Repair and Maintenance of Diesel Generator Set

6.1 General Provisions Good maintenance and repair, the key of the long-term service life of the generator set, should be carried out by the qualified technical personnel. Good record shall be made in case of maintenance and repair, which will be helpful to arranging the working procedures of maintenance and repair in the future. In general, the generator set shall be kept clean without liquids such as: fuel oil or lubricating oil piled up on any internal or external surfaces and on the surface of, under and around the sound absorption (if the device is available) materials. The industrial water solvent shall be used to clean the surface of the machine, but the flammable solvents can not be used for cleaning. For instance, the protection of the sound absorption material is torn down or penetrated, it should be replaced immediately so as to prevent the liquid or oils penetrated and accumulated on the material. 6.2 Preventative Maintenance For the situations of ...

Decreasing the Consumption of Diesel Generator

Decreas ing  the Consumption of Diesel Generator The main fuel used in diesel generators is diesel fuel, and the cost of using it continues to rise as oil prices continue to rise. There are many users who are concerned about the fuel consumption of diesel generator sets. So how to use  diesel generator more fuel-efficient? What details should you pay attention to in the process of using? In the operation of diesel generator set, because of the high temperature produced by the relevant parts during combustion, the ash carbon polymer is attached to the valve, valve seat, fuel injector, piston top and so on. Failure to clean up in time will increase fuel consumption and seriously affect the normal operation of the engine. In general, it is best to clear it once a month for 4-6 months. At the same time, the cooling water temperature of diesel generator set should be kept around 45-61 ℃ , if the water temperature is too low, it will cause incomplete combustion of di...

Diesel Engine Cylinder Head Installation and Removal

The object of the measurement is to determine selection of the cylinder head gasket. Clean the mating surface, the cylinder block sealing surfaces and the cylinder head . Use cleaning spirits and 885516 Gasket scraper. Install spacers (3) and 9998678 Gauge rod (1) on the engine block sealing surface. Set the dial indicator (2) to ”0”. 15 NOTICE! All pistons must be measured at TDC. Piston height above the Volvo engine block must be measured at measuring points (1) and (2) on all pistons. Pay attention to the measuring points, since the piston crown is domed. 16 Check that the piston is in its uppermost position, TDC. Place the dial indicator on the piston at measuring points (1) and (2). Read off and note the value on the dial indicator. 17 Compare the highest noted value with the table below. Determine the appropriate cylinder head gasket. 18 NOTICE! Check the contact surface before installation. Pay attention to the g...
