When do we need to change the oil of the diesel generator? In response to this issue, the following five scenarios are given:
1. During installation and generator running in period
Many industrial diesel generators do not contain any oil during transportation. After undergoing the running in process, industrial diesel generators need to change oil because unwanted particles (such as debris) are likely to enter the generator system and have a negative impact on the oil flow of the generator.
2. After a major malfunction occurs
Many problems related to industrial diesel generator failures are caused by oil system failures. If your oil is contaminated and the generator motor cannot perform at its best, you may encounter power spikes or other interruptions. Therefore, if you encounter any type of malfunction, make sure to test the oil and investigate whether it is "dirty" or contaminated (such as filled with debris). In addition, check the filter of the industrial diesel generator to see if it filters the oil correctly. If you are certain that the oil is actually very dirty, please replace the oil immediately to prevent any further malfunctions.
3. After a large amount of leakage
If the oil level in your industrial diesel generator reaches a level that makes it unsafe for further operation, the generator should automatically shut down. If this situation occurs, it may be a powerful indicator of severe leakage in your industrial diesel generator. Therefore, it is recommended that you repair the leak as soon as possible. After repairing the leak, it is also important to change the oil. This is to ensure that no harmful substances or pollutants enter the industrial diesel generator system and to flush them out before the generator continues to operate.
4. After extensive use of the generator
Regardless of the reason, the oil of the generator should be replaced after prolonged use. This may be due to increased production requirements or more frequent national grid failures, forcing you to rely more frequently on industrial diesel generators. The important reason for replacing the oil of industrial diesel generators after long-term use is that it can help the engine run smoothly and effectively.
5. Regularly replace according to the manufacturer's recommendations
To prevent engine failure due to oil related reasons, you should replace the oil at specific time intervals. To ensure compliance with this regulation, it is recommended that you track and document the oil change plan. Manufacturers also recommend pushing industrial diesel generators beyond their specified limits, which may cause pressure on the oil system and should be avoided as much as possible.
