The Use of Governor on Volvo Diesel Generator Set

The fuel supply of the Volvo diesel generator set fuel injection pump depends on the speed of the diesel engine. When the crankshaft speed increases, the fuel supply also increases; on the contrary, the fuel supply decreases. When the diesel engine load changes, the speed changes greatly.

Specifically: when the load of the Volvo diesel generator set is reduced, the speed increases, and the increase in the speed leads to an increase in the circulating oil supply of the plunger pump, and the increase in the circulating oil supply leads to a further increase in the speed, which continues a vicious cycle, forming an engine The revs are getting higher and higher, and eventually the car will fly. On the contrary, when the load of the generator increases, the speed decreases, and the decrease in the speed leads to a decrease in the circulating oil supply of the plunger pump.

To change this vicious cycle, it is required to automatically adjust the fuel supply according to load changes. Active control mechanism that makes Volvo diesel generator set work stably within the specified speed range. By moving the fuel supply lever, the circulating fuel supply amount can be changed, so that the speed of the diesel engine is not changed at all.

Therefore, in order to meet the requirements of the Volvo diesel generator set, it must be equipped with a governor. According to the size of the unit load, the speed can be adjusted automatically to ensure the normal operation of the Volvo diesel generator set.
