Diesel generator hard to start

The so-called start-up problems refer to the diesel generator set at room temperature 5 ℃ higher than three or more consecutive start still does not start the machine start-up difficulties.

 1 diesel generator battery charge is low or the battery capacity is inadequate in itself at first, resulting in the incapability to start the boot case. analysis: the use of the car on the control panel shows the dash lights display or use a multimeter for difficult, as is the case in the deficiency of a multimeter, you can be playing, listening to the sound size, small voice or no voice , good wiring based on the lack of battery power or can be measured without electricity, or the headlights of the car, to see the brightness concentration to judge, or using the battery positive position flashover spills raise the judge , as a spark is weak, the lack of battery power, the battery should be charged at the time of dispensation;

Power by Dongfeng/Chongqing Cummins diesel generator set, it enjoys the features of high dependability , easy preservation, long permanent running hours and ideal for port, railway, industrial and mining. As the largest foreign investor in China’s Engine industry, Cummins owned Dongfeng Cummins Engine Co, Ltd which mainly produce B, C, L series and Chongqing Cummins Engine Co, Ltd which mainly produce M, N, K series in agreement with the Cummins global quality standards in China. The global service net of Cummins can make available our customers with reliable and definite service.

The packaged grouping of a diesel engine, a originator and various ancillary devices (such as base, canopy, sound attenuation, control systems, circuit breakers, jacket water heaters and starting system) is referred to as a ”generating set” or a ”genset“ for short.

Set sizes range from 8 to 30 kW (also 8 to 30 kVA single phase) for homes, small shops & offices with the larger industrial generators from 8 kW (11 kVA) up to 2,000 kW (2,500 kVA three phase) used for large office complexes, factories. A 2,000 kW set can be housed in a 40 ft (12 m) ISO container with fuel tank, controls, power distribution equipment and all other equipment needed to operate as a standalone power station or as a standby backup to grid power. These units, referred to as power modules are gensets on large triple axle trailers weighing 85,000 pounds (38,555 kg) or more. A grouping of these modules are used for small power stations and these may use from one to 20 units per power section and these sections can be mutual to involve hundreds of power modules. In these larger sizes the power module (engine and generator) are brought to site on trailers separately and are connected together with large cables and a control cable to form a complete synchronized power plant.

Diesel generators, sometimes as small as 200 kW (250 kVA) are widely used not only for emergency power, but also many have a secondary function of feeding power to utility grids either during peak periods, or periods when there is a shortage of large power generators.

Ships often also employ diesel generators, sometimes not only to provide auxiliary power for lights, fans, and winches, etc. but also indirectly for main propulsion. With electric propulsion the generators can be placed in a convenient position, to allow more cargo to be carried. Electric drives for ships were developed prior to WW I. Electric drives were specified in many warships built during WW II because manufacturing capacity for large reduction gears was in short supply, compared to capacity for manufacture of electrical equipment.[1] Such a diesel-electric arrangement is also used in some very large land vehicles such as railroad locomotives.
