Maintenance and upkeep of filters
1. The vulnerable parts of the diesel generator set include air filter, oil filter and fuel filter. To extend the service life of the diesel generator set, the maintenance of the air filter, oil filter and fuel filter should be strengthened during use to give full play to their roles. When installing the air filter, it is not allowed to omit, reverse, or install the sealing washers and rubber connecting pipes incorrectly, and ensure the tightness of the embedded parts.
2. The paper dust collector air filter used should be cleaned of dust once every 50-100 hours of operation. The surface dust can be brushed off with a soft bristle brush. If the working time exceeds 500 hours or it is damaged, it should be replaced in a timely manner. Use an oil bath air filter. After every 100-200 hours of operation, clean the filter element with clean diesel and replace the oil inside. If the filter element is broken, it needs to be replaced immediately. Pay attention to adding oil according to regulations during use.
3. All kinds of fuel filters in the fuel supply system should be cleaned once every 100-200 hours, and the fuel tank and all Oil pipeline should be thoroughly cleaned. When cleaning the filter element and seals, special care should be taken and any damage found should be replaced promptly. During seasonal oil changes, all components of the entire fuel supply system should be cleaned. The diesel used should meet seasonal requirements and undergo 48 hours of precipitation purification treatment.
4. If the oil filter is not maintained in time during the use of the diesel generator set, the filter element will be blocked, the oil pressure will increase, the safety valve will open, and the lubricating oil will flow directly into the main oil passage, which will aggravate the wear of the lubricating surface and affect the service life of the diesel generator set. Therefore, the oil filter should be cleaned once every 180 to 200 hours of operation. If damaged, it should be replaced immediately to prevent impurities from entering the lubricating surface.
5. When the diesel generator set is used in different seasons, the crankcase and all lubricating surfaces should also be cleaned by mixing engine oil, kerosene and diesel oil as washing oil. After the engine oil is drained, the washing oil can be added for cleaning. Then, the Diesel generator runs at a low speed for 3-5 minutes. After that, the washing oil is drained and new engine oil is added
