What are the functions of diesel generator oil?

Before using the diesel generator, the operator must check the oil, coolant, cables, circuit breakers, control systems and other items. If there is a problem with a certain item, it will affect the safe operation of the diesel generator. Therefore, the diesel generator before use. Inspection is necessary. For example, the amount of oil will directly cause the diesel generator to leave a hidden danger of failure. If the amount of oil is insufficient, the load operation will increase the friction between the engine parts, which will lead to failures over time.

(1) Lubrication

As long as the diesel generator is in a running state, the internal parts will generate friction. The faster the speed, the more intense the friction. For example, the temperature of the piston part can be as high as more than 200 degrees Celsius. At this time, if there is no oil In the presence of diesel generators, the temperature would be so high that it would burn the entire engine out. The first function of oil is to use the oil film to cover the metal surface inside the engine to reduce the frictional resistance between the metals.

(2) Heat dissipation

In addition to the cooling system, the heat dissipation of the diesel generator itself also plays an important role, because the oil will flow through the engine and take away the heat generated by the friction of the parts, and the piston part far from the cooling system, Some cooling effect can also be obtained via the oil.

(3) Cleaning effect

The carbon and combustion residues produced by the diesel generator engine's long-term operation will adhere to the interior of the engine. If it is not properly treated, it will affect the function of the engine, especially if these things accumulate on the piston rings and the intake and exhaust. Doors, etc., will produce carbon deposits or sticky substances, causing knocking, stumbling, and increased fuel consumption. These phenomena are the enemy of the engine. The oil itself has a cleaning and dispersing effect, which can prevent these carbon and residues from accumulating inside the engine, allowing them to form small particles and suspend in the oil.
