MEGA Cold Smoke DIESEL GENERATOR Engine Starts and Heavy Sound 

Love em, it's gotta really annoy the woke ecomentalists who'll be charging their Tesla using these because the power grid can't take it 🤣

Oh yeah I just love the sound of those engines purring it's so relaxing

Yes😊

Yes

You bet💯😆

the majority of these generator engines do not have glow plugs or a grid or block heater installed, thats why they start like crap in the winter

Have you ever started a cold engine at -50’?

IT’s dropped down to -25’F I’m in Canada.

@One probably not. I fired up my diesel pickup once at -50 without being plugged in as (duramax) it had arctic oil in it and was parked for 8 hours. It sounded like a gas engine for the first minute before it started to knock, clack, and bang like a cold diesel,

@@c18888 Heck no! If it's that cold, my body isn't going to start either. It's why I live in Florida and put up with hurricanes destroying my home every hundred years.

Starting fluid is a good way to break the piston rings in the Piston Ring grooves in the Pistons.

good way to ether lock an engine

Always curious how the ether gets past the filter.....

Yeah lucky he didn’t lock it up I have done that before on are 4840 and it the pits

Yes tierd engine needs overhaul.

First thought of mine too lol

😂👍

oui

For many generators, there doesn't seem to be any way to bring the throttle down to idle.

Most generators not saying all of them but most commerical or diesel engines have a block heater running at all times and some also delay the start for the glowplugs to work

Even with jacket water heater which will keep temperature of the coolant at least 45°C , in extreme cold situations like these, the engine will take a longer time to run

100 - 120 Is sufficient for stand-by genset block heaters . They will start just fine as long as the fuel is not gelled from lack of additives . I covered that in every commissioning orientation I ever gave Genset owners/Maintainers . “An Ounce of Prevention is worth a Pound of Cure”

I agree. It is hard on an engine to start it cold like that. It would have been desirable to get the block heater working.

More than cold start those white clouds look like poorly made air bleeding after maintenance.

60c? Starts Immediatly? Depends entirely on the application, here are a few examples broken down for ya. In a datacentre and hospitals, they are kept at full operating temperature, 80+C, and they can start and be at full load in under 10 seconds. In non-critical applications where power is needed but there's no need for instant load carry, they are kept at 60c and after starting will fast idle first before bringing the revs up, once the water temp rises to 80c it will go it generates power, this is fast standby and power will be available within 300 seconds In NONE critical applications, theres no preheating, and the engine will be programmed with a fast idle perform a pre-set warmup profile, in some cases they have additional heaters to speed this up, but they can take up 600 seconds for load carry. For us in the data center, it's all about instant load carry, generators are kept at full operating temperature, and all the water and oil are electrically pumped even after the start, so the generators can start, and just scream for the redline, it often takes longer to achieve a frequency sync than it does for the generator to start and be ready. It's well and good saying OH just preheat it, but that is a very very very expensive proposition, the heaters are in the TENS OF KILOWATTS range, and the whole thing is made of metal put in a basement that's freezing cold and sapping away heat constantly, last time i looked at our genset costs, pre-heating bills were in the £100,000 a year range

Glow plug

Webasto👌

Grid heater

Agree, but I think some of these clips were possibly shot in regions of depression where constant maintenance would over tax their finances. Basically, the gen sets are neglected simply due to the lack of money? A block heater would be a great help with all these cold weather units, but to keep the engine "warm" 24/7 just incase the lights go out is not a cheap hobby.

Where the guy is seen spraying what I believe to be Ether starting spray into the intake, that scares me. I remember we were taught to use starter spray on a diesel engine (Crown School bus with 6 Cylinder Cummins) very sparingly as it could cause the engine to blow up.

Не ну посмотрите, латентный «кайфует» от вида мощного дизеля и ему видится эстетика, в виде фаллических образов дымящей выхлопной трубы, и он не такой, они кругом, но только не он... У меня плохая новость для вас, значится ты центральный.

это не мощьные дизели, это дохлые дизели; генераторы в нормальном состоянии так не дымят

Why?

It destroys the fuel injectors especially if they’re direct injection. Ether is only for indirect diesel injected engines.

Build a fire under the engine?

Dude, priming doesn’t help. These engines have not lost their prime. You need to study up on the physical attributes of diesel fuel in cold weather.

Do you idiots realize that these diesel generators in a lot of remote places are not standby! They are primary electrical service. Therefore, if one breaks down and you do not have the parts to fix it until the next two days, explain to me, how block heaters are going to help? You’re proving my point again. Keep posting and show your ignorance.

They probably start better down in Florida! Up north they get cold soaked and a pain in the butt to start!

Not every engine has block heater. also, who do you want to heat it with no electricity? Except it has a battery...

@@petruspechar fire and hot water

Timing never changes.

@@Look_What_You_Did . What ? FUCKING BULLSHIT . All manner of things CAN affect the Injection Timing of a Diesel . Even a Strictly Mechanical Unit .

Heat.

🔝🔝

Those people actually know how emergency generators work. You're the one who need to think it through. The block/coolant/oil heater runs and keeps the engine warm continuously. When the power fails, the generator starts immediately. What do you think is going to happen, the engine suddenly goes from ~100 F to 0 in the 1/2 second it takes to begin starting?

Do you understand what you just said

😂😂😂 LOL

@@averagedev7768 I think thats there point.. XD

this cannot happen

@@Steve1766 maybe when battery technology is way better then it is now and solar panals are more efficent i think they are only what 30% efficent in converteing the sun i cant remeber honastly i just know it wasent great becuase they only capture mostly the red light waves insted of all of them

Pretty sure it would take a good 10 minutes for them to run smooth enough to power anything without shorting stuff out. I hope they weren't under load during these videos.
