II. Common Consumables and Maintenance Parts (Requires Regular Replacement or Replenishment):
Lubricating Oil (Engine Oil): Diesel engine oil of the grade and viscosity that meets the engine's requirements. Coolant (Antifreeze): Required ethylene glycol-based long-term antifreeze and rust preventative liquid.
Fuel: Qualified clean diesel.
Three filters: Oil filter, fuel filter, and air filter element - These are the most critical maintenance items and require replacement most frequently.
Belts: Fan belts, alternator belts (V-belts or serpentine belts) - These are susceptible to aging and damage.
Batteries: Starting lead-acid batteries - These have a limited lifespan and require regular inspection and replacement.
Fuses: Fuses for control circuits and various protection circuits.
Gaskets/O-rings: Seals for various pipe connections, filter connections, oil pans, cylinder heads, and other locations (commonly used during maintenance).
Rust-proof lubricant: Used to lubricate and prevent rust on moving parts (such as door hinges and levers).
3. Common Parts for Repair and Overhaul (Replaced During Failure or Overhaul):
Internal Engine Wear Parts: Piston rings, cylinder liners, large and small bearings (main bearings, connecting rod bearings), valves, valve guides, valve seat inserts, valve springs, pistons, connecting rods, crankshaft (if severely worn), camshaft (if severely worn), rocker arms, pushrods, etc.
Major fuel system components include: injector assembly, injector nozzle parts, plunger parts, delivery valve parts (repair kit), and fuel pump assembly.
Starting and Charging System: Starter motor carbon brushes, starter gear, charging generator carbon brushes, rectifier bridge, AVR.
Cooling System: Water pump assembly or impeller/water seal, thermostat, radiator core (if clogged or damaged).
Alternator: Generator bearings, AVR, rotating rectifier, stator winding/rotor winding (if severely faulty), carbon brushes (for brushed motor).
Control System: PLC module/control board, display panel, sensors, relays, contactors.
IV. Optional Accessories and Accessories:
Fuel additives: Stabilizers, detergents, and antibacterial agents.
Engine oil additives: Anti-wear agents, etc. (use with caution).
Battery charger/float charger: Maintains battery charge.
Battery heater: Suitable for cold regions.
Water jacket heater: Maintains coolant temperature and facilitates starting in cold regions.
Oil mist detector: Crankcase protection (for high-power, critical units).
Remote monitoring module: Enables remote status monitoring and control.
Parallel cabinet/parallel system: Enables parallel operation of multiple units.
ATS: Automatic transfer switch (automatically switches between the grid and the generator).
Soundproof box/rain cover/container: Reduces noise or provides protection.
Fuel water separator: Improves fuel cleanliness.
Service fuel tank: Independent fuel supply system.
Important Note:
The specific accessories list may vary significantly depending on the unit brand, model, power, configuration, and application environment. Always refer to the Operation and Maintenance Manual for your generator set. This will clearly list the recommended original or certified parts, specifications, and maintenance and replacement intervals.
For critical components (such as internal engine components, control system modules, AVRs, injectors, etc.), we strongly recommend using original or certified high-quality parts to ensure unit performance and reliability.
Regular maintenance (such as changing the three filters, engine oil, and checking belts and batteries) is crucial for extending equipment life and reducing unexpected failures.
Complex repairs and overhauls should be performed by qualified personnel.
