The Maintenance of Marine Generator

The Maintenance of Marine Generator

The maintenance of marine generator sets mainly includes daily maintenance and regular inspections to ensure their normal operation and extend their service life.

Maintenance content of marine generators

I. Daily maintenance

1. Regularly check the leakage of the generator, including the leakage of the cooling water pump, oil pan and other parts, and deal with them in time.

2. Regularly check the electrical system of the generator, check the looseness and detachment of the cables and connectors, and whether the grounding resistance meets the requirements.

3. Regularly replace the engine oil, oil filter and diesel filter to keep the machine clean and extend the life of the machine.

4. Regularly check the quality of cooling water and fuel to ensure that the water and oil are clean and qualified.

II. Winter maintenance

1. Winter is a critical period for ship maintenance, and the same is true for marine generators. In low temperature environments, generators are prone to freezing and difficulty in starting, so the following points need to be noted:

2. When the generator is shut down, drain the water inside the water pump and generator to avoid damage caused by freezing in winter.

3. If the ship is stopped for more than 30 days, the generator should be placed in water to prevent freezing and avoid over-tightening the belt on the wrench.

III. Long-term ship parking maintenance

1. When the generator is stopped for a long time, some problems will occur, such as rust, internal corrosion and aging of the electrical system. Therefore, sufficient preparations must be made before stopping the ship, including:

2. Store the generator in a dry place to avoid moisture and mildew.

3. Completely empty the liquid inside the machine, including cooling water and fuel, to avoid pollution and corrosion.

4. Turn the fan regularly to avoid aging of the electrical system and rust of the structure.

In short, the maintenance of marine generators is very important, and daily maintenance work should be strengthened to detect and deal with problems in time. In winter and when the ship is stopped for a long time, measures should be taken to avoid problems such as icing and corrosion. The implementation of these measures will effectively extend the service life of marine generators and ensure the safety of ships and crew members.
