Why is Volvo Generator Oil Transfer Pump Damaged

The function of Volvo diesel generator oil transfer pump is to ensure that a sufficient number of diesel spontaneous combustion oil tanks are delivered to the fuel injection pump, and maintain a certain oil supply pressure to overcome the resistance of pipeline and fuel filter and make diesel circulate in the low-pressure pipeline, so as to ensure the operation of diesel generator. However, the failure of diesel generator oil pump will directly affect the use of diesel generator, We need to repair the diesel generator in time, but first of all, we need to know why the oil transfer pump of Volvo diesel generator is damaged. Today, Dingbo power will talk to you about the oil transfer pump of diesel generator, hoping to help you.

1.Cause of oil transfer pump failure

The external manifestation of Volvo diesel generator oil transfer pump failure is insufficient or no oil supply. The insufficient oil supply of the oil transfer pump will cause the small diesel generator to not work under full load, or only operate under no-load. If the oil transfer pump does not supply oil, the small diesel generator will not start. So what are the reasons for these problems? Let's look at the following.

A.Oil inlet and outlet valves of oil transfer pump

(1) The oil inlet and outlet valves are not tightly closed. Poor sealing of the inlet and outlet valves of the oil transfer pump will make it difficult to exhaust. The inspection method is to blow air at the oil outlet of the oil transfer pump. It should be impassable under normal conditions. If it can be blown through, it means that the oil outlet valve is not sealed; Suction at the oil inlet shall be blocked under normal conditions, otherwise it means that the oil inlet valve is not sealed.

(2) The spring force of oil inlet and outlet valves is insufficient or broken. When the inlet and outlet valve is not elastic enough or broken, it will also lead to the same consequences as lax closing, that is, it will make it difficult to exhaust Volvo diesel generator. We should pay attention to it together.

B. Oil transfer pump piston problem

The problems of the oil pump piston mainly include excessive wear of the oil pump piston, piston jamming, broken piston spring, piston rod jamming, etc. the piston of the oil pump is a very important focus in the oil pump principle. When there is a problem with the piston related components or the piston itself, the force in the oil pump will not play a role correctly, then the work of the oil pump will have a problem.

C. The oil inlet screen of the oil transfer pump is blocked

If the filter screen of the oil inlet pipe joint of the diesel generator oil transfer pump is blocked, there will not be enough fuel delivered to the fuel injection pump, and the cylinder will be cut off and cannot be started. The oil inlet filter screen of the oil transfer pump is a component that filters the diesel of the diesel generator. Generally, it will filter out the impurities in the diesel, so as to provide diesel with high cleanliness for the generator. If it is filtered for a long time without cleaning, the filter screen will be blocked.

2.Troubleshooting of oil transfer pump

A.Pay attention to the inlet and outlet valves

When the fuel injection pump works for a period of time, the wear of the plunger and the working condition of the oil pump can be roughly judged by checking the sealing condition of the oil outlet valve, which is helpful to determine the repair and maintenance methods. During the inspection, unscrew the high-pressure oil pipe joint of each cylinder and pump the oil with the hand of the oil pump. In this case, if the oil pipe joint at the top of the fuel injection pump is found to have oil flowing out, it indicates that the oil outlet valve has poor sealing (of course, this will also happen if the oil outlet valve spring is broken). If the sealing of multiple cylinders is poor, the fuel injection pump shall be thoroughly commissioned and maintained and the coupling parts shall be replaced.

B.Check and replace the piston in time

When it is found that the diesel engine is difficult to start, the power decreases and the fuel consumption increases, and the fuel injection pump and injector are still not improved by adjusting, the plunger and outlet valve coupling of the fuel injection pump shall be disassembled and inspected. If the plunger and outlet valve are worn to a certain extent, they shall be replaced in time and shall not be reused. The losses caused by the wear of the coupling parts, such as difficult starting of the diesel engine, increased fuel consumption and insufficient power, far exceed the cost of replacing the coupling parts. The power and economy of the diesel engine will be significantly improved after replacement. Therefore, the worn coupling parts should be replaced in time.

C.Ensure cleanliness

Generally speaking, the filtering requirements of diesel engine for diesel oil are much higher than those of gasoline engine for gasoline. In use, diesel oil of the required brand shall be selected and precipitated for at least 48 hours. Strengthen the cleaning and maintenance of diesel filter, and timely clean or replace the filter element; Clean the diesel tank timely according to the operating environmental conditions to completely remove the oil sludge and moisture at the bottom of the tank. Any impurities in the diesel will cause serious corrosion or wear to the plunger of the fuel injection pump, outlet valve coupling and transmission components.

D.Check the tightness

When using the diesel generating set oil transfer pump, it must be noted that the relevant switches must be closed tightly. The typical ones are the oil inlet and outlet valve and hand oil pump. When the oil inlet and outlet valve is not closed tightly, it is easy to have exhaust problems, and when the hand oil pump is not closed tightly, it is easy to have insufficient oil supply, This gas and oil will affect the operation of the diesel generator.

These are all the reasons for the damage of the oil transfer pump of Volvo diesel generator and the reasons for the failure of the oil transfer pump summarized by Dingbo power. It can be seen that the main reasons for the failure of the oil transfer pump are the inlet and outlet valve of the oil transfer pump, the piston of the oil transfer pump, the blockage of the oil inlet filter screen of the oil transfer pump, the lax closing of the hand oil pump, the oil volume problem, etc. We need to make specific maintenance measures according to the specific situation, so as to ensure the normal operation of the generator.
