In generally, it is no problem to let diesel generator set idle no more than 10 minutes. If idling for a long time, will cause diesel engine damage. In this article, we mainly talk about idling of Perkins generator. 1.What is diesel generator set idling? Idle state, that means diesel generator set work without any load. That is to say, under this working condition, the generating set does not need to bear load, as long as it keeps the low speed required for smooth operation. 2. Why can not let Perkins diesel generator set idle for a long time? A. If Perkins diesel generator set idles for a long time, it will also reduce the quality of fuel injection atomization, accelerate early wear of cylinder wall. Because the quality of atomization is directly related to the injection pressure, injector aperture and camshaft speed of Perkins diesel generator set. Because the injector aperture remains unchanged, the quality of fuel atomization depends on the ...
