In modern society, whether in manufacturing or healthcare, or in construction, mining and other industries, standby diesel generators are a critical piece of equipment to ensure normal business operations. Without it, when there is a power outage or blackout in the power grid, all your equipment will stop running, affecting the normal operation of related businesses. Today, all customers are advised to pay attention to the warning signal of generator failure. At the same time, in order to ensure the normal supply of the enterprise, we also recommend that you replace the old generator with a new diesel generator before the old generator is scrapped to ensure a stable and reliable supply of power. . The following 6 warning signals of diesel generator sets should be paid attention to: the generator set may be overhauled:
1. The generator does not start
When your diesel generator fails to start properly after repeated attempts, it is a diesel generator failure. Repairs are still available, and many other potential reasons for a generator not starting should be explored before purchasing a new generator.
2. The generator has been used for too long
Most backup generators are capable of 1,000 to 10,000 hours of operation. Once this threshold is reached, the generator is nearing the end of its useful life.
3. The frequency of generator maintenance is getting higher and higher
Diesel generators are also a consumable item. After a long time of use, there will inevitably be some problems that need to be repaired. Regular maintenance and unscheduled repairs are required. However, if one problem turns into another, and then another, it’s time for your generator to be overhauled. Buying a new generator at this point is better than spending more time and money fixing a faulty system. The performance of a diesel generator is good or bad, although it has a great relationship with the quality of the diesel generator itself, but the user’s habit of operating the diesel generator on a daily basis also has a great impact. When there is a good operating standard, it is equivalent to maintaining the diesel generator. If the operation is often violated when using the diesel generator, and the wear and tear of the diesel generator is very large, then it is causing loss to the diesel generator. Time The long time will naturally cause some failures of the diesel generator, and the frequency of maintenance will be very high!
4. Carbon monoxide emissions from generator sets are increasing
All backup generators emit varying levels of carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxide emissions are increasing, possibly due to the high temperature oxidation of the engine’s exhaust gas, which leads to leaks in the exhaust system.
5. Consistency is gone
When the light starts flashing and the appliance has not been protected from damage.
6. The engine consumes more diesel
Generators that suddenly start consuming more diesel are sending a signal that they are running less efficiently. This happens because a mechanical part fails.
