How to maintain water tank of Volvo generator

Today, we will briefly introduce the maintenance method of the water tank of Volvo diesel generators. If anyelse you need to know about that, welcome to visit our Starlight website, and then we will introduce the relevant information to you. Cleaning of the water radiator: The water radiator needs frequent maintenance to ensure the heat exchange between the coolant and the air. Under normal circumstances, the exterior and interior of the water radiator should be cleaned every 500 hours of   Volvo diesel generator   work. To clean the internal scale and precipitated impurities, first drain the water in the radiator, and then use clean water with a certain pressure (such as tap water) to pass into the radiator core until the water flowing out is clean. Maintenance of the water radiator: After the water radiator has been used for a period of time, if there is a leak, it can be repaired with solder. When the individual pipes are seriously damaged and cannot be repaired, the pipes ...

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 ge...

Why is Voltage Transformer of Generator Set Failure?

Some users may not know about voltage transformer of Perkins generator set. Voltage transformer is a special transformer with limited structure and use form.  What causes voltage transformer failure in   Perkins diesel generator set ? 1.Winding turn to turn short circuit Fault phenomenon: During operation, the temperature rises, there is discharge sound, the high-voltage fuse is blown, the secondary side voltmeter indication is unstable. Reason: System over-voltage, long-term overload operation, aging insulation, poor manufacturing process. 2.Insulation damage between iron chips Fault phenomenon: temperature rise during operation. Reason: Poor insulation between iron chips; Poor service environment; Long term operation at high temperature promotes aging of insulation between iron chips. 3.Poor contact between grounding lug and iron core of diesel engine Fault phenomenon: There is discharge sound between iron core and oil tank during operation. Reason: ...

The Ways to Maintain Lubricating system of Emergency Diesel Generator

We know Lubricating system is very important for emergency diesel generator. But few people know how to maintain it. Today Starlight Power summarize the methods for you. How to maintain lubricating oil system of emergency diesel generator set? 1.Select suitable engine oil for emergency diesel generator. Generally speaking, the instruction manual of each generator set specifies the type of lubricating oil used for the unit. If there is no lubricating oil specified in the manual, the lubricating oil of similar brand can be used. Never mix different brands of engine oil. 2.During the use of emergency generator set, often check the quality of lubricating oil. Check the mechanical admixture in the engine oil when the engine is hot, and pull out the engine oil scale to check. Why should the oil level be suitable? The oil level of the diesel generator set shall be checked before starting each time to ensure that the oil level is within the specified range. 1.Low oil l...
