These diesel generator set start misunderstandings, have you been recruited?

As a commonly used backup power supply or mobile power supply, diesel generator sets play an important role in many occasions. However, when starting the diesel generator set, many people will fall into some misunderstandings, which may not only affect the normal operation of the unit, but also shorten the service life of the unit. Let's take a look at some of the common startup pitfalls.

No pre-boot checks are performed
Many people often ignore the inspection of the unit before starting the diesel generator set. In fact, pre-launch checks are crucial. It is necessary to check whether the oil level is within the normal range, and insufficient oil may lead to increased wear and tear on various parts of the engine; Check the coolant level, insufficient coolant may overheat the engine; Also check that the amount of fuel is sufficient and that there are no leaks in the fuel system. In addition, it is also essential to check whether the battery voltage is normal and whether the connecting parts are loose. If you ignore these checks, you may experience various failures after booting or even failure to boot.
Direct chiller start
For the sake of convenience, some users directly start the diesel generator set when the ambient temperature is low, which is very incorrect. In a low temperature environment, the viscosity of the oil increases, the fluidity deteriorates, and the lubrication effect between the components is poor. If it is started directly, the starting resistance of the engine will increase, the load of the starting motor will increase, which will easily cause damage to the starting motor, and will also aggravate the wear and tear of the internal parts of the engine. The correct way is to preheat the unit before starting, and hot water preheating, electric heating and preheating can be used to raise the temperature of the engine body to a certain extent before starting.
Multiple successive ignitions at start-up
When the diesel generator set starts unsuccessfully, some users will be anxious to ignite multiple times in a row, trying to get the unit to start as soon as possible. But this approach is wrong. Successive ignition will make the starter motor work for a long time and generate a lot of heat, which can easily cause the starter motor to overheat and burn out. In addition, continuous ignition may cause fuel to accumulate in the cylinder, causing a "flooded" phenomenon, which is more difficult to start. Generally speaking, the interval between each start should not be less than 15 seconds, and the number of consecutive starts should not exceed 3 times.
Loads immediately after launch
After the diesel generator set is started, there needs to be a warm-up process, so that the engine parts are fully warmed and lubricated, and the load is loaded after reaching the normal working temperature and pressure. If it is loaded immediately after starting, the engine will bear a large load before it reaches the best working condition, which will lead to incomplete combustion, carbon deposition, increase fuel consumption, and also cause a large impact on the mechanical parts of the engine, affecting the service life of the unit. Generally, the warm-up time should be determined according to the ambient temperature and the unit model, generally 3-5 minutes.
Understanding and avoiding these diesel generator set startup mistakes can enable us to better use and maintain the unit, ensure that it can operate stably and reliably at critical moments, and provide a strong power guarantee for our production and life. I hope everyone can pay attention to it and let the diesel generator set play the maximum efficiency.
