In the process of using diesel generators, customers should pay attention to the temperature of coolant and fuel, many customers have this question, how to monitor the temperature? Do you need to carry a thermometer with you? The answer is actually very simple, to install a temperature sensor for diesel generators can be.
In a diesel generator, the coolant temperature sensor is located on the right front side of the cylinder and its function is to control the fan rotation, adjust the starting fuel supply, control the injection timing and engine protection. A typical diesel generator operates in the range of -40 to 140°C. If the temperature sensor fails it will result in lower engine speed and reduced power, difficult starting and the generator will shut down. Most of the coolant temperature sensors in diesel generators are thermistors.
The fuel temperature sensor in diesel generators is mounted on top of the inner housing of the fuel filter. Its function is to control the fuel heater and protect the diesel generator by means of a temperature sensor signal. If the sensor fails, it will also affect the performance of the engine.
In the process of using diesel generators, we must ensure that each temperature sensor can work properly and monitor the temperature accurately, otherwise the unit will face many problems, and then remedy the problems will be added to the trouble.
