Maintenance of prime diesel generator

 It’s important to get a qualified engineer to look after your diesel generators. However there are some things that you can do to reduce the chance of problems when you need your diesel gen set to work.

 Here a few self-help ideas.

 

Regular Start-Ups

Implement a monthly generator test schedule.  It will enable you to test for generator faults and make sure that systems and people are all ready to to their jobs. Check the battery and replace it if there are any signs of deterioration.

 


Filters

The fuel and lubricating oil filters in your generator will degrade whether or not it has been running.  So make sure that they are changed in line with maintenance schedules at the minimum or more frequently if the operating environment demands it.


Check Fuel Quality

It’s easy for moisture to build up in the fuel tank of your generator and that can cause algae growth.  You can buy algae inhibitors to stop the build-up from affecting the performance of your generator.

 

If greater quantities of water get into the fuel tank then you may need to get a specialist fuel polishing company to pump out the fuel and clean it.  Always check the tank for the sources of water infiltration before adding the fuel back.

 

Supplier Check

Make sure you have good relationships with suppliers of fuel, consumables and maintenance services, and the right contracts for your requirements.

 

If there is a problem you might not want to rely on good will to get fuel supplies on the night of a long holiday in the winter.

Hope above information is helpful for you during the use of diesel generator sets. Starlight Power also provides good quality diesel generator, such as open type genset, silent genset, trailer mobile genset, container generator.

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 ...
