Reasons for Installing Governor on Volvo Diesel Generator Set

When the load of Volvo diesel generator set decreases, its speed increases, and the increase in speed leads to an increase in the circulating fuel supply of the plunger pump, and the increase in circulating fuel supply leads to a further increase in speed. This continues a vicious circle, resulting the speed of Volvo diesel generator engines getting higher and higher, and finally speeds up.

Conversely, when the load of Volvo diesel generator set increases, the speed will decrease, and the decrease in speed will reduce the circulating fuel supply of the plunger pump, and the increase in circulating fuel supply will further reduce the speed, causing the engine speed of Volvo diesel generator set to decrease. And finally turned off.

To change this vicious circle, it is necessary to automatically adjust the fuel supply according to load changes. The automatic control mechanism that makes Volvo diesel generator set diesel engine run stably within the specified speed range. Moving the oil supply lever can change the circulating oil supply, making the speed of the diesel engine basically unchanged.

Therefore, in order for Volvo diesel generator set diesel engines to meet the operating requirements, a governor must be installed. At present, the governors of Volvo diesel generator sets currently used at home and abroad are generally electronic speed governors, but some are mechanical speed governors. The advantage of electronic speed governors is that the throttle can be adjusted automatically, which can save fuel. The mechanical governor, Its throttle is fixed, so the general fuel consumption is relatively higher. General high-power Volvo diesel generator sets use electronic governors.

Dingbo Power was founded in 2006 and is one of the earliest manufacturers of generators and diesel generator sets in China. If you want get more information, please feel free to send email to sales@dieselgeneratortech.com we will pay highly attention on your question.
