How to Stop Diesel Generator Sets Normally?

Starlight Power tell you how to stop the diesel generator set normally.

1. Gradually remove the load, and put all the electrical switches on the stop position, and all the adjustment knobs shall be reset to the corresponding position of stop.

2. After unloading, gradually reduce the speed of the diesel engine to 600r / min, and stop the engine according to the requirements of the instructions for use of the diesel engine. After shutdown, the feed pump shall be started to work for no more than two minutes, so as to supplement lubricating oil and heat dissipation in the high temperature area of the diesel engine.

3. For diesel genset with generator excitation switch, turn the excitation switch to the off position first after unloading, and then reduce the speed of the unit.

4. When the ambient temperature is lower than 5 ℃, the accumulated water in the water tank, water pump and diesel engine cooling system shall be completely drained after shutdown to prevent freezing. Adding antifreeze to cooling water is not subject to this limit. When the ambient temperature is lower than the engine oil freezing point, the engine oil should also be drained.

5. Clean the whole machine and prepare for the next start.

Guides to Clean VOLVO Diesel Generator Cooling System

VOLVO Engine Cooling System Volvo engine's internal cooling system makes sure the engine works at the right temperature. It is a closed system that must always be filled with a mixture of concentrated coolant and water in order to protect the engine against internal corrosion, cavitation and bursting due to freezing. Coolant of a suitable chemical composition must be used all year round. This also applies in areas where there is never any risk of freezing, to provide the engine of  diesel generator set   with full corrosion protection. The use of anti-corrosion agents alone is not permitted in Volvo Penta engines. Never use water alone as a substitute for coolant. The corrosion protection additives become less effective over time, which means that the coolant must be changed at regular intervals; refer to Maintenance Schedule. The cooling system must be flushed whenever the coolant is changed; Volvo Penta coolants have been prepared to work best ...
