How long is the service life of diesel generator sets? How to extend the life of the unit?

May 17, 2022
In fact, it is difficult to have an exact number for how many years a diesel generator set can be used. JUNVOCH reminds everyone that the service life of a diesel generator set is related to the brand, frequency of use, use environment, and maintenance of the generator set. Under normal circumstances, Diesel generator sets can be used for 10 years without problems.
 
The service life of diesel generator sets is one of the most concerned issues for users. In fact, it is difficult to have an exact number for how many years a diesel generator set can be used. Tingbo Electric reminds everyone that the service life of diesel generator sets and the brand of the unit , The frequency of use, the environment of use, and maintenance are all related. Under normal circumstances, the diesel generator set can be used for 10 years without problems. If the user can pay attention to the following matters, the service life of the diesel generator set can be effectively extended.
 
1. To prolong the life of diesel generator sets, we need to understand the wearing parts of diesel generator sets. Such as three filters: air filter, oil filter and diesel filter. In the process of use, we must strengthen the maintenance of the three filters.
 
2. The oil of diesel generator sets plays a lubricating role, and the oil also has a certain shelf life. Long-term storage will change the performance of the oil, so the lubricating oil of diesel generator sets must be replaced regularly.
 
3. We should also clean the water pump, water tank and water pipeline regularly. Failure to clean for a long time will lead to poor water circulation and reduced cooling effect, resulting in the failure of the diesel generator set. Especially when using diesel generator sets in winter, we must add antifreeze or install water heaters under low temperature conditions.
 
4. It is recommended that we pre-deep the diesel before adding the diesel of the diesel generator set. Generally, after 96 hours of precipitation, the diesel can remove 0.005 mm of particles. When refueling, be sure to filter, and do not shake the diesel to prevent impurities from entering the diesel engine.
 
5. Do not overload the diesel generator set. It is easy to emit black smoke when the diesel generator set is overloaded. This is the phenomenon that the fuel of the diesel generator set is not fully burned. Overload operation will shorten the life of the diesel generator set parts.
 
6. We should check the machine from time to time to ensure that problems are found and repaired in time.
