What are the Internal Causes of Diesel Generator Set Failure?

 As a Diesel Generator Manufacturer, share with you.

Generators are now more practical power generation equipment, but any mechanical equipment may fail. In order for us to use the generator without affecting the efficiency and normal operation, it is necessary to understand some skills and diagnostic knowledge of the generator set.

Internal reasons

1. The nature of materials and oils

In the design and manufacturing process, materials should be selected correctly according to the working nature and characteristics of the generator set parts. Inappropriate selection of materials, non-compliance of materials and selection of inappropriate substitutes are the main reasons for the phenomenon of wear, corrosion, deformation, cracking and aging of the parts. The properties of various materials and oil used in the unit can be summed up in three aspects: physical properties, chemical properties and mechanical properties. Many failures of the unit are due to the influence of external factors and the result of these properties. For example, metal materials will deform when subjected to excessive force and will oxidize under the action of high temperature; non-metal materials will age, and the acidic substances contained in the oil will have a corrosive effect on the metal and will also cause the oil to deteriorate.

2. The structural characteristics of the machine parts

Each unit of the unit has its own characteristics in terms of structure. In work, external factors often play a role through these characteristics, causing failures of related parts. For example, due to the structural characteristics of the engine water jacket itself, under the action of high temperature, the cooling water forms scale on the outer wall of the cylinder liner, which affects the cooling effect of the cylinder liner.

3. The working characteristics of the machine parts

The parts that are in direct contact and are in relative motion are worn out due to friction. For example, the piston ring of a diesel engine is in direct contact with the cylinder. During the working process, the piston ring makes a high-speed reciprocating linear movement in the cylinder, causing the cylinder to wear. Parts with drastic temperature changes during operation are deformed and cracked due to thermal stress. For example, in the working process of a diesel engine, the internal stress of the cylinder block and cylinder head is redistributed due to the climax to achieve a new balance, resulting in warping and deformation of the cylinder head plane.

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...
