Idle Speed Problem of Diesel Industrial Generators

When we use diesel generator set, maybe we meet the problem of idle speed of engine, how to solve it? Today Starlight Power generator manufacturer answers for you.

There is no idle speed during cold start, which is generally normal, because the temperature is too low, the oil viscosity is too large, the engine resistance increases, the spray and evaporation conditions of diesel oil become worse, resulting in the engine can not maintain the minimum steady speed operation, and when the throttle is lifted, it will soon flameout. In this case, the throttle can be adjusted to operate slightly higher than idle speed, and the idle operation can be resumed after the engine warms up.

If the engine of diesel industrial generators has been used for a long time, there is no idling condition, and the fuel consumption is not normal with insufficient power, it is generally due to the excessive wear of the plunger and the increase of oil leakage during idling, which makes the fuel supply unable to meet the requirements of idling condition; or the cylinder pressure is too low, and the injection advance angle is too large and too small, which causes poor combustion conditions of the engine. As long as we deal with the problem of insufficient power, the idling condition will recover naturally.

If the above conditions are normal, consider whether the idle working element of the governor is abnormal. Check whether the governor spring is broken, or the governor element is worn too much or the spring is too soft, so that the centrifugal force of the flying hammer at idle speed is far greater than the spring tension and the oil is reduced, or the maintenance personnel adjust improperly. The fuel injection pump assembly must be removed for repair and adjustment on the test bench.

When checking the governor, first adjust it by idle screw. If the adjustment is invalid, adjust the pre tension of idle spring. The idle speed spring adjusting nut can be slightly screwed in or the spring seat can be padded to increase the preload and raise the idle speed. If the spring is broken, it should be replaced and then adjusted to restore the idle working performance.

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 Do You Check Diesel Consumption In The Diesel Generator Set?

  Diesel generator sets   are crucial assets in various industries, providing backup power during outages or serving as primary power sources in remote locations. With fuel costs being a significant operational expense, monitoring diesel consumption becomes essential for efficiency and cost-effectiveness. Here's a comprehensive guide on how to effectively check diesel consumption in a generator set. Understanding Diesel Consumption Metrics Before delving into the monitoring process, it's crucial to grasp the key metrics associated with diesel consumption: Fuel Consumption Rate: This indicates the rate at which diesel is being consumed by the generator set, typically measured in liters per hour (L/hr) or gallons per hour (GPH). Load Factor: The percentage of the generator's maximum capacity being utilized at any given time. It directly influences fuel consumption, with higher loads resulting in increased fuel usage. Fuel Efficiency: A measure of how effectively the generator...
