How To Prevent And Save Fuel And Money For Cummins Generators?

To prevent and save fuel and money for Cummins generators should be as follows:

1. The unit should be kept clean and free from water leakage, oil leakage, air leakage, and electricity leakage (four leakages). The components on the unit should be intact, the wiring should be firm, the instrumentation should be complete, the instructions should be accurate, and there should be no loose screws.

2. Before starting the machine, check whether the lubricating oil, cooling water, and diesel are sufficient, insufficient or deteriorated, and should be added or replaced in time. Generally, the machine runs for 250 hours to change the oil and 50 hours to clean the air filter. Other maintenance regulations are in accordance with the requirements of the user manual and regulations.

3. The starting battery should always be in a stabilized floating charge state, and the charging voltage and electrolyte level should be checked monthly.

4. The temperature of the generator unit room is not lower than 5℃, and the heater should be turned on to heat the unit.

5. When the generator set is in operation, assign a dedicated person on duty to observe the operation of the generator set, add cooling water and fuel regularly, and pay special attention to the temperature, sound, vibration and instrument indications of the generator set during operation. If abnormalities are found, stop immediately an examination.

6. In order to ensure the stable, economical operation of the generator set and the qualified and stable output power quality, do not open and close the load at will during operation.

7. Although diesel has a high ignition point, it is still a flammable and explosive substance, and it must be added during shutdown. A large amount of toxic exhaust gas will be generated during the operation of a diesel generator set. When the generator set is placed in the base station to generate electricity, the operator should not only pay attention to the ventilation and exhaust of the generator set, and do not leave it in the engine room for a long time during power generation to avoid personal injury.

8. When the generator set is running at high speed, there are high-speed running parts, do not approach the flywheel, belt, connecting shaft side or stand in the direction of the longitudinal line of the Cummins generator set to avoid flying objects injuring people.

9. No-load test machine once every half a month, and once half a year with load test machine, timely check the unit’s lubricating oil, fuel, water level and battery.
