Reasons for High Coolant Temperature of Generator Set

During the use of the generator set, the coolant temperature is often too high, which will cause damage to the generator set, from parts damage to normal operation of the whole generator set. Looking at all the causes of excessive coolant temperature of the generator set, some of them can be detected and solved by users themselves, and the other part can be solved by professionals.

8. Injection pump fault

Handling method: ask authorized personnel to repair or replace

9. Incorrect fuel supply timing

Processing method: check the fuel injection pump data and ask authorized personnel to repair and adjust

10. Ambient (intake) temperature is too high

Treatment method: maintain the ventilation of the machine room and reasonably reduce the temperature of the machine room

11. Unit overload is serious

Treatment method: control the load and prohibit the unit from overloading for a long time

12. Coolant alarm switch (sensor) or instrument failure
