The Impact of Air Quality on 100KW Generator Fuel Consumption

The quality and circulation of air play a crucial role in the fuel consumption of 100KW generator sets. If the air contains excessive impurities, it will cause malfunctions and damages to the 100KW generator set. Therefore, users must pay attention to this during the use of diesel generators.

If a Cummins diesel generator is used indoors, we need to ensure that it has sufficient fresh air. If the generator room is overly airtight, it will lead to poor air circulation. This not only affects the diesel combustion rate of the diesel engine but also reduces the cooling effect of the generator set. When the intake air cooling is insufficient and the heat generated by the set cannot be discharged, the temperature in the generator room will gradually rise to a critical level, resulting in malfunctions. Therefore, generally, windows should not be installed in the generator room. Instead, anti - theft nets can be used to replace glass. Moreover, the height of the windows from the ground should not be too high, as this will also affect the generator set's intake of fresh air.

If customers use indoor, mobile trailer, or silent diesel generator sets, there is no need to worry too much because diesel generator manufacturers have already considered these factors in the design of the generator room. However, attention should be paid when using diesel generator sets outdoors. Some customers use the generator sets outdoors without paying attention to the surrounding environment. Over time, they find that the power of the diesel engine gradually decreases. In fact, this is because the Cummins diesel generator has inhaled a large amount of dirty air, dust, and sand, which has led to the decrease in engine power. If the generator set inhales impurities such as dirt, it will damage the insulation between the stator and rotor gaps. In severe cases, it may even cause the low - noise diesel generator to burn out. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure the environmental quality around the generator set during use or take necessary protective measures to "filter" the air.

The function of the air filter of a diesel generator is to filter out the dust in the air entering the cylinder, ensuring that the engine has enough clean air to mix with fuel for combustion. The engine needs 14 kg of air for every 1 kg of diesel burned. If the dust in the intake air is not filtered out, it will greatly increase the wear of the cylinder, piston, and piston rings. Therefore, it is not allowed to operate the diesel generator set without an air filter or with a defective or damaged one. Dingbo Power, a diesel generator manufacturer, requires that the air filter should have strong filtering ability, low air resistance, a simple structure, and be easy to use and maintain.

A blocked air filter of a diesel generator can cause excessive oil consumption. Due to the lack of attention to cleaning and replacement during the use of the air filter, the safety filter element may be blocked by water and oil stains, resulting in poor intake air. As a result, a large amount of crankcase exhaust gas and oil are sucked into the cylinder, causing excessive oil consumption. Some users do not maintain their vehicles as required, which leads to a severely blocked air filter. Therefore, attention should be paid to cleaning and replacing the air filter element and performing proper maintenance on the diesel generator set.
