The Function of The Dashboard for Diesel Generator Sets

Diesel generator sets have a large capacity, can operate in parallel and provide continuous power supply for a long time. They can also operate independently without parallel operation with the regional power grid, and are not affected by power grid failures, resulting in high reliability. Especially for some areas where the commonly used mains power is not very reliable, Guangxi diesel generator manufacturer Dingbo Power recommends using diesel generator sets as backup power sources. They can not only serve as emergency power sources, but also optimize the low-voltage system to use some important loads during power outages. Therefore, they are widely used in engineering fields such as petrochemicals, railways, engineering, industrial and mining enterprises, hotels, and real estate.

In the domestic market, diesel generator sets are equipped with instrument panels. The instruments installed on the instrument panel mainly include charging ammeter, oil pressure gauge, oil temperature gauge, water temperature gauge, and tachometer. The purpose is for diesel generator set managers to observe and understand the working condition of the diesel generator set. Guangxi diesel generator manufacturer Dingbo Electric briefly introduces the use and maintenance of the diesel generator set instrument panel.

Charging ammeter: The diesel generator set charging ammeter can display the magnitude of the battery charging current and discharging current, and can also be used to determine whether there is a fault in the silicon rectifier AC generator and regulator. The "+" terminal of an ammeter is generally connected to the "+" terminal of a charging generator or the armature terminal of a regulator, while the "-" terminal is generally connected to the battery terminal of an electromagnetic switch. A diesel generator set that starts with a battery is generally equipped with an ammeter of (-20--+20) specification on the dashboard; A diesel generator set that starts with two batteries is generally equipped with an ammeter of (-30~+30) specification on the dashboard.

Oil pressure gauge: The oil pressure gauge is used to detect the oil pressure in the main oil passage of a diesel generator set. At present, the most commonly installed electric oil pressure gauge on the dashboard of diesel generator sets is composed of sensors, information sensing wires, and pressure gauges. The oil pressure sensor is installed on the cylinder block and connected to the main oil passage of the oil. The pressure dial is installed on the instrument panel, and the information sensing wire is used to connect the pressure dial and the sensor.

Oil temperature gauge: The oil temperature gauge is used to measure the temperature of the oil inside the oil pan of a diesel generator set. There are two types of oil temperature gauges: hot spot type and resistance type. Currently, the most commonly used is the electric oil temperature gauge, which consists of a temperature sensor, a dial, and sensor wires.

Tachometer: A tachometer is used to detect the number of revolutions per minute during the operation of a diesel generator set. There are two types of tachometers: mechanical and electric.

Water temperature gauge: The water temperature gauge is used to measure the temperature of the cooling water in the cylinder head outlet pipe of a diesel generator set. This table can be used to understand the maximum and minimum temperatures of the cooling water during the operation of the diesel generator set, as well as the composition of the water temperature gauge assembly sensor, sensing wires, and dial. The sensor is installed on the cylinder head outlet pipe, and the dial is installed on the instrument panel, connected by sensing wires between the two.
