As a kind of high-efficiency and environmentally friendly power generation equipment, gas generator sets have been widely used in industrial, commercial and civil fields. In order to ensure its stable operation, the role of the lubrication system is crucial. This article will provide you with a brief analysis of the main functions of the gas generator set lubrication system and its key impact on equipment performance.
Ⅰ.The main role of the lubrication system
1.1 Reduce friction, reduce wear and tear
Gas genset internal parts in high-speed operation will produce a lot of friction, long-term friction is likely to lead to wear and premature failure of parts. The lubrication system effectively reduces the coefficient of friction and prolongs the service life of the equipment by forming an oil film on the moving surface.
1.2 Cooling
Engine running process will produce high temperature, lubricating oil can absorb the heat generated by friction, and through the cycle to take away the heat, to avoid parts due to overheating and deformation or damage.
1.3 Sealing
Lubricating oil forms a sealing film between the cylinder wall and the piston, which can prevent gas leakage, enhance combustion efficiency, and at the same time protect the parts from the erosion of harmful gases.
1.4 Cleaning function
Generator set operation will inevitably produce some metal particles and impurities, these pollutants will affect the normal operation of the equipment. The lubricating oil in the lubrication system carries away these impurities through the flow, and at the same time relies on the filtration device to remove them and keep the system clean.
1. 5 Corrosion and Rust Prevention
Engines operate in complex environments and may be exposed to moisture or other corrosive substances. Lubricating oil forms a protective film on the surface of parts, which can effectively prevent rust and corrosion.
II. Importance of the lubrication system
The efficient operation of the lubrication system is the basis for the normal operation of gas generator sets. If there is a problem with the lubrication system, it may lead to rapid wear and tear of parts, overheating of the system or even equipment failure, resulting in unnecessary economic losses. Therefore, the following points need to be paid special attention to in the daily maintenance:
2.1 Regular lubricant replacement: replace the lubricant according to the time and conditions specified by the equipment manufacturer to ensure lubrication.
2.2 Check the quality of the oil: choose the lubricant that meets the standard, and regularly test its viscosity, impurity content and other indicators.
2.3 Clean the lubrication system: keep the lubricating oil path and filter element clean to avoid blockage and contamination.
Ⅲ.Summaries
Gas generator set lubrication system is the equipment operation of the ‘invisible guard’, it reduces friction, cooling, sealing leakage, cleaning impurities and anti-corrosion rust and other functions for the efficient operation of the equipment to provide a strong guarantee. In daily use, strengthen the maintenance of the lubrication system, not only can improve the efficiency of the generator set, but also extend its service life and reduce operating costs. I hope this article can help you more comprehensive understanding of the important role of the gas generator set lubrication system, for your equipment escort.
