    Diesel generator sets are a kind of power generation device with quick start, convenient operation and maintenance, low investment, and strong adaptability to the environment. New or long-unused generators must be strictly inspected before they are put into normal operation. So what details should be paid attention to during the operation of diesel generator sets? The following is a detailed introduction for everyone.   Check the oil pressure, water temperature, voltage, frequency, etc. of the diesel generator control module. If there is any abnormality, it must be stopped and checked immediately. After the fault is eliminated, the diesel generator set can be started again.   ▌ Check whether there is leakage in the oil circuit, water circuit, gas circuit and exhaust system of the diesel generator set, check whether the connections of the diesel generator set are loose and vibrate violently, and check whether the various protection and monitoring devices of the d...

When you plan to purchase a generator set for your house or factory, we are facing a question that how to choose the capacity of the generator? It's very easy if follow our steps:   1. Determine Your Equipment's Wattage Needs: Start by identifying all the equipment you plan to power with the generator. Make a comprehensive list and add up the total wattage required. You can usually find this information on the equipment's nameplate or in the manufacturer's specifications. Keep in mind that some equipment may have different starting and running wattages, so ensure you account for any initial surges in power needed to start the load.   2. Convert kW to kVA: Once you have the total wattage required, you'll need to convert it to kilovolt-amperes (kVA), which is the measure of apparent power. While kilowatts (kW) represent actual power used, generators are rated in kVA. To convert between kW and kVA, you'll need to consider the system's power factor, which indicates its efficiency...

  Paralleling in the context of electrical generators involves combining or synchronizing two power sources to generate a unified output voltage waveform. Essentially, it's the process of linking two generators, typically of similar brand, type, and size, to produce a combined wattage output that exceeds that of a single generator.   When these generators are connected in parallel, they operate in sync to enhance the overall power supply. This synchronized setup facilitates the provision of increased wattage, enabling the operation of more than just essential devices during power emergencies or to power larger systems or buildings. Paralleling multiple power sources offers various advantages, providing increased reliability, flexibility in managing loads, and simplified maintenance with minimal disruptions. These parallel systems, where multiple generators are linked to a common bus, serve critical and emergency loads more effectively, especially in terms of response time and...

  Understanding the Quality and Appeal of Chinese-Made Generators   In recent years, the global market has seen a significant rise in the popularity and adoption of Chinese-made generators. The burgeoning reputation of these generators is not only attributed to their competitive prices but also their improving quality, innovation, and comprehensive features. Here, we delve into the compelling reasons behind the growing preference for Chinese-made generators.   Quality Evolution: Traditionally, there might have been hesitations regarding the quality of products manufactured in China. However, the landscape has transformed significantly. Chinese generator manufacturers have made substantial strides in enhancing their product quality. Through technological advancements and stringent quality control measures, they have managed to produce generators that rival those of established brands from other parts of the world. Brands that stand out include Weichai, SDEC, Yuchai, etc. ...

You've provided an excellent summary of important factors to consider when choosing a diesel generator. This comprehensive overview will surely help individuals and businesses make informed decisions when purchasing or renting generators for various applications. Here's a further breakdown of the points you've highlighted:     Right Capacity for the Application: Selecting the correct generator capacity is vital to ensure uninterrupted power during outages and prevent equipment damage due to voltage and frequency dips.   If the generator set needs to directly start the asynchronous motor. The starting current can be as high as 7 times the rated current, and some motors may adopt a voltage drop starting method. At this time, the starting current is about 3 times the rated current. This is when you need to choose a suitable generator set based on the actual situation.   Brand Choosing: Various generator brands are tailored to specific usage environments. If your requir...

When starting a diesel generator that has been in storage for more than 1 year, it is crucial to perform a thorough inspection to ensure its proper functioning. Here are the measures recommended by Hosem Power:   Before unsealing and starting the standby generator, several inspections need to be performed:   Unit Surface: Ensure that the surface of the unit is thoroughly cleaned. Check for any loose nuts on foundation bolts, flywheel screws, and other moving parts, and tighten them if necessary.   Clearance: Check the clearance of each part, especially the clearance of the inlet and exhaust valves and the pressure reducing mechanism, ensuring they meet the requirements.   Engine Parts: Put each cylinder in the pressure reducing position and turn the crankshaft to check for abnormal sounds in the engine parts. Pump oil into each friction surface and check for any air leakage. Confirm normal compression by shaking the crankshaft.   Fuel Supply System: Check if th...

  Medium Repair of Diesel Generator: Maintenance and Inspection   Regular maintenance is crucial to ensure the optimal performance and longevity of a diesel generator. After approximately six months of operation or reaching a cumulative working time of 1000 hours, it is recommended to perform a medium repair on the diesel generator. In addition to minor repairs, the following key aspects should be addressed:   1. Slip Ring and Brush Device Inspection: Cleaning: Ensure that the contact conductive surfaces of the slip ring (or commutator) and brush device are clean, free from oil, dirt, carbon dust, and in good contact. Use a soft, dry, clean cloth or a cloth slightly dampened with gasoline (or alcohol) to wipe them. Pay special attention to cleaning the brush holder, the root of the slip ring or commutator (under the shoulder of the wire head), and the mica groove. Polishing: If burn marks, blackening, or slight mechanical scratches are observed on the outer surface of th...
