Operation and Maintenance of Diesel Generators – Part 3: Understanding Starting system and Lubrication system of Diesel Generators
Part 3: Understanding Starting system and Lubrication system of Diesel Generators A diesel generator (DG) set consists of multiple subsystems that work together to ensure reliable and efficient power generation. Among these, the starting system and lubrication system are critical for initiating engine operation and maintaining smooth performance. A well functioning starting system ensures that the generator cranks up efficiently, while an optimized lubrication system reduces friction, dissipates heat, and extends engine life. In this third part of the Operation and Maintenance of Diesel Generators Series, we will focus on the starting system and lubrication system, their key components, functions, and maintenance best practices.
