Maintenance of Lubrication System for Diesel Generator Set Part 2

This article continues to introduce the maintenance of the lubrication system for diesel generators.

In high temperature environments, the viscosity of lubricating oil will decrease, leading to a decrease in lubrication performance. This will increase friction and wear between internal components of the diesel engine. At the same time, high temperature can accelerate the oxidation and deterioration of lubricating oil, further reducing its lubrication effect. For extreme weather conditions, lubricating oil with excellent performance should be selected. In high-temperature environments, lubricating oil with high viscosity index and good high-temperature stability should be selected. Moreover, lubricating oil will gradually deteriorate and contaminate during use, so it should be replaced regularly. At the same time, the filter also needs to be replaced or cleaned regularly to prevent impurities from entering the lubricating oil circulation system. Regularly replacing lubricating oil and filters can effectively maintain the cleanliness and performance of lubricating oil, reducing the wear of engine components.

At the same time, regularly checking the engine oil level and pressure is key to ensuring the proper functioning of the lubrication system. Low oil level can lead to insufficient lubrication and exacerbate wear; If the oil pressure is too high, it may damage the oil seal and sealing components. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure that the oil level is within the appropriate range and maintain normal oil pressure.

Regular cleaning of the lubrication system can prevent dirt and impurities from accumulating in the system, which can affect the performance of the lubricating oil and the operation of the engine. Special cleaning agents and tools can be used for cleaning to ensure the smooth and normal operation of the lubrication system.

In addition, lubrication of lubrication points should be strengthened. The lubrication system of diesel generator sets usually involves multiple lubrication points, such as the connecting rod, crankcase, valve mechanism, etc. of the engine. These lubrication points require regular lubrication to ensure reduced friction and wear between the components. Proper lubricants should be used for lubrication according to the maintenance manual of the unit.

In extreme weather conditions, special measures need to be taken to protect the lubrication system. For example, in high-temperature environments, maintenance of the cooling system can be strengthened to reduce the operating temperature of the engine. In addition, waterproof and dustproof measures can be taken to protect the lubrication system from the effects of moisture and dust.

Therefore, for users and maintenance personnel of diesel generator sets, it is necessary to attach great importance to the maintenance of the lubrication system. Only by ensuring the good operation of the lubrication system and the high-quality supply of lubricating oil can the stable operation and long-term service life of diesel generator sets be guaranteed. At the same time, this is also one of the important ways to achieve energy conservation and emission reduction, improve economic and social benefits.
