Since the procurement of diesel generator sets is mostly for emergency or standby, it is necessary to ensure that the generator sets can be used “on the fly”. And how can we guarantee “use it”? This requires inspection and preparation before the diesel generator set is started. I hope this article helps.
First of all, before starting the diesel generator set, it is necessary to check whether the diesel engine parts are normal, and is the connection of each accessory reliable? For example, all the joints of the intake pipe and the cooling water pipe must be tightened; then, check whether the amount of engine coolant is sufficient. When it is insufficient, it should be filled up. Also check whether the lubricating oil level in the oil pan of the generator set is specified. Position; and check whether the diesel in the fuel tank is sufficient, whether the connection of each line of the starting system is correct, and whether the battery is sufficient…
After performing a series of checks, the other thing to do is to use the hand pump on the fuel pump to inject fuel into the fuel system and loosen the bleed screw on the fuel pump (or unscrew the fuel filter). The bleed screw plug on the upper part to remove the air in the fuel system until the fuel flowing out from the venting area is free of air bubbles. Then tighten the bleeder screw or the bleed screw plug, and then continue to pump the oil by hand pump until the return pipe has oil return, and then tighten the hand pump.
However, it is also reminded that for new, overhauled engines or diesel generator sets that have been unused for more than 5 days, the crankshaft should be turned 3 to 5 revolutions before starting. For turbocharged engines, the oil inlet pipe must be removed first, and 50-60 ml of clean lubricating oil is added to lubricate the bearings. Then replace the oil inlet pipe.
It is emphasized here that for those diesel generator sets that are normally parked and used only for emergency use, in order to ensure timely start-up, during the parking period, the test run should be started every 3~5 days, and the water temperature and oil temperature should be reached. Above 60 ° C, while ensuring that the room temperature of the equipment room is not lower than 10 ° C.
Finally, is your diesel generator set ready?
