Before using a diesel generator, it is necessary to check the engine oil, coolant, cables, circuit breakers, control systems and other items. If there is a problem with any part of the diesel generator, it will affect the safe operation of the entire machine, so it is necessary to inspect the machine before use. Insufficient oil in the diesel generator will cause the machine to run under load, which will increase friction between engine parts and lead to failure over time.
The role of engine oil in diesel generators:
(1) Lubricating effect
If the diesel generator is running, friction will occur in the internal parts. The faster the speed, the more intense the friction will be. The first function of engine oil is to use an oil film to cover the internal metal surfaces of the engine to reduce the frictional resistance between metals.
(2) Heat dissipation effect
In addition to the cooling system, the heat dissipation of the diesel generator itself also plays an important role, because the oil will flow throughout the interior of the engine and can take away the heat generated by the friction of the parts. The piston part that is far away from the cooling system, Some cooling effect can also be obtained via engine oil.
(3) Cleaning effect
The carbon and combustion residues produced by the long-term operation of the diesel generator engine will adhere to various places inside the engine. If not properly treated, it will affect the function of the engine. The oil itself has a cleaning and dispersing effect, which prevents these carbon and residues from accumulating inside the engine, allowing them to form small particles and be suspended in the oil.
