Abnormal sound and reason of generator

Today Starlight Power generator manufacturer shares the abnormal sound of diesel generator.

1. Mechanical knocking

Due to the wear of the moving parts of the diesel engine, the fit clearance is increased, and a large impact is generated during operation to generate a knocking sound. This knocking sound began to be slight and gradually became worse as the wear increased. Such knocking sounds generally occur periodically, accompanied by increased vibration of the diesel engine.

In addition, the diesel engine parts are damaged, or the installation is improperly adjusted, there is an uncoordinated phenomenon during work, and abnormal knocking sound may occur, and this kind of sound generally appears suddenly.

a. The knocking sound of main bearing

When the main bearing nut is not tightened or loose, the main bearing bush wears seriously or burns out, or the improper adjustment of the assembly will increase the clearance between the bearing bush and the neck shoulder of the main shaft bushing. When the diesel engine is working, it will have an impact effect and knocking sound.

b. The knocking sound of connecting rod bearing shell

When the connecting rod bolt is not tightened, loose or broken, the connecting rod bearing bush is badly worn or burned, which will increase the gap between the connecting rod bearing bush and the connecting rod pin. When the diesel engine is working, a large impact load is generated between the connecting rod pin and the bearing bush, and an abnormal knocking sound is emitted.

The knocking sound of the connecting rod bearing is similar to that of the main bearing, but it is lighter than that of the main bearing, and the tone is clear and a "bong" sound is emitted. When the diesel engine raises the speed or increases the load, the sound is more obvious, but it is not obvious when there is no load.

c. The knocking sound of piston pin

When the clearance between the piston pin and the connecting rod small head bushing is too large or the piston pin and the pin seat are too loose, there will be an impact effect and abnormal impact sound.

It is a very sharp, high-pitched and obvious metal knocking sound. When the speed of the diesel engine changes, especially from a high speed sudden drop to a low speed, a sharp "bong" metal impact sound can be heard from the upper position of the cylinder. When the speed is low, the sound is slow and obvious. When the speed is raised, the sound will also increase. When the temperature of the diesel engine rises, the sound will not weaken.

d. Piston ring knocking

Because the piston ring is broken; the gap between the piston ring and the ring groove is too large; or because the cylinder liner wears, the convex shoulder appears on the top of cylinder sleeve, which causes the first piston ring to collide with the cylinder sleeve shoulder. If the piston ring breaks, it will make a "Shua shua" sound; if the gap between the piston ring and the ring groove is too large, it will give out a dull hammering sound, and as the rotation speed increases, the sound will also increase, and will become a noisy sound;

e. The impact sound between valve and piston

Because the valve clearance is not adjusted correctly, the valve is stuck in the open position; or the piston connecting rod group is not installed correctly, causing the valve to collide with the top surface of the piston, emitting a heavy and uniform, rhythmic knocking sound. The diesel engine is running with load for a period of time, and the sound is louder after the temperature rises.

If the valve collides with the piston, the valve clearance should be re-adjusted and the installation position of the piston connecting rod group should be checked.

f. Valve knock

Because the valve clearance is too large; the clearance between the valve rod and the valve guide is too large; the valve is stuck; the cam wear is severe. When the diesel engine is running at a low speed, it is easier to hear continuous, rhythmic, and slightly "Tap-tap" sound. As the speed increases, so does the sound.

If the valve knocking sound is found, the valve clearance should be checked and adjusted in time.

g. The knocking sound of the valve spring

The knock is caused by the valve spring being too soft or broken. In severe cases, the valve falls and collides with the top of the piston to make a loud noise. At the same time, a large amount of black smoke is generated in the intake pipe and the exhaust pipe, causing a destructive accident of the piston and the cylinder head.

If the knocking sound of the valve spring breaking is found, the qualified spring should be replaced immediately.

Components of Cummins PT Fuel System

When it comes to Cummins generator, it is well known that the gensets have good quality, low fuel consumption, low noise, big output power and reliable performance. The reliable stability, economy, power performance, durability and environmental safety is welcomed by customers. In last article, we talk about CCEC Cummins diesel engines operating principles. Well, in this article, you will learn what are the major components of its PT Fuel System. Fuel System The PT fuel system is used exclusively on Cummins Diesels. The identifying letters, “ PT ” are an abbreviation for “ pressure-time ” . The operation of the Cummins PT Fuel System is based on the principle that the volume of liquid flow is proportionate to the fluid pressure, the time allowed to flow and the passage size through which the liquid flows. To apply this simple principle to the Cummins PT Fuel System , it is necessary to provide: 1. A fuel pump. 2. A means of controlling pressure of

Leroy-Somer Alternator AVR R450

1 - GENERAL INFORMATION of Leroy-Somer Alternator AVR R450 1.1 - Description The R450 AVR is supplied in a casing designed to be mounted on a panel with dampers. - Operating temperature: - 30°C to + 65°C. - Storage temperature: - 55°C to + 85°C. - Shocks on the base: 9 g depending on the 3 axes. - Vibrations: less than 10 Hz, 2 mm half-peak amplitude 10 Hz to 100 Hz: 100 mm/s, above 100 Hz: 8 g. The AVR is IP00, it must be incorporated in an environment which ensures it a IP20 protection. 1.2 - Characteristic The connection is realised by “Faston” connectors and the voltage sensing is single - phase. 2 - POWER SUPPLY Both the SHUNT/AREP & PMG excitation systems are controlled by the AVR. 2.1 - AREP excitation system With AREP excitation, the electronic AVR is powered by two auxiliary windings which are independent of the voltage sensing circuit. The first winding has a voltage proportional to the   alternator   main voltage (Shunt characteristic),
