The Principle of Different Components of Diesel Generators

The job of an engineer is not just to always maintain the state of the generator to ensure its maximum efficiency. Although services such as rewinding diesel generators and repairing diesel generators can easily solve maintenance problems that your equipment may encounter, they are not enough.

It is still necessary to truly have a better understanding of your device so that when you request repairs, you can understand what problems your device may have, whether it is a repair or upgrade.

So, what are the components of a diesel generator? Here is a list from Dingbo Power Company to help you better understand your diesel generator.

Engine.

The engine is one of the most important components of a diesel generator. The engine is responsible for converting the fuel source - diesel - into usable energy, ultimately converting it into electrical energy, in order to operate the machine.

Voltage regulator.

As the name suggests, a voltage regulator is mainly used to regulate the generated voltage. It can help convert alternating current into direct current to meet various electrical needs. The voltage must be adjusted to provide a constant current that matches the actual situation.

AC generator.

The AC generator includes a rotor and stator, and generates electrical energy as output. A set of conductive rings is called a stator, which is a fixed part of the generator. The rotor rotates continuously, generating a rotating electromagnetic field around the stator.

Fuel system.

Like the engine, the fuel system is also another important component of the generator. Otherwise, the generator will not be able to produce the required energy. The diesel generator fuel system needs to store enough fuel to keep the generator running for a period of time.

Before the fuel reaches the engine smoothly, the fuel pump sends the fuel filter to the engine through the fuel pipe, helping to filter out the debris in the fuel. Finally, the fuel injector delivers the fuel directly to the engine combustion chamber.

Lubricating oil system.

Like many other types of equipment, generators also have multiple moving parts that require continuous refueling to ensure smooth operation. Here, the lubrication system can help us achieve this goal. At the same time, this also ensures that all components of the generator are not damaged.

Refrigeration and exhaust systems.

Usually, generators emit a large amount of waste heat after long-term operation. The refrigeration system is mainly used to prevent excessive temperature and adjust equipment temperature during use. At the same time, there must be an exhaust system to eliminate harmful gases generated by fuel during the operation of the generator.

Console.

Controlling all other components is one of the most important components of a generator. The control panel can observe multiple factors to monitor its operation and check the efficiency of the equipment.

Main components/framework.

All the different parts mentioned above are placed within the structure - the main assembly framework. Also known as the external casing of a diesel generator, it ensures that the generator is connected to the ground to avoid any serious problems. It can adopt an open or closed (roof) design to provide additional protection and reduce sound attenuation. Generally speaking, diesel generators that must cope with extreme weather must adopt a closed design.

Although some components, such as the diesel engine and control panel, are connected to other components on the diesel generator, this does not diminish the importance of other components. Understanding the working principles of each component of a diesel generator is equally important.

Perhaps you may not be as familiar with components as an engineer, but mastering basic knowledge will greatly improve the efficiency of your diesel generator.
