The task of the lubrication system for Cummins generator sets is to send clean and temperature appropriate lubricating oil to each surface under a certain pressure for lubrication, forming a certain oil film layer between two friction surfaces to avoid dry friction, reduce friction resistance, reduce mechanical wear, and reduce power consumption, thereby improving the reliability and durability of Cummins generator set operation.

After long-term use, the lubrication system of the Cummins generator set may corrode due to various reasons. At this time, it is necessary to thoroughly clean these stains. The next step is how to properly clean the lubrication system of the Cummins generator set.

Alkaline metal cleaning agent circulation cleaning: Due to the dirt in the lubrication system of Cummins generator sets, such as the tar condensate deposited on the inner walls of oil passages in high-temperature parts such as cylinder blocks, crankshafts, and connecting rods, it is difficult to clean them thoroughly. Therefore, when cleaning steel lubrication systems, it is generally required that the cleaning agent water has a specific pH of 12.5-13 and a temperature of 70-90 ℃. Soak the descaling components in a cleaning agent solution for 1-3 hours during cleaning until the tar deposits soften. Then connect the connector of the cleaner pipeline and start the pressure pump for cyclic cleaning.

Gasoline soaking cleaning: The lubrication system of the Cummins generator set is decomposed into fuel tanks, oil pumps, filters, radiators, pipelines, cylinder blocks, crankshafts, etc. The decomposed components are immersed in gasoline for a certain period of time, usually at room temperature for more than 8 hours. This way, some components of the condensate are dissolved in gasoline, and then brushed off with a nylon brush or metal wire. The dirt in the pipelines can be cleaned with a pipe Manual cleaning or gasoline flushing.
