the diesel engine when purchasing the unit. According to the years of industry experience of Starlight, to identify the new and old degree of diesel generator diesel engine, you can take the question, see, test method

1. Ask question

Inquire about the purchase time, use and reason of the diesel engine, repair and replacement of major components, and what problems have occurred during use to obtain a more comprehensive understanding of the genset.

2. Check

First of all, look at whether the model is a eliminated model, and then look at the new and old degree of the diesel engine from the outside, and finally check whether the parts are complete, with or without damage.

3. That is, the test machine, this link is more important, the specific steps are as follows:

A. Shake the crankshaft to make the fuel injection pump supply oil. For example, the injector emits a crisp sounding sound, indicating that the plunger pair and the injector have good performance; if there is no abnormal sound in the gear chamber, the gear wear is not serious.

B. The cylinder is decompressed and the crankshaft is cranked. When the decompression is removed, if the rebound force of the piston is large, the flywheel rotates rapidly, indicating that the degree of wear of the cylinder liner, the piston and the piston ring is small. At this time, the oil pressure gauge reading should be no less than 1 or the oil pressure indicates that the red buoy can rise quickly, and the hand pressure buoy should be laborious.

C. If the flywheel is shaken up and down, if there is no sound, no obvious shaking, it means that the gap between the main shaft of the crankshaft and the bearing bush is not large; if the flywheel is turned, if there is no click, it means that the wear between the crankshaft connecting rod journal and the connecting rod is not serious.

D. Starting the diesel generator set is relatively easy, the exhaust gas is colorless or light gray, the speed is stable, and there is no noise, which indicates that the diesel engine technology of the unit is in good condition.

Cummins generator set renovation old machine recognition tips

Each brand of the generator set has a refurbished old machine, which is difficult for the professionals to distinguish. The identification method is the same as the deck fake machine introduced earlier. But with some exceptions, there is no need to identify at all. For example, some manufacturers in Guangdong imported Cummins' old machines from India, because there are also Cummins factories in India. These unscrupulous manufacturers claim to be imported Cummins diesel engines and can also provide customs certification.

In fact, Cummins has two joint ventures in China: Xiangfan Dongfeng Cummins and Chongqing Cummins, so it has a trade protection agreement. Cummins has designated sales areas in factories around the world. Conflicts are forbidden. All imported Cummins engines cannot be new machines. Unless they are smuggled, there will be no customs certification for smuggling.

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 ...
