  • What causes the temperature of a generator set to be too high

    What causes the temperature of a generator set to be too high

    It is well known that the generator set will generate a very high temperature when it is working. However, if the temperature of the generator set is too high, it is abnormal.  Excessively high temperatures in diesel engines are mainly manifested by abnormally high water temperatures, and the p...

  • How do diesel generator manufacturers choose diesel engine oil

    How do diesel generator manufacturers choose diesel engine oil

    The operation of diesel generators cannot do without engine oil (lubricating oil). Diesel engine oil can well protect the generator set and reduce friction on the unit. The quality of diesel engine oil directly affects the service life of diesel generators. Therefore, the selection and usage of d...

  • Why are generator sets not allowed to operate under small loads

    Why are generator sets not allowed to operate under small loads

    Due to the fact that there are multiple pressure seals inside the engine, these seals usually only fully function when the engine is under about one-third load. When the load is low, there may be slight leakage. Therefore, foreign engine manufacturers generally emphasize this. If the generator se...

  • Tips for starting diesel generator sets when the temperature is too low

    Tips for starting diesel generator sets when the temperature is too low

    As we all know, the operational efficiency of diesel generators is closely related to the environment. When the environment changes, the power of the unit will also vary accordingly, often resulting in the unit being unable to maintain an optimal power condition. Temperature is also one of the ra...
