Back up diesel generator set China supplier

 

Diesel powered generators are widely seen as the most reliable form of backup power. They are usually used in the event of problems with the grid.

From a mechanical perspective a diesel generator from well-respected brands such as Perkins, Cummins, Volvoor John Deere can run for thousands of hours without the likelihood of breakdown or the need for an overhaul. However, as we have discussed in previous blogs (cf “Check your diesel generator’s fuel” and “Basic diesel generator maintenance“) no gen set can provide long-term power security if it’s not maintained.


According to  the electrical engineering magazine, Electrical Construction & Maintenance (EC&M) the top 3 reasons why standby generators fail to automatically start are related to maintenance issues.

 

The start switch was left at Off rather than Auto.

Problems with starter batteries.

Fuel filter clogging – usually from old or water-contaminated fuel.

Ways to Maintain your Diesel Generator

Our recommendations for core maintenance checks (that don’t necessarily need an engineer call out) are as follows:

 

Regular generator starts to check for faults and identify issues like dead batteries.

Check and change fuel and oil filters if there is any sign of fluid degradation.

Check fuel quality and add algae inhibitors if there is any sign of moisture.

Keep in contact with suppliers to make sure if planned fuel deliveries or maintenance visits are in their schedules.

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 Do You Check Diesel Consumption In The Diesel Generator Set?

  Diesel generator sets   are crucial assets in various industries, providing backup power during outages or serving as primary power sources in remote locations. With fuel costs being a significant operational expense, monitoring diesel consumption becomes essential for efficiency and cost-effectiveness. Here's a comprehensive guide on how to effectively check diesel consumption in a generator set. Understanding Diesel Consumption Metrics Before delving into the monitoring process, it's crucial to grasp the key metrics associated with diesel consumption: Fuel Consumption Rate: This indicates the rate at which diesel is being consumed by the generator set, typically measured in liters per hour (L/hr) or gallons per hour (GPH). Load Factor: The percentage of the generator's maximum capacity being utilized at any given time. It directly influences fuel consumption, with higher loads resulting in increased fuel usage. Fuel Efficiency: A measure of how effectively the generator...
