Most users have never heard of the term carbon deposits in diesel generator sets. Today, I will explain to you the concept of carbon deposits in diesel generator sets, the causes of this phenomenon, and how to deal with and solve this problem.
The so-called carbon deposits in diesel generators are actually the product of incomplete combustion of diesel and oil that leaks into the combustion chamber. It is a common phenomenon that carbon deposits are generated on the top of the diesel engine piston, the combustion chamber wall and around the valve.
A large amount of carbon deposits will have a certain impact on the performance of diesel generator sets. Its final manifestation is: poor combustion, worse heat transfer and reduced reliability of injector operation.
There are many reasons for carbon deposits in generator sets, among which there are 6 common situations:
1. Abnormal operation of the injector, such as poor atomization, oil dripping, too high or too low injection pressure, too early or too late injection time, and too much injection, will cause incomplete combustion of part of the fuel.
2. Serious oil leaks.
3. Serious air leakage.
4. The cooling water temperature is too low, affecting the normal combustion of the fuel.
5. The diesel and engine oil are of incorrect brands and poor quality, resulting in carbon slag after combustion.
6. The diesel engine is overloaded or the temperature is too high, igniting too early, causing incomplete combustion of the fuel.
