Loss Types of Ricardo Diesel Generator Sets

Our company's Ricardo diesel generator sets adopt a new generation of power developed in conjunction with the UK Ricardo Company. They feature low fuel consumption, low noise, low emissions, high torque, easy starting, compact size, high power, high reliability, and convenient operation and maintenance.

Ricardo diesel generators experience certain losses during operation. Dingbo Power, a Guangxi generator set manufacturer, summarizes these losses into five main categories. Let's explore the details:

Five Main Loss Types of Ricardo Diesel Generators

All losses during generator operation are almost manifested in the form of heat.

1.Stator Copper Loss: All losses generated by the stator current flowing through the stator windings.

2.Iron Loss: Losses induced by the generator's magnetic flux in the iron core, mainly including hysteresis loss and eddy current loss caused by the main magnetic flux in the stator core, as well as additional losses.

3.Excitation Loss: Losses occurring in the rotor circuit, primarily the copper loss generated by the excitation current in the excitation circuit.

4.Electrical Additional Loss: This is relatively complex and mainly includes losses caused by end leakage flux in nearby iron components, losses from various harmonic fluxes, and iron losses in the rotor surface induced by tooth harmonics and high-order harmonics.

5.Mechanical Loss: Mainly includes ventilation loss and bearing friction loss.

Other Loss Factors

During the operation of the diesel engine (the power section of Ricardo diesel generator sets), many parts slide or rotate at high speed under a certain load. As working time increases, the surfaces in contact will inevitably wear due to friction, gradually damaging their original dimensions and geometric shapes. This normal wear is often called "natural wear" and is unavoidable. Additionally, air temperature and humidity can affect chemical changes in Ricardo diesel generator sets, which also cause losses.

Since 1982, Dingbo Generator has been a generator set manufacturer qualified by the "National Internal Combustion Engine Quality Supervision and Inspection Center". The product quality has passed the IS09001 quality system standard certification. And obtained the qualification certificate for self-operated import and export. Over the years, Dingbo units have been widely used in all walks of life, and have won the network access qualification of the Ministry of Information Industry, the network access qualification of the Ministry of Radio and Television, the network access qualification of CNPC, the network access qualification of China Mobile, and the manufacturing qualification of marine units. In 2016, Dingbo was awarded the Certificate of Qualified Supplier of China Nuclear Power Group. Dingbo Generator has been cooperating with Shangchai Power for many years. In 2009, it became the OEM partner of Shangchai Power in China. Dingbo generator VOLVO unit ranks the top three in the Asia-Pacific sales volume, and is the core OEM partner of Sweden Volvo in the Asia-Pacific region.
