Reasons for Diesel Generator Set Not Starting Normally

Oct. 17, 2023

Do you know which situations a diesel generator set cannot start normally? Before starting a diesel generator set, check to see if the diesel generator set is ready. Start the diesel generator set with all the switches and conditions feasible. Note that the situation cannot be started. First, avoid running without cooling water or adding boiling water to start the diesel generator set before adding cooling water, It can cause important components such as hot cylinder liners and cylinder heads to burst or deform due to sudden cooling. Sudden addition of 100 ℃ boiling water to the cold body can also crack the cylinder head and body. It should be added when the water temperature drops to 60-70 ℃. Secondly, if the diesel generator set does not supply oil according to regulations, the pressure reducing handle should not be placed in the "working" position before supplying oil. Instead, the throttle handle should be placed in the supply position before starting.

The harm of not operating according to this regulation is wasting fuel. Excess diesel will wash away the cylinder wall, causing deterioration of lubrication between the piston, piston ring, and cylinder liner, exacerbating wear. The residual oil flowing into the oil pan will dilute the engine oil and reduce the lubrication effect. Excessive diesel combustion in the cylinder may not completely form carbon deposits. Three taboos for starting a diesel engine when the engine oil is viscous during cold driving can exacerbate the wear and tear between various moving parts, thereby reducing the service life of the locomotive. Four taboos: Long term use of electric heating plugs, flame preheater electric heating plugs, and flame preheater heating elements are all electric heating wires, which consume a lot of electricity and heat. Long term use can damage the battery due to rapid discharge, and can also burn out the electric heating wire. Therefore, the continuous use time of the glow plug should not exceed 1 minute, and the continuous use time of the flame preheater should be controlled within 20 seconds.
