Will the Yuchai Genset Be Broken If it is Not Used For A Long Time

Oct. 22, 2021

Speaking of standby diesel generators, the purpose is to "reserve soldiers for a thousand days and use them for a while." Therefore, after most diesel generator sets are purchased, many are used as backup. If the mains power supply is normal, the Yuchai diesel generator set is basically not used and will be idle for a long time.

 

Will this reduce the service life? Certainly it will have some impact. Just like a car you bought and left it at home for a long time, it will not be able to drive. In the same way, the standby diesel generator set breaks down, mostly because the diesel generator set has been in a static state for a long time, and the various materials of the set itself will undergo complex chemical and physical changes with oil, cooling water, diesel, and air.

 

1. The filtering capacity of the filter of the standby diesel generator set is reduced.

Diesel generator set filters filter diesel, engine oil or water to prevent impurities from entering the body. Therefore, the filter plays an important role in protection during the operation of the set. However, these oil stains or impurities will slowly deposit on the wall of the filter screen, resulting in a decrease in the filter capacity of the filter, and in serious cases, the oil path will be blocked. In this case, the diesel generator set will be shocked due to the lack of oil supply (as if a person lacks oxygen). Therefore, in order to ensure the normal operation of diesel generator sets, Zhengchi Power Diesel Generator Set recommends to customers to replace the three filters every 500 hours for common units and replace the three filters every two years for standby units.

 

2. The water circulation of the cooling system of the standby diesel generator set is not smooth.

The water pump, water tank and water pipeline have not been cleaned for a long time, resulting in poor water circulation and decreased cooling effect. If the cooling system fails, it will cause the following consequences: 1. The diesel generator set has poor cooling effect, and the water temperature in the unit is too high, resulting in shutdown; 2. It will cause the water tank of the diesel generator set to leak, the water level in the water tank will drop, and the unit will not work normally.

Therefore, even if it is a backup generator set, it must be maintained regularly. You may have to ask, what is the significance of the usual maintenance and maintenance of diesel generator sets?

1. Diesel generator set is used as a backup power source, self-provided power source, and emergency power source. It is needed to provide power in time when people need it. If it can’t be started when needed, it loses its meaning, even if it is diesel power generation. No matter how low the unit price is, it is also a waste. Practice has proved that strengthening maintenance is an effective way to ensure that the generator set can supply power in time.

2. When the unit is not in use or in use for a long time, all parts of the unit, diesel, oil, and cooling water will undergo certain qualitative changes or wear. This also requires maintenance to restore the normal state of various components and consumables;

3. A generator set that has been put on hold for a long time requires maintenance even if the price of the generator set is high. For example, if the starting battery is left unmaintained for a long time, the electrolyte is not replenished in time after volatilization, or the floating charger requires manual operation, and the operator neglects the regular operation, these will cause the battery power to fail to meet the requirements.
