What does the four-stroke diesel generator set mean?

Generator Set


The four-stroke diesel generator set refers to the core part of the diesel generator set - the four consecutive stages that the diesel engine goes through when working. These four stages are the intake stroke, compression stroke, combustion stroke and exhaust stroke.These four strokes constitute a complete working cycle, which is carried out over and over again to drive the diesel generator set to generate electrical energy.During the intake stroke, the piston of the diesel engine extracts exhaust gases from the crankcase and at the same time, introduces a mixture of fresh air and fuel into the cylinder by opening and closing the intake valve.During this process, the cylinder is filled with mixed gases ready for combustion.


This is followed by the compression stroke, where the intake and exhaust valves close and the piston moves from the crankcase toward the cylinder head, compressing the mixture to a high temperature and high pressure state.

This process is crucial for the subsequent combustion stroke, as it ensures that the mixed gas reaches sufficient temperature and pressure during combustion, thereby releasing more energy.Next comes the combustion stroke, where the compressed mixture is ignited to produce This energy pushes the piston downward and is converted into mechanical energy, which then drives the diesel generator set to generate electricity.high-temperature, high-pressure gas, releasing a large amount of energy.Finally, there is the exhaust stroke. The piston that has done the work moves upward, and the burned exhaust gas is discharged from the cylinder through the exhaust valve and into the exhaust pipe.

This process ensures that the next working cycle can proceed smoothly in the cylinder.

Generator Set

The working method of four-stroke diesel generator sets has many advantages.For example, a higher compression ratio allows the fuel to more fully release energy when burned;The fuel consumption rate is low, which improves the operating efficiency of the generator set;The charging efficiency is high, which helps to increase the power output of the generator set.However, this working method also has some shortcomings, such as the relatively large vibration and noise of the engine, the relatively low speed, and the need for an expensive oil supply system.


In modern diesel generator sets, four-stroke technology has been widely used.It not only improves the efficiency and performance of the generator set, but also reduces operating costs and maintenance difficulty.With the continuous advancement of technology, the four-stroke technology of diesel generator sets will continue to be optimized and innovated in the future, providing stronger power support for the development of the power industry.


Generator Set

At the same time, the research and application of four-stroke diesel generator technology have also promoted the development of related industries.For example, the R&D and production of fuel supply systems such as high-pressure oil pumps and fuel injectors, as well as the optimization of engine control systems, have provided strong support for the performance improvement and reliability of diesel generator sets.


In addition, the application of four-stroke technology of diesel generator sets also has certain environmental significance.By optimizing the combustion process and reducing fuel consumption, the production of harmful emissions can be reduced and environmental pollution can be reduced.At the same time, with the continuous introduction and application of new environmental protection technologies, the environmental protection performance of diesel generator sets will also be further improved.


To sum up, the four-stroke diesel generator set is one of the basic principles and core technologies of diesel engine operation.It realizes the conversion and transmission of energy through four consecutive working stages, providing reliable power guarantee for the development of the power industry.It realizes the conversion and transmission of energy through four consecutive working stages, providing reliable power guarantee for the development of the power industry.
