Daily Maintenance of The Diesel Generator

Diesel generator is a commonly used power generation equipment, widely used in industrial agriculture, construction and other fields. In order to ensure the normal operation of the diesel generator and extend its service life, the daily maintenance work is essential. This paper will introduce the daily maintenance of the diesel generator from the following aspects:

1. Change the oil and machine filter regularly

The diesel generator generates a lot of heat, and the oil acts as lubrication, cooling and cleaning in the process. Therefore, it is very important to change the engine oil regularly. In general, the oil needs to be replaced every 250 hours or about 3 months, and the oil source cleaner should be replaced at the same time. When changing the oil, pay attention to using the oil of the diesel generator and add it according to the specified oil level mark.

2. Clean the air cleaner

The function of the air filter is to filter the impurities and dust from the air entering the engine to ensure the normal operation of the engine. Therefore, it is very important to clean the air filter regularly. Generally, the air filter is cleaned once every 100 hours or 1 month. When cleaning, the air cleaner can be removed, and the dust on the filter element can be removed with a brush or compressed air, and then installed back back.

3. Check and clean up the radiator

Radiator is an important part of heat dissipation of diesel generator. If the radiator is blocked or dust, it will cause the generator to overheating and affect its normal operation. Therefore, a regular inspection and cleaning of the radiator is necessary. When cleaning, use a soft brush to remove the dust and impurities from the radiator, or use compressed air to purge.

4. Check the battery

The start of the diesel generator depends on the power of the battery, so it is necessary to check the power and voltage of the battery regularly. If the power shortage is found, it can be solved by charging or replacing the battery. In addition, check whether the battery wiring is loose, whether the electrolyte is sufficient, and clean the corrosion on the battery terminal in time.

5. Check for the fuel system

The fuel system is one of the keys to the normal operation of the diesel generator, so the regular inspection of the fuel system is necessary. When checking, pay attention to whether there is oil leakage in the fuel pipeline, whether the fuel filter needs to be replaced, and whether the fuel pump and fuel injector work normally. If any abnormal situation is found, repair or replace the relevant parts in time.

6. Check the mechanical components of the generator regularly

Check the mechanical parts of the generator regularly, such as belts, fans, bearings, etc., to ensure their normal operation. When checking, pay attention to whether the tension of the belt is appropriate, whether the fan blade is damaged and the bearing is well lubricated. If any abnormal situation is found, repair or replace it in time.

7. Regular operation of the generator

Diesel generators that are not used for a long time are prone to problems such as rust of mechanical parts and aging of oil seal. Therefore, it is very necessary to run the generator regularly. During operation, the normal load operation of the generator should be maintained for a period of time, so that all components can be fully lubricated and expanded and contracted, and improve its reliability and service life.

Daily maintenance of diesel generator includes regular change of oil and machine filter, clean air filter, inspection and cleaning of radiator, inspection of battery, inspection of fuel system, regular inspection of mechanical components and regular operation of generator, etc. Only by doing these maintenance work well can we ensure the normal operation of the diesel generator and extend its service life. I hope this article is helpful to you.
