Maintaining Diesel Generator Set After Long Time Storage


After purchasing the diesel generator set, users should pat attention to safety when using it. Especially when the generator set is just stopped, do not unscrew the radiator cover to fill or replace the coolant. Otherwise, the high temperature cooling water will cause serious burns. The genset is shut down and the diesel engine is completely cooled. The operation and precautions of the diesel generator set after shutdown are explained in detail below.

1. Shutdown operation of diesel generator sets

Receive a signal to ready to disassemble and perform a deceleration unloading. After unpacking, the machine gradually slowdown and cool down, and listen to the machine for any noise and determine its location and cause to stop.

2. The fuel pump is turned off normally (in special causes, faulty or emergency stop can be used), and the external circulation pump is turned off.

3. Brakes must be carried out when parking for more than 1 hour.

4. After parking, perform genset maintenance according to the operation, keep the equipment in good condition and clean.

5. Conduct a comprehensive inspection of each operating part of the diesel engine at least once a week, and find that the problem should be dealt with in a timely manner.

Precautions for diesel generator set shutdown

1. On-duty personnel must stick to their posts, do their jobs, and be diligent and strictly abide by the operating procedures.

2. The duty officer should carefully fill in the shift record. For the problems in the operation of the genset, it is necessary to deal with the shift, and make a written explanation of the next shift in detail, and report the key issues to the leader in a timely manner.

3. After the tools used are used up, you need to check the positioning and find out where to go for lost tools and parts.

4, smoking is prohibited in the main room, the workplace is kept hygienic, and measures are taken to eliminate noise.

Short-term shutdown maintenance method for diesel generator sets

If the diesel generator set needs to be deactivated for a period of time (1 to 3 month), it is necessary to do the cleaning work and the necessary oil seal measures to prevent rust.

I Before storage

1. Clean the surface of the diesel generator set, check for no visible dirt, oil, rust water, etc., then blow dry with compressed air, use a brush to evenly apply the anti-rust oil to the machines surface of all diesel generator metal surfaces (That is, the unfinished machined surface), note that the surface of rubber parts, plastic parts and fabric parts is not allowed to be coated with anti-rust oil.

Note:The surface of the accessory drive pulley must be protected against rust.

II during storage

Charge the battery every month. Check the battery level, add as needed, and then charge. Use the turning tool to move the crankshaft 3-4 times a month.

III Used after unpacking

When enabled, remove the fuel injection pump, send it to the designated service station for adjustment. Remove the cover and the wrapping, install the fuel injection pump to pump the fuel to the fuel system. Connect the battery cable and tension the drive belt, check the level of lubricant and coolant, add a proper amount of cleaning oil to the booster inlet. Use the turning tool to turn the crankshaft 3-5 turns first. Then start the diesel generator set in the corect way.

How to properly maintain the diesel generator set for long term shutdown?

If the diesel generator set is deactivated for more than 3 months, it needs to be sealed. The precautions are as follows:

1. After the last diesel generator set is used, the diesel generator oil is exhausted in the hot state, including the oil in the oil filter. Since the coolant has an anti-rust function, it does not need to be discharged. Add the qualified storage oil of the specified capacity to the crankcase, start the diesel generaotr st to idle speed, stop the operation for 1-1.5 minutes, and then release the sealing oil from the oil pan. The engine internal seal oil is dehydrated CF grade 15W/40 lubricant.

2. The external surface of the diesel generator set is cleaned against rust and other storage. Refer to the diesel generator set short-term outage maintenance method before the storage, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and the diesel generator set is affixed with a label on the label. The diesel engine of the diesel generator set has no oil and should not be used.

I During storage

Charge the battery every month. Check the battery level, add as needed, and then charge. Use the turning tool to move the crankshaft 3-4 times a month.

II Used after unpacking
Remove the diesel generator cover and remove the sealing material of each nozzle, when it is activated, remove the fuel injection pump and send it to the designed service station for adjustment, install the fuel injection pump to pump the fuel to the fuel system. Connect the battery continuously, tension the drive belt, then add the oil and add the right amount of cleaning oil to the booster inlet. Then start the diesel generator set in the correct way. If it is more than 2 years old, the coolant must be replaced and the cooling system cleaned.

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 ...
