How to maintain the Cummins diesel generator set when it is down?

Diesel generator set maintenance downtime diesel generating set is case of emergency equipment, mostly in a stop state, at ordinary times too long stop the opportunity to influence the performance of the generator set, increase the difficulty of the generator set maintenance, and therefore, diesel generating sets down state maintenance includes the following points, hoping to bring help to the user.

1. If the diesel engine is out of service for more than 14 days, the diesel engine should be started once every 14 days, so that the diesel engine is turned to warm up, and check the battery power, according to the requirements of conventional charging.

2. Oil level check Engine dipstick is marked with two marks, high/low. The oil level should be within the range marked on the dipstick. Remember that the oil level must not be lower than the line marked on the dipstick.

3. Coolant level check: coolant should be filled to the edge of the water pipe or lower than the sealing edge of the water nozzle cover about 4-5 mm. There must be air space to allow coolant expansion.

4. In order to protect the engine from corrosion, 1/2 liter of antifreeze or corrosion inhibitor should be added to the coolant every 400 hours of operation.

5 diesel generator shutdown maintenance should start from lubricating oil level, coolant level inspection.

6. Clean or replace the filter regularly to achieve the purpose of purification. Clear carbon deposition, prevent spontaneous combustion kilowatt diesel generators used for a long time, there will be polymer attached to the valve valve seat nozzle and the top. These carbon combustion, oil consumption, should be removed in time. Keep the water warm to prevent waste. If the water temperature is too low, diesel will not burn completely, which will waste diesel. Therefore, maintaining a certain water temperature is also good to save fuel. Conventional operation does not overload kilowatt diesel generators when overloaded operation will emit black smoke, which is not fully burned fuel emissions. As long as the machine often smoke, it will increase fuel consumption, but also shorten the service life of parts.
