Cummins Power Generation Engine Introduction and Operation

Cummins Product Introduction

Provide customers with a complete set of power packs suitable for generator set application. All power pack components are designed and validated in accordance with Cummins design and development standards. The products include:

 

Cooling system: mainly include radiator and pipe assembly. Provide customers with radiators suitable for high temperature, extreme cold, high altitude, high corrosion and other special environments.

 

Speed control system: mainly include speed controllers and ECM electronics control module. Provide customers with a variety of speed regulation schemes to meet the operating requirements of different levels of power station.

 

Air intake system: mainly include air filter and its pipelines. Twin-stage filter element is adopted and the filtration effectively is up to 99.5%, which can prevent the abnormal engine wear and provide customers products suitable for the special environment of high altitude, high dust and high humidity.

 

Proper Use of the Engine

1. Ensure engine operation environment is safe and reliable, and the components are tightly connected.

 

2. Check coolant level, oil gauge, and discharge water from oil-water separator for the first time.

 

3. Make sure there is no interference damage to the belt fan and no abnormality in the inlet and exhaust system.

 

4. The start-up time of the starter should not exceed 15 seconds, and the continuous start should be separated by 2 minutes. If the engine fails to start three times in succession, the fuel system should be checked first.

 

5. After starting, observe the change of oil pressure within 15 seconds. If the oil pressure does not show up within 15 seconds or the pressure value is lower than 69 kPa, shut down immediately to avoid engine damage.

 

6. After the first start of each day, the engine should be warmed up at a low speed for 3-5 minutes. When the temperature is below 0°C, the engine must be warmed up to ensure sufficient lubrication of engine parts and stable oil pressure.

 

7. Start the engine after passing the inspection.

 

Correct Operation of the Engine

1. Do not make the engine idle too long, idling too long (more than five minutes) may damage the engine.

2. Check oil pressure, cooling temperature and other engine parameters through the control panel of the genset to ensure that the engine is working properly. If there is alarm information on the panel, please take measures to correct the alarm status.

3. Check oil pressure gauge and coolant temperature values frequently. If pressure or temperature does not meet the technical specifications, stop the machine immediately.

4. Continuous operation of the engine at coolant temperatures below 60°C or above 100°C can damage the engine.

5. Avoid engine overload or long-term no-load operation. This type of practice is considered to be improper use of the engine.
