Causes of engine overheating and solutions.
During the operation of the CAT C15 generator set, the engine may overheat. This condition is usually caused by a malfunction of the cold circulation system. Below we will introduce the causes of engine overheating and how to solve them in detail.
1. Causes of engine overheating.
1.Insufficient coolant or deterioration.
Coolant is an important part of the cold circulation system of Carter C15 generator set, its role is to take away the heat generated by the engine and prevent the engine from overheating. If the coolant is insufficient or deteriorates, it will cause the cooling effect to deteriorate, which will overheat the engine.
2.The cooling system is clogged.
The cooling system contains many radiators, water pumps, water pipes and other components, if these parts are blocked, it will affect the circulation flow of coolant, so that the engine can not be cooled in time and overheat.
3.Fan failure.
In the cold circulation system of CAT C15 generator set, the fan is one of the important heat dissipation equipment. If the fan fails, it will cause the heat dissipation to be reduced, which can overheat the engine.
4.Engine wear.
As the engine is used over time, it may wear out, resulting in increased clearances and affecting heat dissipation, which can overheat the engine.
Second, the solution to engine overheating.
1.Check the coolant.
First of all, you need to check the level and color of the coolant, if the liquid level is too low or the color is abnormal, you need to add or replace the coolant in time. At the same time, it is also necessary to check whether the coolant has deteriorated, and if it deteriorates, it needs to be replaced in time.
2.Cleaning the cooling system.
If there is a blockage in the cooling system, the entire cooling system needs to be cleaned, including radiators, pumps, water pipes and other components. If a component is found to be damaged, it needs to be replaced in a timely manner.
3.Check the fan.
It is necessary to check whether the fan is operating normally, and if the fan is found to be faulty, it needs to be repaired or replaced in time. At the same time, it is also necessary to check whether the fan belt is loose or worn, and if there is a problem, it needs to be adjusted or replaced in time.
4.Check engine wear.
The wear and tear of the engine needs to be checked, and if the engine is found to be severely worn, it needs to be repaired or replaced in time. At the same time, it is also necessary to check whether the clearance of the engine is normal, and if there is a problem, it needs to be adjusted in time.
In summary, a failure of the cold cycle system of the CAT C15 generator set will lead to an overheating of the engine. In order to solve this problem, the entire system needs to be carefully inspected and corresponding measures taken to fix and prevent it. Only in this way can the normal operation of the generator be guaranteed and its service life prolonged.
