Fuel Saving Skills of Diesel Generator Set

The fuel consumption of electric generator is generally affected by its own fuel consumption rate and load. Generally, for diesel generator set of the same brand and model, the fuel consumption is higher when the load is larger, and vice versa when the load is smaller. But this is not absolute. To reduce the fuel consumption of diesel generator set, the unit can operate at about 80% of the rated load, Long time low load operation will increase fuel consumption, even damage the unit, so we must correctly treat the relationship between fuel consumption and load of diesel generator set.

In addition, the factors that affect the oil consumption of diesel generator set are unit failure. If the diesel generator set fails, no matter the size of the failure, it will reduce the operation of the diesel generator set and increase the oil consumption.Therefore, it is an effective way to reduce the fuel consumption of diesel generator set to maintain the diesel generator set seriously and repair the problem immediately. In addition, in order to save fuel, the following points should be done.

1. Keeping the best valve clearance is one of the basic factors of saving oil.

If the valve clearance of the diesel engine is not correct, the intake air will not be sufficient and the exhaust air will not be clean, which will inevitably cause the excessive air coefficient of the diesel engine to be too small and lead to the incomplete combustion of fuel.The results not only lead to the diesel engine power shortage, black smoke and other operational failures, but also significantly increase the fuel consumption. Therefore, it is necessary to check the valve clearance regularly.

2. Avoid oil leakage of diesel engine.

There is oil leakage or leakage in the fuel system, which may not be serious at first, but it will cause a lot of fuel loss over time.

3. Make sure that the cylinder assembly is always in mating operation.

If the cylinder components are worn and the cylinder compression pressure is reduced, the fuel combustion environment will become worse, which will significantly increase the fuel consumption of diesel generator set.

4. Change the practice of "big horse pulling small car".

Many equipment have the practice of "big machine with small load", which is a waste of energy. The improvement method is to increase the belt pulley of diesel engine properly, and increase the speed of equipment when the diesel engine is running at a reduced speed, so as to increase the power and save energy.

5. Check and maintain the air filter element regularly.

If the air filter element is too dirty, the intake air of the diesel generator set will be insufficient, and the result will be the same as that of the incorrect valve clearance, which will also lead to the increase of fuel consumption, insufficient power and black smoke of the diesel engine.
