A 600kw Cummins Standby Generator Set Was Exported to the Middle East

In April 2023, a client from the Middle East placed an order for a standby power 600kw diesel generator set and some spare parts. Dingbo Power started to arrange the production after receiving the deposit. After completing production, the product was delivered to the client successfully. Thanks for the client’s trust and support.

This standby generator set is powered by CCEC KTA19-G9A diesel engine, which has a prime power of 600kw and a standby power of 660kw. Diesel KTA19-Series have outstanding durability. As one of the most durable, heavy-duty diesel engines on the market, the KTA19's six-cylinder, in-line configuration delivers excellent combustion efficiency and fuel economy, whilst its added insulation features provide more even coolant flow and better temperature control. Using the highly reliable Step Timing Control (STC) to ensure optimum engine timing for all load and ambient temperature combinations, it offers improved cold starting and reduced fuel consumption.

As required, the genset is equipped with a stand alone type Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) cabinet, which automates the transition between utility and generator power, ensuring reliability, safety, and minimal downtime during outages. This standby power 600kw diesel generator is used as a backup power source during power outages. The main function of an ATS is to automatically transfer the load from the main power source to the generator when there's a power outage. Then, when the main power comes back, it switches back. The ATS Cabinet for a diesel generator automatically switches the power source from main to generator during an outage and back when power is restored, ensuring a seamless power supply with safety mechanisms to prevent issues like paralleling sources.

The client also purchased relevant spare parts for the genset, such as air filters, fuel filters, oil filters, oil by-pass filters, oil-water separators and piston ring sets. Regular maintenance is important for the optimal performance and longevity of diesel generator.

How often should you replace the diesel generator filters?

The main three types of filters of a diesel generator set are oil filter, fuel filter and air filter. They are important components that keep the smooth operation of the genset.

An oil filter cleans engine oil. It is used to remove foreign objects from lubrication oil systems and ensure no unnecessary erosion damage occurs to downstream machinery parts. Generally, the maintenance period for oil and oil filters of smaller gas generators can be 50 to 100 hours. Large diesel generators may require oil and oil filter changes every 500 hours. You should follow the manufacturer’s guidelines to use the oil type and change the oil and oil filters according to the user manual.

A fuel filter is essential for a diesel engine. It is mainly used to prevent any unwanted materials from entering the fuel supply. For purification of diesel fuel either a single filter or a combination of primary and secondary filters are used. Fuel filter replacement intervals can be 250 hours for the first operation and then every 400 to 500 hours after that. The frequency at which fuel filters need to be changed will vary according to the engine model you run and the conditions in which it operate but can be found in your operations and maintenance manual.

An air filter is used to filter solid particulates such as dust, pollen and mould in the air. Air filters can effectively remove contaminants to ensure clean airflow to the engine and optimal performance. Generally, the change frequency of air filter depends on your actual running hours of the diesel generator sets. If you don't put a lot of hours on your generator, replace the air filter annually. If the air quality in the area where the diesel generating set is used is poor, the air filter replacement cycle should be shortened.
