Cummins Engine no idle speed


The engine has no idle speed. Generally, the throttle is turned off when it is placed at the idle position. When the throttle is slightly enlarged, the speed is increased quickly and cannot be stably operated at a low speed.

Reason

a. The governor idle spring is too soft or broken.

b. The governor sensing element is worn too much.

c. The plunger of the fuel injection pump is seriously worn.

d. The temperature is too low.

e. The cylinder pressure is too low.

Diagnosis and treatment

a. There is no idle speed at cold start, which is generally a normal phenomenon. This is because the temperature is too low, the viscosity of the oil is too large, the internal resistance of the engine is increased, the spray and evaporation conditions of diesel oil become worse, resulting in the engine can not maintain the minimum stable speed operation, when the throttle is raised, it will turn off quickly. In this case, the throttle can be adjusted to run at a slightly higher idle speed, and then resume idle operation after the engine heats up.

b. If the engine has been used for a long time, there is no idling condition, and the fuel consumption is not normal due to insufficient power. It is generally the plunger wears too much, and the oil leakage increases at idle speed, so that the oil supply cannot meet the idle speed requirement; or the cylinder pressure is too low, the fuel injection advance angle is too large, too small, resulting in poor engine combustion conditions. As long as according to the insufficient power treatment, the idle condition will naturally recover.

c. If the above conditions are normal, the idle working element of the governor should be considered for abnormality. Check if the governor spring is broken or the governor is too worn or the spring is too soft, so that the centrifugal force of the flying hammer during idle operation is much greater than that of the spring tension and reduce oil, or the maintenance personnel do not adjust properly. The fuel injection pump assembly must be removed and the maintenance adjustments must be repeated on the test bench.

d. When checking the governor, first adjust it with the idle screw. If the adjustment is invalid, adjust the pre-tension force of the idle spring. The idle spring adjusting nut can be slightly screwed inward or a washer is placed on the spring seat to increase the preload and increase the idle speed. If the spring is broken, it should be replaced and then adjusted to restore the idle working performance.

Technical Parameters of Boduan 500KW Weichai Generator Set 6M33D572E200

  The 6M33D633E200 diesel engine is a special-purpose diesel engine for land-based power generation in the M33 series. It is a new-structure power generation diesel engine with a centrally - located turbocharger developed by Weichai Power Co., Ltd. in 2016. Continuous Power (COP): The maximum power at which the diesel engine can run continuously under a constant load with no limit on the annual operating hours. It is the ISO standard power. Prime Power (PRP): The maximum power at which the diesel engine can run continuously under variable loads with no limit on the annual operating hours. It is an ISO standard power that allows a 10% overload. Standby Power (ESP): The maximum power in a certain variable - power series that the diesel engine can operate for up to 200 hours per year. It is an ISO standard power with limited fuel consumption.   Operating Conditions and Applications of Baudouin  500KW Weichai Generator Set  Diesel Engine Power Classification Operating Co...

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 ...
