Precautions for Disassembling The Engine Part of a Diesel Generator Set

When users purchase and use generator sets from brands such as Cummins, Perkins, Mercedes - Benz, Yuchai, Shangchai, and Ricardo, if there is a fault in the engine part, the engine needs to be disassembled either entirely or partially. The purpose of disassembling the engine in a diesel generator set is to better overhaul, identify, and troubleshoot the engine. However, improper measures during the disassembly process can artificially cause damage to the engine's components and shorten their service life.

Guangxi Dingbo Power Equipment Manufacturing Co., Ltd. is a professional diesel generator set manufacturer with strong technical strength. Its technical service department has years of theoretical and practical experience in engine maintenance. The engineers have handled many engine overhauls. Based on years of work experience, they have summarized the following points that must be noted during the engine disassembly process:

1.Select a suitable disassembly site: It is recommended to choose a regular maintenance workshop. At the very least, the disassembly should be carried out on a relatively clean cement floor. If it is unavoidable to work outdoors, wooden boards or other cardboard should be used to support the parts to keep them clean, preventing contamination or loss.

2.Drain the engine fluids: Completely drain the engine oil and coolant (pay attention to preventing environmental pollution). Use a soft cloth and diesel to clean the dust and oil around the engine. When cleaning, be careful not to contaminate the control system and the generator part of the diesel generator set to avoid secondary damage.

3.Follow the operating procedures: Operate strictly in accordance with the operating procedures and methods. Use professional tools correctly and apply the right amount of force. Follow the disassembly sequence and do not blindly knock or pry randomly to avoid damaging parts or tools.

4.Properly arrange the parts: It is best to use a parts rack. At least, clean wooden blocks should be used for placement. Paired parts (such as connecting rods, pistons, bearing shells and bearing caps, injectors, etc.) should be arranged together in order as much as possible and marked for pairing. Dust - proof protective covers should be installed on the joints of some important parts. The parts of each cylinder should be arranged in order as much as possible so that they can be reinstalled to their original mating pairs during reassembly. Screws and nuts should preferably be reinstalled on the original parts to avoid incorrect installation or loss.

5.Deal with difficult - to - disassemble parts: For some parts that are difficult to disassemble due to rust or improper operation, they can be disassembled by soaking them in engine oil or diesel, heating them, or welding additional parts.

6.Ensure safety: Always pay attention to personal safety and equipment safety during the disassembly process. Special attention should be paid to fire prevention and disaster prevention.
