Diesel generator maintenance principles

2024-04-21

1. When a diesel generator malfunctions, the first step is to check possible faulty parts unrelated to the electronic control system to avoid unnecessary complex checks. This approach helps to quickly locate the real point of failure, saving time and effort.

2. Initially, use simple and intuitive methods to inspect potential faulty areas, such as observing, touching, and listening to quickly identify obvious issues. If these methods do not reveal the fault, then consider using instruments or specialized tools for further diagnosis.

3. Considering the specific structure and operating environment of diesel generators, certain malfunctions are often related to specific components or assemblies. Therefore, it is advisable to first check these common fault areas. If the issue is not found, proceed to systematically inspect other potential sources of failure to efficiently resolve the issue.

4. Electronic control systems typically have self-diagnostic functions that store fault codes and alert the driver through warning lights. After addressing the problems indicated by the fault codes, if the issue persists or no fault codes are output, further inspection of other potential faulty areas is necessary.

5. When a malfunction occurs, start by analyzing the fault, understanding possible causes, and then conduct targeted inspections to avoid blindly investigating irrelevant areas while ensuring that crucial components are not overlooked.

6. The performance of electronic control system components and the status of electrical circuits are often judged by parameters such as voltage or resistance, making it crucial to have relevant maintenance data. By collecting and organizing data from maintenance manuals, professional publications, and utilizing parameter measurement records from fault-free generator units, the efficiency and accuracy of system fault checks can be enhanced.
