7 Important Core Components of Diesel Generator Set

Diesel generator set is a device that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy. Nowadays, diesel generator set is the preferred backup power source for major enterprises. Diesel generator set plays a crucial role in maintaining stable power supply for manufacturing factories, hospitals, engineering projects, etc. Do you know how a diesel generator set works? To understand this issue clearly, you first need to understand the seven important core components of a diesel generator set.

Diesel engine: Diesel engines input mechanical energy. The engine runs on diesel fuel. The working process of a diesel engine is the same as that of a gasoline engine, with each working cycle going through four strokes: intake, compression, power, and exhaust.

AC generator: An AC generator produces electrical output. But it does not directly generate electricity, but promotes its conversion through the provided mechanical energy. The magnetic components of the AC generator work together with the rotor and plastic casing to generate electricity. It is mainly caused by the motion between magnetic and electric fields.

Fuel system: Although inevitably complex, the fuel system essentially converts the inclusion of fuel into maintaining the basic functions of industrial generators. Fuel is processed through a complex system using a fuel pump (to remove buildup) and ventilation pipes. The fuel injector maintains the flow rate at the end of the generator.

Voltage regulator: During the use of diesel generator sets, there may be situations where the voltage is insufficient or unstable. As an important hub for voltage regulation, the voltage regulator can adjust the voltage to a suitable level.

Cooling and exhaust: The cooling system exhausts excess heat. Most industrial generators can be cooled through a cooling system. In most industrial parks, large generators are supported by cooling towers. The system removes heat from the engine and processes it to the surrounding area. That's why industrial generators need to maintain at least a certain distance in all directions. The exhaust pipe is connected to the engine through a connecting pipe, which can remove toxins and toxic chemicals produced by the generator. Pipelines usually lead outdoors, away from doors and enclosed areas.

Lubrication: The lubrication system is crucial as it stores oil in a basin supported by edge sized pumps. The pump actually sprays oil on many moving parts of the generator, minimizing wear and roughness in the moving parts of the unit.

Battery: Both the battery and the subsequent battery charging station provide float charging voltage. This special feature can serve as an indicator of battery depletion.

The structure of different types of diesel generator sets is basically inseparable from the above-mentioned key components. Understanding diesel generator sets can help you better utilize them.
