The diesel generator set is mainly composed of three parts: diesel engine, generator and control system.
Among them, there are two connection methods between the diesel engine and the generator:
1. Flexible connection, which uses a coupling to connect the two parts.
2. Rigid connection, using high-strength bolts to connect the generator steel connecting piece and the diesel engine flywheel disc.
At present, rigid connections are mostly used for the connection between diesel engines and generators. After the diesel engine and generator are connected, they must be installed on a common chassis and then equipped with various sensors. For example: water temperature sensors, through which the operating status of the diesel generator can be displayed to the operator. With these sensors, an upper limit of water temperature can be set. When the limit value is reached or exceeded, the control system will give an alarm in advance. If the operator does not take measures at this time, the control system will automatically stop the diesel generator set. This is how the unit protects itself.
In fact, the sensors in the diesel generator set only play a role in receiving and feedbacking various information. It is the control system of the unit itself that actually displays these data and performs protection functions.
