What Causes Cylinder Head of Cummins Generator Cracking?


Cause of cylinder head cracking of Cummins diesel generator set

In winter, the temperature is low, Cummins generator cylinder head is very easy to break, so the following methods hope to help you!

What causes cylinder head of Cummins diesel generator cranking?

1.Add cooling water after starting.
After the diesel engine is started, the temperature in Cummins generator rises immediately. If cooling water is used at this time, the cylinder block and cylinder head will be cooled rapidly, and cracks will occur due to cold shrinkage.
2.After shutdown, cooling water was not discharged. The water in the machine freezes into ice, the volume increases, and the cylinder block and cylinder head crack.
3.During the operation of the generator set, if the cooling water is short or the temperature of the boiler opening machine in the water tank is too high, the cooling water will be used. Excessive cold shrinkage of the cylinder block and cylinder head can also cause cracking.
4.When the generator is operated for a long time, the temperature inside the generator is high, and the hot water will be discharged immediately after parking. It will cause the high-temperature parts to crack when encountering cold air.
5.Use the pressure reducer to shut down, so that the high temperature cylinder head suddenly meets the extremely cold air and causes cracking.

There are some ways to avoid cracking of various cylinder bodies and cylinder heads.

1.Before starting Cummins generator, the water tank shall be used for warm water. Hot water shall be filled for 2-3 times in severe winter. It is better to start when the water flowing out of the drain valve is about 30-50 ℃.

2.When Cummins generator operates for a long time, wait for about half an hour after shutdown, and drain cooling water when the temperature drops to 40 ~ 50 ℃. After draining, it is better to use fine wire to poke through the drain valve switch to avoid sediment blocking the drain valve.
3.When Cummins diesel generator operation is overheated and seriously short of water, let Cummins diesel engine idle for 10-15 minutes at low speed, and then gradually participate in cooling water.

Hope above information is helpful to you. We also provide whole set of Cummins diesel generator set, including open type, super silent type, container type and mobile trailer type. We can supply 25kva-3125kva Cummins electric generator with CE and ISO certificates. Please contact us by our email sherly@dieselgeneratortech.com.

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 ...
