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.

Components of Cummins PT Fuel System

When it comes to Cummins generator, it is well known that the gensets have good quality, low fuel consumption, low noise, big output power and reliable performance. The reliable stability, economy, power performance, durability and environmental safety is welcomed by customers. In last article, we talk about CCEC Cummins diesel engines operating principles. Well, in this article, you will learn what are the major components of its PT Fuel System. Fuel System The PT fuel system is used exclusively on Cummins Diesels. The identifying letters, “ PT ” are an abbreviation for “ pressure-time ” . The operation of the Cummins PT Fuel System is based on the principle that the volume of liquid flow is proportionate to the fluid pressure, the time allowed to flow and the passage size through which the liquid flows. To apply this simple principle to the Cummins PT Fuel System , it is necessary to provide: 1. A fuel pump. 2. A means of controlling pressure of

Leroy-Somer Alternator AVR R450

1 - GENERAL INFORMATION of Leroy-Somer Alternator AVR R450 1.1 - Description The R450 AVR is supplied in a casing designed to be mounted on a panel with dampers. - Operating temperature: - 30°C to + 65°C. - Storage temperature: - 55°C to + 85°C. - Shocks on the base: 9 g depending on the 3 axes. - Vibrations: less than 10 Hz, 2 mm half-peak amplitude 10 Hz to 100 Hz: 100 mm/s, above 100 Hz: 8 g. The AVR is IP00, it must be incorporated in an environment which ensures it a IP20 protection. 1.2 - Characteristic The connection is realised by “Faston” connectors and the voltage sensing is single - phase. 2 - POWER SUPPLY Both the SHUNT/AREP & PMG excitation systems are controlled by the AVR. 2.1 - AREP excitation system With AREP excitation, the electronic AVR is powered by two auxiliary windings which are independent of the voltage sensing circuit. The first winding has a voltage proportional to the   alternator   main voltage (Shunt characteristic),
