Be Cautious When Using Diesel Generators Set

Diesel generator set is a type of power generation equipment that can continuously, stably, and safely provide electrical energy. Its use is not limited by the location and can be used in outdoor construction sites, outdoor places, indoor computer rooms, etc. However, regardless of the occasion, Dingbo Electric reminds you to always pay attention to maintaining the cleanliness and hygiene of the unit and its surrounding environment, because dust, soil, and foreign objects on or around diesel generators are also causes of fires or overheating of the unit.

During the operation of a diesel generator set, if dust, mud, water stains, and other debris enter its interior, it will form a short-circuit medium, which can damage the insulation layer of the wire, cause inter turn short circuits, increase current, and temperature, and burn the diesel generator set. At the same time, it may cause a fire, which may result in significant economic losses. Therefore, Dingbo Electric reminds you to place several dry powder or carbon dioxide gas fire extinguishers in a convenient place in the generator room. To ensure the normal operation of the diesel generator set, in addition to keeping the unit and its surrounding environment clean and hygienic, users should also pay attention to the following matters:

1. Observe diligently, listen carefully, and immediately stop the machine if any odor is detected

Observe the diesel generator set for vibration, noise, and abnormal odors. During the operation of diesel generator sets, especially high-power diesel generator sets, it is necessary to regularly check whether the anchor bolts, diesel generator set end caps, bearing covers, etc. are loose, and whether the grounding device is reliable.

2. Keep the working current of the diesel generator set not too high

Diesel generator sets can experience overload operation due to excessive load, low voltage, or mechanical jamming caused by driving. Therefore, during the operation of diesel generator sets, it is important to regularly check whether the transmission device operates flexibly and reliably.

3. Pay attention to whether the temperature and temperature rise of the diesel generator set are too high

Regularly check whether the bearings of the running diesel generator set are overheated or lack oil. If the temperature rise near the bearings is found to be too high, the machine should be stopped immediately for inspection. Check whether there are cracks, scratches or damages on the rolling elements and raceway surfaces of the bearings, whether the bearing clearance is too large and shaking, and whether the inner ring is rotating on the shaft. If the above phenomenon occurs, the bearings must be updated.

4. Regularly check whether the three-phase current of the diesel generator set is balanced

During the operation of the generator with unbalanced current, the temperature of each part of the generator and the vibration of the unit should be closely monitored. If the unbalanced current increases and the temperature rises abnormally, the generator should be stopped immediately.

5. Regularly inspect and maintain the control equipment of diesel generator sets to ensure their normal operation

The technical condition of the control equipment for diesel generator sets plays a decisive role in the normal start-up of diesel generator sets. Therefore, the control equipment of diesel generator sets should be located in a dry, ventilated, and easy to operate position, and regularly dust should be removed.

With the continuous rise of temperature, the overheating phenomenon of diesel generator sets during use has become increasingly frequent. Dingbo Electric reminds users not to do a good job in ventilation and heat dissipation of the units, and to pay attention to the above matters during use to avoid damage to the units due to overheating.

Dingbo Power was founded in 1974 and is one of the earliest manufacturers of generators and diesel generator sets in China. If you want get more information, please feel free to send email to sales@dieselgeneratortech.com we will pay highly attention on your question.
