What you need to know about generator sets？

Here are some key information you need to know about generator sets:

1、 Definition and Basic Structure
Definition: A generator set is a small power generation device that uses diesel and other fuels to drive the generator to generate electricity through a diesel engine as the prime mover. The entire unit is generally composed of components such as a diesel engine, generator, control box, fuel tank, starting and control battery, protective device, emergency cabinet, etc.
Basic structure:
Diesel engine: As a power source, it is usually composed of components such as cylinder, piston, cylinder head, intake valve, exhaust valve, crankshaft, etc.
Generator: It converts the mechanical energy of a diesel engine into electrical energy, mainly consisting of two types: DC generator and AC generator.

2、 Working principle
The working principle of generator sets is based on the compression ignition of diesel engines and the electromagnetic induction principle of generators. In the cylinder of a diesel engine, clean air filtered by an air filter is fully mixed with high-pressure atomized diesel injected from the fuel injector. Under the upward pressure of the piston, the volume shrinks and the temperature rapidly rises, reaching the ignition point of diesel. After diesel is ignited, the mixed gas burns violently, rapidly expands in volume, pushes the piston down, and then drives the crankshaft to rotate through the connecting rod. The generator utilizes the rotation of the crankshaft to generate electrical energy through the principle of electromagnetic induction.

3、 Characteristics and advantages
Easy to carry: The generator set has a compact structure, making it easy to move and install.
Stable power supply: capable of providing stable power output, suitable for various scenarios that require stable power supply.
High investment cost-effectiveness: Compared to other power generation equipment, generator sets have relatively lower purchase and maintenance costs.
Easy to operate and maintain: Simple to operate, easy to maintain, and reduces the threshold for use.

4、 Main purpose
Daily power supply: suitable for daily electricity needs of households, offices, small and medium-sized enterprises, etc.
Emergency power supply: provides power support as a backup power source in emergency situations such as power outages or natural disasters.

5、 Select key points
Power demand: Select the appropriate rated power according to actual needs to ensure that the generator can meet the power demand of the electrical equipment.
Brand and Quality: Choose well-known brands and high-quality products to ensure the reliability and durability of the generator.
Economy and environmental friendliness: Consider factors such as fuel consumption rate and emission level of the generator, and choose products that are economical and environmentally friendly.
After sales service: Choose a supplier that provides comprehensive after-sales service to obtain timely technical support and maintenance services during use.

6、 Usage and maintenance
Precautions for use:
Before use, check the fuel tank level, cooling system water level, etc. to ensure that the equipment is in good condition.
After starting, it should run at low speed for a period of time until the temperature and oil pressure are normal before starting the operation.
During operation, pay attention to observing instrument readings, temperature, loudness, and other parameters to ensure the normal operation of the equipment.

Maintenance and upkeep:
Regularly clean the outer surface of the generator set set and the outside of the machine room, and check the connection of each component.
Check the fuel level, oil level, etc., and replenish and replace them in a timely manner.
Regularly inspect and replace vulnerable parts such as filters and belts.
Simulate and test the performance of various safety protection devices to ensure that the equipment can operate normally in emergency situations.
Based on the above information, you can have a comprehensive understanding of generator sets in order to make informed decisions during the selection and use process.
