No matter if you have an engine or generator set for emergency only or as your prime source of power, it all starts with good maintenance.
Inlet and exhaust system are the two main systems of an engine. The inlet system is responsible for taking air into the combustion chamber. The exhaust system is responsible for exiting exhaust gasses through the exhaust valves. Mitsubishi Engines commonly use a turbocharged inlet system.
The engine oil system performs several important functions; lubrication of the engine moving parts, this helps with cooling the engine by reducing friction and removing heat from the cylinders.
The cylinder head, pistons, cylinder liners, intake and exhaust valves are generally cooled by coolant and oil. The cooling system has two systems Low Temperature (LT) and High Temperature (HT).
The fan is a powered part by the fan drive and is used to create airflow through the radiator. This transfers the heat from the cooling system to the air outside, therefore cooling the fluid, which cools down the engine itself.
The fuel system will handle, filter and regulate the correct amount of fuel required for engine operation. The system consists of a fuel feed pump, several high-grade filters, a high-pressure fuel injection pump for each cylinder bank and state-of-the-art fuel injection nozzles.
The starting system helps crank the engine over to start the combustion process. A properly operating and reliable starting system is needed to keeping your engine productive.
