Detailed Introduction to the Intake and Exhaust Systems of Volvo Diesel Genset

When purchasing a diesel generator, have you understood the structural composition, related performance, and maintenance methods of the diesel generator? Understanding more about diesel generators can extend the life of diesel generators and save maintenance costs. Below, Dingbo Power will introduce you to the intake and exhaust systems of Volvo diesel generators, hoping to be helpful to you.

The intake and exhaust systems of diesel generators provide clean and sufficient fresh air to the cylinders to remove exhaust gas after work. Supercharged diesel engines also further utilize the exhaust gas energy from the cylinders to pre pressurize and cool the air entering the cylinders, thereby increasing the intake air density of the cylinders and achieving the goal of improving diesel power performance and economy. Therefore, the intake and exhaust of a diesel generator is an indicator of its working condition and performance.

What constitutes the intake and exhaust system of a Volvo diesel generator? The intake system of Volvo diesel generator mainly consists of air filter, exhaust turbocharger, intercooler (some engines), intake manifold, air filter maintenance indicator, etc.

The exhaust system of Volvo diesel generators is mainly composed of exhaust pipes, corrugated pipes, elbows, industrial mufflers, or residential mufflers. The muffler and exhaust system work together to reduce noise and directly exhaust the exhaust gas outdoors. The installation of the exhaust system and all accessories is very important for the service life, power output, and other performance indicators of Volvo diesel generators.

The exhaust pipe is made of cast iron. Each row of cylinders in a basic non supercharged diesel generator shares one exhaust pipe. The supercharged diesel generator uses a branch exhaust pipe. The exhaust gas from each row of cylinders is connected to the supercharger through two exhaust branch pipes. The exhaust branch pipe is designed as a combined structure of components and sections, with expansion joints at its connections.

Mufflers are used to reduce the exhaust noise of diesel generators. Basic diesel generators are not equipped with mufflers. The muffler for basic diesel generators with 4 and 6 cylinders is in the form of a dual chamber microporous expansion chamber. After installing the muffler, the output power of the diesel generator should be reduced due to increased exhaust resistance. During installation, the outlet direction of the muffler with a 30 ° slope should be downward to prevent rainwater and foreign matters from falling.

Do you know how to maintain the exhaust system of Volvo generators?

1.Ensure that the intake pipe and air filter of the Volvo generator are installed in place, and ensure that all pipe clamps and joints are tightened (especially the connecting pipe of the intercooler).

2.Check the Volvo generator air filter pressure drop indicator. The air filter should be serviced when the red plunger is positioned in a visible position.

3.Check whether the connectors of the oil pipelines of the Volvo generator oil drain pump, supercharger, and high-pressure oil pump are loose.

Each component of a diesel generator is very important for the service life, power output, and other performance indicators of the genset. Users should fully understand the structural composition and maintenance methods of the genset, which can maximize the performance of the genset, effectively extend the service life of the genset, and reduce operating costs.
