Why does diesel generator suddenly shutdown

Today Starlight Power mainly tells you why diesel generator set suddenly shutdown.

The following phenomena may be the reasons of the sudden shutdown of the diesel generator set:

(1) The valve is stuck.

(2) The crankshaft is locked with the bearing bush.

(3) The main bearing cap is broken or the crankshaft is broken.

(4) The transmission shaft of high pressure oil pump is stuck.

(5) The fuel supply system has air leakage, oil leakage or some oil pipeline blockage.

(6) The front gear transmission mechanism of diesel generator is bitten.

 

So how to eliminate this kind of phenomenon? First of all, we should know a range of diesel generator set failure, and basically determine which parts or systems are faulty before disassembly. The parts that are easy to be disassembled should be started from the following four aspects:

(1) The technical inspection of the high-pressure oil pump assembly shows that there is no oil in the high-pressure oil pump and governor, and the diesel generator set is actually in dry friction during operation. In this way, it is easy to cause governor failure, make the diesel generator set "runaway", increase the mechanical wear inside the high-pressure oil pump assembly, and shorten the service life of the high-pressure oil pump assembly.

The correct maintenance method is: the diesel generating sets should be checked before each start-up to keep a certain amount of oil in the high-pressure oil pump assembly.

(2)Take down the side cover plate of the engine block and observe whether the diesel generator set is holding the bush. If no abnormality is found. Remove the diesel engine valve cover, check the valve working condition, if not found abnormal. Then the fault range can be divided into two aspects: the high-pressure oil pump drive shaft is stuck and the front-end gear transmission mechanism of diesel engine is bitten, and the removal of these two kinds of faults should start from the parts that are easy to be disassembled.

(3)After removing the high-pressure oil pump assembly, check whether the transmission shaft of the high-pressure oil pump is stuck; pry the flywheel of the diesel engine again with a flat screwdriver to observe whether the flywheel can rotate. If it is found that the flywheel of diesel engine can rotate clockwise and anticlockwise, it indicates that the fault is inside the high-pressure oil pump assembly.

(4)The high-pressure oil pump assembly was disassembled on the special test bench, and rolling key was found on the transmission shaft. After replacing the woodruff key, the oil pump assembly trouble shooting. If after assembly, adjustment and preparation, start the diesel engine for inspection, and then observe that the diesel engine speed is stable and there is no shutdown phenomenon, then the above fault is eliminated.

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 ...
