Solution Process of Perkins Diesel Generator Set Cylinder Overflow

Mar. 20, 2023

After the Perkins diesel generator set has been used for a period of time, if the customer neglects the inspection and maintenance, the cylinder head nut of the set is likely to loosen, which will lead to the occurrence of cylinder overflow and affect the normal operation of the set. In order to help you solve the problem of unit cylinder overflow correctly, Starlight has sorted out a set of solutions, as follows.

First of all, we need to understand the causes of the cylinder overflow problem of Perkins diesel generator set, which can be divided into two types: the cylinder gasket of Perkins diesel generator set is washed out, causing the water tank to overflow outward and discharge bubbles, showing the state of cooling water boiling, or the tightening torque of the cylinder cover nut of Perkins diesel generator set is insufficient.


Once you know the reason, you can start to repair it. After the Perkins diesel generator set stops rotating, remove the valve cover, rocker arm seat, etc., and check the fastening nuts of the cylinder head. It is found that the tightening torque of the fastening nuts is severe and uneven, and some can be tightened with 100N. m torque. After tightening the nuts from the head with 270N. m torque, install the rocker arm seat and adjust the valve clearance.


After maintenance, check whether the overflow problem has been completely solved. The specific inspection method is introduced as follows: start the Perkins diesel genset to the rated speed, and after running for a period of time, check whether there is water overflow between the cylinder head and the cylinder. If not, the problem has been solved. If there is water overflow, it needs to be repaired again.


In general, it is relatively simple to solve the cylinder overflow problem of diesel generator set, but in fact, as long as you pay more attention to daily inspection and maintenance during the use of the unit, the probability of cylinder overflow problem will be greatly reduced. Therefore, Starlight hopes that customers can pay attention to the daily inspection and maintenance of the unit, and take preventive measures.
