Daily Inspection Points of Diesel Generator Set

The Diesel generator set uses diesel as fuel. The diesel engine drives the generator to produce electric energy. It features fast startup and flexible layout, and is not restricted by gas pipelines. It is often used as an emergency standby power supply, and can also provide independent power supply in remote areas without power grids. It is a widely used and reliable power supply equipment.

 

I. Features of Diesel generator set

The Diesel generator set does not rely on gas pipelines for fuel supply. Fuel storage and transportation are convenient, and it boasts strong environmental adaptability. It can operate stably under high and low temperature and field conditions. The set responds quickly and can start power supply rapidly after power failure. A wide range of models are available, including open-type, silent and container types. Equipped with an intelligent control system, it supports remote monitoring, automatic start-stop and protection alarms.

IV. Daily Inspection Points of Diesel generator set

1. The daily inspection of the Diesel generator set shall be carried out at fixed frequencies item by item to detect hidden faults in time and ensure reliable startup and power supply of the set in case of sudden power failure. First, check the fuel tank level, inspect fuel pipelines for leakage and confirm the normal state of valves. Pay attention to diesel quality and prevent water and impurities from entering the oil circuit.

2. Next, check the oil level and coolant level of the Diesel generator set, look for leakage traces and check whether the oil color is abnormal to avoid insufficient lubrication or cooling failure.

3. Then check whether the battery terminals of the Diesel generator set are fastened and free of oxidation, and verify whether the voltage reaches the standard, which is the key to smooth startup. Observe the appearance of the Diesel generator set, check whether the exhaust pipe and muffler are loose or damaged, and pay attention to exhaust color during operation. Black smoke and blue smoke are abnormal conditions. Check the display screen of the control cabinet synchronously, verify operating parameters such as water temperature, oil pressure, voltage and frequency, and confirm that no alarm indicators light up abnormally.

4. Also inspect the machine room environment to guarantee smooth ventilation and heat dissipation, clear sundries around the Diesel generator set, and check whether the silent box and exhaust passage are unobstructed. For trailer-mounted and container-type sets, inspect door locks, shock-absorbing components and grounding wires.

5. Keep records after inspection. Mark problems such as leakage and abnormal parameters and arrange shutdown maintenance. It is forbidden to keep the Diesel generator set on standby for a long time with hidden dangers. In addition to static inspection, standby Diesel generator sets need regular test runs to verify startup and load-carrying capacity.

 

V. FAQ of Diesel generator set

1. What causes blue smoke from the Diesel generator set?

Answer: Generally, engine oil enters the combustion chamber. It is necessary to check piston rings and valve oil seals.

2. How often should a standby Diesel generator set be tested?

Answer: Monthly test runs are recommended, and load tests shall be arranged first to verify power supply performance.

3. Can engine oil of different brands be mixed for the Diesel generator set?

Answer: Mixing is not recommended. Different formulas may reduce lubrication performance.

4. How to solve the difficulty in starting the Diesel generator set in low-temperature environments?

Answer: Install a water jacket heater and select diesel with the grade suitable for low temperature.

5. What is the function of grounding for the Diesel generator set?

Answer: It prevents electric leakage and ensures the safety of personnel and supporting electrical equipment.

6. Can the Diesel generator set run at no load for a long time?

Answer: It is not recommended. Long-time no-load operation easily causes carbon deposition and damages fuel injection parts.

7. What consequences will water in the fuel tank of the Diesel generator set bring?

Answer: It may block the fuel injector, causing unit shaking and shutdown.

8. What are common causes of unstable voltage of the Diesel generator set?

Answer: Excitation system failure, speed fluctuation and unbalanced load may all lead to this problem.

9. Where is the noise of silent Diesel generator set mainly controlled?

Answer: It relies on sound-absorbing cotton in the box, exhaust silencers and shock-absorbing bases for joint noise reduction.

10. Does the machine room of the Diesel generator set need fire-fighting equipment?

Answer: It is mandatory. Diesel is flammable, so fire protection measures must be taken.

 

VI. Application Fields of Diesel generator set

1. The Diesel generator set serves as independent power supply guarantee for mining projects in the field.

2. Emergency standby power supply systems for hospitals and CDC centers.

3. The Diesel generator set is supporting equipment for temporary power consumption on construction sites.
