The reasons of excessive oil consumption of generator set


When the oil consumption of diesel generator set is too large, some abnormal phenomena will appear. Through these abnormal phenomena, the user can judge whether the oil consumption of the generator set is large.

1. There is metal friction sound in supercharger of diesel generator set.

The radial and axial runout of the turbine rotor assembly is too large, and the blades of the turbine and impeller rub with the turbine shell and impeller shell, resulting in metal friction sound. When the turbocharger works normally, due to the high-speed rotation of the turbine rotor, there will also be a rotating sound. If the inlet and exhaust ports are not connected properly, the sound of air leakage will be generated. In practice, we should pay attention to the differential judgment.

2. The exhaust smoke is blue, but the power is not reduced.

This is caused by the oil entering the combustion chamber from the turbocharger and the intake pipe of the diesel engine. It may be that the oil return pipe of the supercharger is blocked, and the oil flows into the impeller along the rotor shaft after the oil is accumulated too much at the middle support of the rotor assembly; or it may be that after the sealing ring or oil slinger ring at one end of the impeller is damaged, the oil enters the impeller chamber and enters the combustion chamber with the pressurized air through the air inlet pipe for secondary combustion. Open the compressor outlet or diesel engine intake straight pipe (rubber hose) to see if there is oil adhered to the pipe orifice and pipe wall. If there is oil, check whether the oil return pipe of diesel generator set is smooth. If it is not smooth, the fault is caused by excessive oil accumulation at the middle support, and the oil return pipe should be dredged and reassembled; if it is unblocked, the fault is caused by the damage of the sealing ring or oil slinger ring at one end of the impeller.

3. The color of exhaust smoke is normal and the power does not decrease.

This situation is generally caused by oil leakage. It is necessary to check whether there is oil leakage from the external oil pipes (including the inlet and return pipes of supercharger) of generator set. If there is no oil leakage, disassemble and check the exhaust gas outlet of turbocharger. If there is oil trace, replace the sealing ring near the turbine end.

4. The exhaust pipe of generating set emits blue smoke or black smoke and the power is reduced.

The first reason is that the clearance between the piston group and the cylinder is too large, and the oil flows into the combustion chamber for combustion; the second is that during the process of air intake by the supercharger, the air flow encounters great resistance, and the pressure at the compressor inlet is too low, and the oil enters the combustion chamber together with the compressed air through the compressor. At the same time, due to the lack of air into the combustion chamber and incomplete combustion, the exhaust pipe emits black smoke. Check the intake pipe. If there is oil in the pipe orifice and pipe wall, the air filter is blocked. Otherwise, the air flow is blocked in the intake pipe or other places.

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 ...
