Maintenance Problems of Diesel Generators


When you use diesel generator, do you meet some problems about maintenance? If so, please read this article with your patience.

Regular overhaul is an important measure to ensure the safe operation of equipment. It is an effective means to restore the technical performance of equipment, eliminate failure and eliminate hidden troubles, and prolong the service life of equipment.

1.Problems in equipment maintenance methods
Some users can not judge correctly in equipment maintenance and analyze the faults, blindly disassembly is a common problems;


Because some maintenance personnel are not clear about the mechanical structure and principle of the equipment, they do not carefully analyze the causes of the failure, can not accurately judge the fault location, and blindly dismantle the equipment with the idea of "approximate, similar". As a result, not only the original fault has not been eliminated, but also because of poor maintenance skills and technology, new problems have arisen.
Therefore, when the machine fails, it should be tested by the testing equipment; if there is no testing equipment, it can be determined by traditional fault judgment methods, such as "ask, look, check, test", combining with the structure and working principle of the equipment, to determine the most likely fault location.
In judging equipment failure, the "exclusion method" and "comparison method" are commonly used, in accordance with the sequence from simple to complex, first appearance then internal, then assembly and components, to avoid "ignoring the red and white, blindly dismantling large-scale disassembly".

2.The phenomenon of blindly replacing spare parts and blindly replacing parts and repairing them exists to varying degrees.

It is relatively difficult to judge and eliminate equipment failure. Some maintenance personnel always adopt the method of replacement test, no matter large or small parts, as long as they think it may lead to failure of parts and components, one by one replacement test. The result is not only that the failure has not been eliminated, but also that the parts that should not be replaced are replaced at will, which increases the maintenance cost. Some faulty parts can be repaired to restore their technical performance, such as generators, air compressors, blowers, burners, gear pumps and other faults, which can be repaired without complex repair technology. In maintenance, we should carefully analyze and judge the causes and locations of the faults according to the phenomena of the faults, and adopt repair methods to restore the technical performance of the repairable parts, so as to prevent blindly replacing the parts.
3.Parts are not thoroughly cleaned and decontaminated. Early damage and corrosion often occur.
When repairing equipment, it is great significance to remove oil and impurities on the surface of spare parts correctly to improve the repair quality and prolong the service life of machinery. Failure to strengthen the cleaning of parts, unreasonable selection of cleaning agents and improper cleaning methods will lead to early wear and corrosive damage of parts. If the impurities in bolt holes and sand grains in hydraulic components are not thoroughly removed, the bolt will be damaged.

When we maintain diesel power generator, we must pay attentions to avoid above problems, otherwise, maybe loss too much cost.

Yuchai Is Super Confident in Its Innovation

Founded in 1951, with 30 wholly-owned, holding and joint-stock subsidiaries, Guangxi Yuchai Machinery Group Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as the Yuchai Group) is an internal combustion engine manufacturing base with the most complete spectrum of products in the country. In recent years, machinery manufacturing industry has been dropped off influenced by domestic and foreign economic situations, especially domestic overcapacity and unreasonable product structure. Reversely, Yuchai has sold over 3 million engines with the annualized revenues amount to RMB 40 billion. Over the years, as China ’ s largest engine R&D manufacturing base, Yuchai adjusts and optimizes its industrial structure and constantly strengthens its capacity for independent innovation. Therefore, the key technology continues to be the top in the sector for further keeping its own top leader in the industry. Innovation-Driven In 2013, seven world-class diesel-engine products for high-s...

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 ...
