How to design fuel system of diesel genset installation room

The fuel supply system consists of fuel storage system, fuel delivery system and fuel filter system. Today Starlight generator set manufacturer analyze: diesel generator set fuel system diagram.

A.Fuel storage tank (main tank)

The main tank is a large tank for storing fuel. Fuel is delivered from the main tank to a smaller auxiliary tank or directly to the engine.

The fuel tank must meet the following requirements:

1. Use low carbon steel or black iron material. Avoid galvanized joints, pipes and tanks.

2. The fuel tank can be installed above or below the ground, but the highest oil level should not exceed the height of the engine injector. This avoids the possibility of fuel leaking into the cylinder.

3. Make sure that water and sediment are regularly drained from the bottom of the tank.

4. For the oil tank installed under the ground, the water can be discharged from the bottom of the oil tank regularly by water pump.

5. The tank vent releases the air pressure due to refueling and prevents vacuum during fuel consumption.

B.Auxiliary tank (or daily tank)

The auxiliary tank needs to be added in the following cases

1. The main fuel tank is placed more than 3.7m below the engine fuel pump

2. The main fuel tank is placed more than 15m away from the engine

3. The height of the main fuel tank exceeds the height of the engine fuel injector

C.Fuel pipe

1. The material of fuel pipe should be black iron. However, the small oil pipe with diameter less than 13mm can be replaced by copper pipe. Valves and fittings can be cast iron or bronze. Do not use brass (because it contains zinc)

2. The oil pipe should be installed far away from heat sources (such as exhaust manifold and turbocharger) to avoid fuel overheating and potential danger. The maximum temperature entering the engine fuel nozzle should not exceed 66 ° C. every 6 ° C above this temperature value will reduce the power by 1%

3. Valves should not be used in the fuel return line to avoid damage to the fuel filter. The return line should go into the top of the tank.

4. Soft connection should be used between engine, fuel pipe and fuel tank to isolate vibration.

5. The diameter of oil inlet and return pipes shall not be less than the corresponding interface size on the engine.

6. The installation position of the auxiliary oil tank should make the maximum oil level of the fuel tank lower than the height of the engine fuel nozzle, so as to avoid the possibility of fuel leakage to the cylinder during shutdown.

7. The external pressure of engine fuel return outlet should not exceed 27kpa.

D. Oil tank of generator set base

The standard configuration of the generator set with power less than 440kw can provide 8 hours of full load operation of the unit. It is located under the base of the generator set and has been installed in complete set.

E. Fuel tank ground

In order to improve the safety of personnel and prevent the fire caused by internal electrostatic spark during refueling, both the main oil tank and the auxiliary oil tank must be grounded. The base oil tank and generator set can be grounded at the same time.

We are not only provide technical support, but also provide diesel generating sets, we have our own factories: one for producing our own brand alternator Starlight, one for producing diesel generator set. Our generator power range is from 20kw to 3000kw, covering Cummins, Volvo, Perkins, Deutz, Yuchai, Shangchai, Ricardo, Weichai, Doosan etc. Welcome to contact us by email sales@dieselgeneratortech.com.

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 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 ...
