Briefly describe the working principle of diesel generator sets
What is the power generation principle of a diesel generator set? Now let me briefly explain it from the operation of several components.
A diesel generator set is a device that converts diesel fuel into electrical energy. The following will provide a detailed analysis of the working principle of diesel generator sets:
Fuel supply system
The fuel supply system of a diesel generator set mainly includes components such as a fuel tank, fuel filter, fuel pump, and fuel injector. Firstly, fuel is drawn from the fuel tank into the fuel filter for filtration. The filtered fuel is lifted into the high-pressure fuel circuit by the fuel pump and enters the injector for atomization and injection.
Air intake system
The air intake system of diesel generator set mainly consists of intake duct, intake filter, turbocharger and other parts. Air enters the engine from the intake duct, passes through the intake filter, enters the turbocharger for boosting, increases the intake pressure, and finally enters the engine.
engine
The engine of a diesel generator set is an internal combustion engine composed of cylinders, pistons, crankshafts, valves, injectors, and other components. When the piston inside the engine undergoes reciprocating motion, it drives the generator to rotate through the crankshaft, generating electrical energy.
Fuel combustion
Fuel is atomized into small particles through fuel injectors, mixed with air to form gas. The gas burns in the cylinder, producing high-temperature and high-pressure gas that pushes the piston downwards and drives the generator to rotate through the crankshaft.
Cooling system
The high-temperature combustion inside the engine generates a large amount of heat, which needs to be dissipated through a cooling system to ensure that the temperature inside the engine is not too high. The cooling system consists of radiators, water pumps, coolant, and other components.
lubrication system
Lubricating oil is needed inside the engine to reduce friction and wear between components. The lubrication system includes components such as oil tank, oil pump, oil filter, and lubricating oil.
Control system
The control system of a diesel generator set mainly consists of an electronic control system and a mechanical control system. The electronic control system is responsible for the automation control of the engine, including the automatic control of diesel power, voltage, current and other parameters, so that the generator set can meet the working requirements normally.
The above is just a simple explanation of the working principle of diesel generator sets. For more detailed information, please refer to other articles.
