Introduce The Importance of Generator Set Maintenance with Examples

Various small problems will occur during the use of the generator set. Some problems can be found and avoided through routine maintenance, and some problems must be repaired by special personnel. Starlight will tell you the importance of maintaining the diesel generator set with practical examples below.

The importance of maintenance

The diesel generator set is the provider of emergency standby power supply after the power failure. Most of the time, the unit is in standby standby state. Once the power failure occurs, the unit is required to "start and supply". Otherwise, the standby unit will be meaningless! How can we achieve this goal? Practice has proved that strengthening daily maintenance is the most economical and effective method. Because the unit is in static state for a long time, various materials of the unit itself will have complex chemical and physical changes with engine oil, cooling water, diesel oil, air, etc., which will "release" the unit.

Here are a few examples

About 30% of the failure reports received by our company for the failure of the unit to start normally are due to the failure of the unit starting battery, for example, the battery has not been maintained for a long time, and the electrolyte cannot be replenished in time after volatilization; No starting battery charger is configured; The battery capacity decreases after a long time of natural discharge; Or the charger used needs to be manually and regularly equalized/floating charged, and the battery power fails to meet the requirements due to negligence. To solve this problem, in addition to configuring high-quality chargers, necessary detection and maintenance are also necessary.

There are also many serious failures, often caused by minor maintenance negligence. For example, the water vapor in the diesel oil storage tank will condense due to the change of temperature in the atmosphere, form water droplets and hang on the inner wall of the tank, which will flow into the diesel oil, causing the water content of the diesel oil to exceed the standard. Such diesel oil entering the engine high-pressure oil pump will rust the precise coupling - plunger, and seriously damage the unit. Regular maintenance can be avoided.

For another example, the diesel engine lubricating oil has a shelf life. If it is stored for a long time, the physical and chemical properties of the lubricating oil will change, resulting in the deterioration of the lubricating condition during the operation of the unit and easy to cause damage to the engine parts. Therefore, the lubricating oil should be replaced regularly.

Analysis of the causes of many failure cases shows that as long as a complete maintenance procedure is established, the unit is regularly and regularly maintained. It can make the unit "able to start and supply" at the critical time!
