What effects does the reduced load capacity bring to the diesel generator set?

Diesel generator underload or carbon deposition is what happens when the diesel generator is run at a lighter load. Therefore, when the power output of the diesel generator does not match what the application equipment needs, it will not operate at optimal consumption. Always running the diesel generator at a light load instead of what it is designed for can cause problems for your diesel generator, the impact of the reduced load capacity of the diesel generator set.

When this happens, the diesel generator must work harder because it does not reach the temperature required to operate fully. This leads to subsequent wear, strain on the engine and electric glow plugs to maintain efficiency as much as possible. This can also cause soot accumulation and eventually clog the cylinder. If these problems occur, the diesel generator will not be able to operate. More seriously, running the diesel generator at a lighter load can also cause vitrification. This occurs when the operating temperature is not reached, causing any unburned fuel to become a thick draft. This will gradually clog the diesel generator piston rings and destroy the seal. As a result, the combustion exhaust gas slides over the piston rings and when combined with the substance, a hard coating is formed that can quickly destroy the diesel generator.


The main reasons for the decrease in the load capacity of diesel generator sets.

1. The air filter is very dirty and the air intake is insufficient. At this time, it is necessary to clean and replace the new air filter.

2. The diesel filter system is very dirty and the injection volume is insufficient. It needs to be replaced or cleaned.

3. The ignition timing is incorrect and needs to be adjusted.

Some parts will also affect the output power change of diesel generator sets.

Due to the driving force of the diesel generator set at work, many parts rotate at high speed under a certain load, such as piston rods and cylinder sleeves, crankshafts and bearings. Although the surface of these parts is also lubricated to a certain extent, as the running time increases, the contact surface is damaged due to friction, and the original size and geometry are gradually destroyed. This kind of damage is actually inevitable. There is also a certain relationship between the power of the diesel engine and the amount of air and the amount that can be burned. At the same time, the air temperature and ambient humidity will also affect the output power of the diesel engine. The higher the air temperature and the higher the humidity, the lower the efficiency of the diesel engine.
