In modern industrial society, diesel generator sets, as one of the common energy equipment, undertake important tasks of power generation and supply.
However, the color of the exhaust smoke from the running diesel generator set often changes, and these color changes are actually indicators of the machine's operating status.
When the diesel generator set emits black smoke:
Black smoke exhaust usually indicates incomplete combustion, which may be caused by uneven fuel injection, delayed injection time, or insufficient air intake.
When the diesel generator set emits white smoke:
White smoke is generally caused by two situations: one is excessive water vapor, which is more common during start-up or cold weather; Another type is when water or lubricating oil is mixed into the fuel, or when there is a coolant leak inside the combustion chamber.
When the diesel generator set emits blue smoke:
The appearance of blue smoke is often related to abnormal oil consumption, which may be due to excessive clearance between the piston rings and cylinder walls, or oil entering the combustion chamber.
The change in exhaust color is a signal sent to us by the diesel generator set, which reflects the health status and operating efficiency of the machine. By paying attention to these details, we can not only prevent and solve problems in advance, but also achieve cost savings in daily operations.
