Operating knowledge of diesel generators: Code for safe use of oil

Oil maintains a tight and durable oil film on the surface of diesel generator parts, which is also called oil oiliness. The quality of oil oil directly affects the wear of engine mechanical parts.  Oily lubricating oil can reduce friction to ensure reliable lubrication of machinery, avoid wear and tear of parts, reduce the frequency of failure of machinery and equipment, and some specifications are also called lubricity.  As with any machine equipment, when the engine load increases, the strength of the oil film on the metal surface can not withstand high pressure and be destroyed in the worst case, resulting in dry friction, causing wear and abrasion of the friction surface of the machine, and even sintering phenomenon. The correct use of diesel generator oil will ensure that you benefit from it.

Specification for fuel use in diesel generators.  

1. When the ambient temperature is 5~35℃, 0# and -10# light diesel can be selected, 10# light diesel can also be used in the south, and -20# and -30# light diesel can be used in the northern cold areas in winter.  

2. If the fuel tank is placed outdoors, rain and dust proof measures should be taken.  

3, it is strictly prohibited to use unqualified or not according to the provisions of the use of fuel.  

4, fuel oil can be used 72 hours after precipitation, precipitation time is not less than 24 hours.  

Regulations relating to the use of lubricants for diesel generators.  The main function of lubricating oil of diesel generator is to lubricate moving parts. Lubricating oil forms hydraulic oil film between metal surfaces to avoid direct contact with metal parts and reduce friction. When the oil film is not in direct contact with metal parts, friction will occur, resulting in heat, bonding, metal transfer and other phenomena.  So in the selection of diesel generator oil.  

The following points should be noted:  

1. After the new machine and overhaul, all oil should be changed after 50 hours of operation, and the oil filter and oil cooler should be cleaned or replaced.  

2. Different brands of oil should not be mixed.  

3, the general unit can choose 15W/4℃D grade oil, Yuchai on chai, Perkins Chongqing Cummins and other imported or joint venture diesel units must use SAE15W/40 type, performance grade in line with API, CF-4 grade oil.  

When the generator is in operation for a long period of time, normal wear and tear will occur to the main working parts in any case, so professional inspection is required and maintenance or replacement is necessary.  It is also necessary to change consumables in time (such as oil, filters, etc.).  For each type of equipment, define the working time before maintenance.  

In a word, always choose diesel generator oil strictly according to the instructions.  For some users who choose to use cheap or mixed oil just because it can save the cost, Dingbo Power strongly does not recommend to do so. The later maintenance cost may be far greater than the cost saved, which will cause great damage to the generator.
