Seven points of maintenance and three points of repair, is the law of customers recognized maintenance of Chongqing Cummins generator set, but many check-in personnel are prone to misunderstandings in diesel generator oil. Some habits look like careful care, but it is a “time bomb”, today Chongqing generator manufacturers to talk about diesel generator “oil” those things.
Myth 1: Oil with expensive good, damage: 75%
Generator set lubricating oil is not the more expensive the better to use, we should fully understand the diesel generator, generator model and other information before choosing oil, different generator sets are suitable for different grades of oil. In API quality grade classification, diesel engine oil can be roughly divided into CA, CB, CC, CD, CE, CF, CF-4, CG-4, CH-4, CI-4, CJ-4, CK-4, etc. (-4 indicates that this grade of oil is suitable for four-stroke diesel generators).
In addition to the quality grade, the viscosity of oil is also an important indicator to consider. When customers choose oil, they should take into account the recommended viscosity of the generator model, the actual use and regional temperature, and choose the right oil.
Misunderstanding two: no habit of changing lubricating oil, damage: 60%
Many customers are used to adding lubricating oil directly, thinking that it can be added to a fixed scale, ignoring the deterioration of lubricating oil after a period of time, so it needs to be completely replaced.
The performance of oil can increase as use time and attenuation, there is certain consumption on the number. If continue to use, may cause generator parts wear. Generator set even in the case of no use, we recommend 1 year with a change, if cummins generator set use frequency is high, then we recommend at least half a year to replace. The oil change cycle refers to the specification, quality grade and manufacturer’s maintenance manual, and customers should replace the lubricating oil according to the regulations.
Myth three: add oil “the more the better”, damage: 70%
When some customers heard that a lower amount of oil loss could harm the generator, they simply filled it up. As everyone knows, it is not advisable to add more oil than the standard. Generally, the height of adding oil should be slightly lower than the dipstick scale. If the standard value is exceeded, the extra part of the oil “mixed” into the combustion chamber, it will cause the phenomenon of burning oil, in this case, not only the less oil is used, but also accelerate the formation of carbon accumulation in the combustion chamber.
The diesel generator currently uses CF-4 and CH-4 grade oil more, this oil has good oil resistance performance, and oil life is long, suitable for heavy load diesel generator set. Suitable for turbocharged diesel generators requiring ch-4 (including CF-4, CE) grade diesel engine oil; It is especially suitable for bulldozers, excavators, mining equipment and generator sets under harsh conditions. Can be used in a variety of diesel diesel generator sets without EGR technology.
Jiangsu Meao Power Technology Co., Ltd. focuses on the development and manufacture of diesel generator sets, and has accumulated rich experience in manufacturing and service in this field. As a professional generator manufacturer, MEAOPOWER attaches great importance to product development, innovation and service quality, and maintains close strategic cooperation with famous domestic and international enterprises such as Cummins, Perkins, Doosan, Yuchai, Weichai, Shangchai, Wuxi Wandi, Lillesomer, Stanford, Marathon and so on.
