How to ensure that the diesel generator set can continue to function in the long term?

June 17, 2022
Diesel generator sets are an important piece of power generation equipment for manufacturing companies, which can ensure that the company can continue to supply power in the event of power outages for whatever reason, so that the company can operate normally. Therefore, it is vital to find ways to ensure that diesel generator sets can continue to function in the long term.
 
Avoid using non-genuine parts
 
While using non-genuine parts may seem like a great way to save money, it can backfire and damage your diesel generator in the long run. Diesel generators, like internal combustion engines, are highly tuned kits. Installing parts that deviate slightly from the manufacturer's original specifications can result in huge repair bills and unreliable power generation when you finally turn on the power.
 
Change diesel fuel regularly
 
Regularly changing the oil in your diesel generator is essential. Generators can consume a lot of oil to keep their internal components running smoothly. However, regular operation can cause the oil to degrade slowly over time. Therefore, it is critical to change the oil regularly to meet specifications according to the manufacturer's recommendations.
 
Perform regular battery tests
 
Many diesel generators require batteries to start, just like the internal combustion engine in a car. However, these batteries can be unstable. Therefore, it is recommended that you test your battery regularly to ensure that it has enough charge to start your diesel engine in an emergency. Charge the battery intermittently by turning on the generator and, if possible, clean the surrounding area to prevent degradation of contaminants.
 
Perform a general inspection
 
Diesel generators are complex mechanical components with dozens of moving parts and critical components. During a general inspection of a diesel generator, check the DC electrical system, exhaust and fuel intake. By regularly checking for hazards and using genuine replacement parts, you can ensure that your diesel generator will work longer.
 
To keep the diesel generator set always in good running condition, users should not slack off in normal times, and should carry out regular maintenance as described above, in order to ensure that the diesel generator set can start quickly in case of power failure and provide stable power for enterprises.
