When a diesel generator set is running at rated speed, the oil pressure is found to be too low, the oil pressure is too low for the diesel generator set to work, can the oil pressure completely eliminate the impact on the set? The answer is no, because it is not an absolute thing.

We need a certain oil pressure in operation at rated speed.

Pressure stimulates engine lubrication and ensures our own oil supply capacity, helping us to achieve our lubrication and cooling objectives.

The problem lies in how we deal with the engine burning up because the oil pressure is too low and the engine lacks the necessary lubrication.

The correct understanding of diesel generator sets in the process of running oil pressure is too low fault, the essence of low pressure is the oil into the diesel or water.

Diesel generator set in the process of operation, the viscosity index of the oil down, oil pump wear serious or assembly does not meet the requirements, the oil pump function to play successfully or not, directly related to the quality of operation of diesel generator set.

Oil pump work abnormally, the engine body of the main bearing, connecting rod bearings, etc. in the key lubrication surface gap is too large, increasing oil leakage, that will make the oil pressure lower, the oil pressure gauge is also unfavorable indication.

The effective way to solve this fault is to replace the filter element regularly.

In fact, the impact of a faulty sensor on us is huge, the oil suction tray screen is clogged, or the cooler is clogged, so that the internal heat is not distributed, resulting in high oil temperature: the regulator is incorrectly adjusted, so that the oil leaks, simply put, the oil filter is clogged with dirt, cleaning the unit oil flow resistance can make 50% of the problem can be eliminated immediately.

If the efficiency of the oil filter is improved, the oil pressure problem will naturally be reduced.

Too little oil in the oil sump to meet the minimum requirements for oil circulation, a newly fitted oil filter that is not of the required quality, is what many repairs to low oil pressure often end up being attributed to.

When you can understand the oil circulation very well, you will not have much trouble with low oil pressure, even when the diesel generator set is running at rated speed, the oil pressure is too low and you can cope with it.
