The four major components of a diesel generator set include: diesel engine, generator, control system, cooling system, etc. Among these components, operating users also need to understand the "three filters", which is very important in diesel engines. What are the "three filters"? The filter plays a role in filtering diesel, engine oil or water to prevent impurities from entering the body. Oil dirt and impurities are also inevitable in diesel, so the filter plays an important role during the operation of the unit. "Three filters" refers to: air filter, oil filter and fuel filter. If the oil or impurities in the third filter are deposited on the filter wall, which will reduce the filtration capacity of the filter. If there is too much deposition, the oil circuit will not be smooth. In this way, the oil engine will go into shock due to the inability to supply oil when running under load. Therefore, during the use of normal generator sets, it is recommended that the common unit replace the third filter every 500 hours; the backup unit replaces the third filter every two years. Heyuan Zhongdian reminds you: The quality of the third filter is directly related to the service life of the diesel engine. Please pay attention to timely replacement and maintenance.
The main function of the air filter is to filter impurities in the air to ensure that the air entering the cylinder is clean and meets the air intake requirements of each cylinder of the engine. If the air filter is too dirty or the filter element components are made of inferior raw materials, resulting in insufficient air flow, the engine will suffer from insufficient power, emit black smoke during load operation, and increase engine fuel consumption. If the air filter element has poor filtration effect or is damaged, it will cause serious early wear of the engine, which seriously affects the service life of the engine piston rings and cylinder liners. After the piston rings and cylinder liners are severely worn, the engine will suffer from insufficient power, blue smoke from the exhaust, and burning of engine oil. When installing the air filter, do not miss, reverse or incorrectly install the sealing gaskets and rubber connecting pipes, and ensure the tightness of each embedding. The paper dust cup air filter used needs to be cleared of dust once every 50-100 hours of operation. Use a soft brush to brush off the surface dust. If the operation time exceeds 500 hours or is damaged, it should be replaced in time. Use an oil bath air filter. Every 100-200 hours of operation, clean the filter element with clean diesel and replace the engine oil in it. If the filter element is broken, it needs to be replaced immediately. Pay attention to adding engine oil according to regulations during use.
The function of the oil filter is to filter the impurities in the oil and the grinding caused by the mutual friction between the moving parts of the engine and to ensure sufficient throughput to ensure smooth flow of the oil and meet lubrication requirements. Poor quality of the oil filter may cause too much engine resistance and reduce the amount of oil passing through, which may lead to poor engine lubrication and excessive oil temperature or high oil pressure. If the filter element is damaged, the oil will enter each moving friction surface without filtering. The impurities and grinding in the oil will increase the wear of each moving surface. Long-term operation may cause grooves on some moving surfaces (mainly bearing bushes), seriously reducing the service life of the engine. If the filter element is clogged, it will cause the engine to have a shaft holding or "cylinder pulling" failure. Therefore, the oil filter must be cleaned every 180-200 hours of operation. If it is found to be damaged, it should be replaced immediately to prevent impurities from entering the lubricated surface. When the diesel generator is used in different seasons, the crankcase and lubricated surfaces should also be cleaned. The method is to mix engine oil, kerosene and diesel as washing oil. After the engine oil is released, add washing oil for cleaning. Then, run the diesel engine at low speed for 3-5 minutes, then drain the washing oil and add new engine oil.
The function of the fuel filter is to filter impurities and moisture in the fuel to ensure that the fuel entering the high-pressure system of the engine is clean and meets the fuel supply requirements. There is a problem with the quality of the fuel filter. The resistance of the engine filter component is too large, and the engine shows insufficient power and unstable speed during operation. If the filtration effect of the filter element is too poor or the filter element is ruptured,It may cause excessive wear of precision parts in the high-pressure oil system (such as plungers, oil delivery valves, fuel injectors, etc.), which may also lead to insufficient engine power and unstable speed. Various fuel filters in the fuel supply system should be cleared of debris every 100-200 hours of operation, and the fuel tank and each oil pipeline should be thoroughly cleaned. Be especially careful when cleaning the filter element and seals. If any damage is found, replace it in time. When changing oil during seasonal transition, all parts of the entire fuel supply system should be cleaned. The diesel used should meet seasonal requirements and undergo 48 hours of sedimentation and purification treatment.
