      Day 34

      9 to 5

      October 12, 2022 in the United States ⋅ 🌙 15 °C

      ...und hier bin ich wieder. ☺️

      Tja ihr habt vielleicht bemerkt,dass ich etwas nachlässiger geworden bin.
      Ist nicht ganz meine Absicht,aaaber ich arbeite momentan tatsächlich den typisch amerikanischen Alltag. 🤷 Von 9 bis 5 oder eben länger...
      Das gibt mir dann hier eher weniger Möglichkeiten mich danach noch wohin zu begeben.
      Muss auch ehrlich sagen,dass ich aktuell so viele Informationen täglich bekomme,dass einem das auch ziemlich schlauchen kann.

      Wie dem auch sei...kurze Zusammenfassung und Eindrücke meiner, wiederum neuen,Arbeitskollegen.

      Am Montag bin ich mir einer eher "internen" Abmachung um 9 vor den Pforten eines anderen Firmenzweiges gestanden und befindet sich genauer genommen inmitten des berühmten Silicon Valley. Ich sag's euch diese Gegend hätte ich mir auch etwas anders vorgestellt...vielleicht eher zugekleistert mit Hochhäusern,hippen Studentenbuden oder Industriezentren...aber so täuscht man sich. Nix dergleichen. Eher eine "normale" Gegend hier und auch sehr grün...viele Bäume. Die Gebäude werden hier eher flach,dafür weitläufiger gebaut. Sie haben ja den Platz. 😆🙃
      Nach einem Tag voller neuer Leute die man kennengelernt hat und ein Gebäude nach dem anderen betreten hat durch viele Irrgänge gewandert ist und prinzipiell den Überblick verloren hat,ging es am Abend zum Koreaner für ein AfterWorkLunch. Das war eine ganz neue Erfahrung für mich in einem abgetrennten Raum zu sitzen und in kleinen Schüsseln serviert bekommen haben wir dann sicher 90% der Speisekarte. 🙈😅 2 Stunden lang wurde serviert,vor unserer Nase Fleisch gebraten und wieder abserviert,nachgeschenkt und schließlich nach dem letzten Gang kassiert und wir praktisch rausgeworfen für die nächste Gruppe 🙈🤷😅 wow. Echt empfehlenswert! Ist ein Erlebnis und auch schmackhaft...obwohl ich teilweise bis heute nicht weiß was genau ich da alles gegessen hatte...aber es ergab sich dadurch auch eine gute Möglichkeit die neuen Kollegen kennenzulernen. 🙃

      Gestern (Dienstag) bin ich dann ENDLICH ins Kino gekommen...ich finde es nämlich immer wieder spannend wie die Kinos in anderen Ländern sind oder Regionen.
      Erstens, Popcorn war eeeecht lecker.
      Zweitens, die Amis machen es einfach richtig den ganzen Saal mit elektronisch verstellbaren Stühlen auszustatten
      Drittens, die Filmwahl war super (und der schweizer Arbeitskollege kam spontan mit)
      Viertens, hier scheint es völlig normal zu sein mit Pyjama und Pantoffeln ins Kino zu gehen 😅

      Heute hab ich mir dann mal wieder einen netten Platz für eine weiteren Sonnenuntergang gesucht und auch entdeckt. Es war einfach nur mega windig und dementsprechend kalt. Ist eine kleine,etwas heruntergekommene alte Hafenstadt die früher die Verbindung zu San Francisco war. Schade wie manche Dinge einfach nicht mehr beachtet werden und kein Wert mehr beigemessen wird...weil man weiterzieht wo einen die Arbeit oder das "Gold" hintreibt...aber seht selbst...

      Day 31

      Golden Gate und der lästige "Karli"

      October 9, 2022 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 19 °C

      Ein herzliches Servus aus Kalifornien. ☺️🌅

      ...ich sag's euch...mein erster Gedanke gestern als ich aus dem Flughafen raus kam um mein Auto zu holen.
      "Do waht a aundera Wind" 😅 brrr. jab echt eine kleine Umstellung zu sonst 30Grad.
      Aber ich konnte dann ja kuschelige 65min auf mein Auto warten 🙈 völlig überbucht. Und ich hab für 10m so lange ausharren dürfen. Zum Schluss hin musste ich noch einen Lachflash unterdrücken,weil ein Typ vor mir die ganze Zeit Rapmusik und dazu noch teilweise Sprechlaut mit gerappt und sich auch voll dazu bewegt hat,während alle nur mehr die Augen vor Warten übersteht hatten. 😂
      Wie dem auch sei, beim Vertrag abschließen erklärte mir der Mitarbeiter dann,dass das jeden Tag so wäre und er einfach ruhig bleibt und weiter lächelt. Keine Ahnung was er dann alles im BlechHeinzi eingetippt hat,aber als ich in der Garage ankam war ich mir nicht 100% sicher ob das mein Auto sein soll. 😆 Eine knapp 300PS schwere Kiste. Zumindest musste ich mich nicht beschweren. 😂 Der Chrysler 300M ist nun mein Begleiter für die nächsten 2Wochen 🙈 tja in Cali angekommen dachte ich nur...

      Heute (Sonntag) hab ich dann San Francisco und die Mission die Brücke im Sonnenschein und voller Größe zu fotografieren vorgenommen...
      Das Ergebnis nach geduldigen 1 1/2 Stunden seht ihr ja 😂 ich dachte nur...jaja recht hat der "Karli" ,so heißt nämlich der ständige Nebel dort. Eines Tages schaffe ich es.
      Dennoch ich hatte die Zeit gut genutzt. Denn mein erster Ort war die St.Paul's Church und für die eingefleischten unter euch läuten bestimmt sofort die inneren und nicht Kirchenglocken. 😄 Ich hatte echt eine mega Freude endlich bei dieser Kirche zu stehen und eines kann ich euch sagen,als OBER FAN, bin ich mir ja fast wie eine von "der Straße" vorgekommen. Es ist Sonntag,Messe,ich den Hoodie drüber gezogen (weil windig) und bin die Stufen hoch weil ich echt gute Musik gehört hatte. 🙃 Bin dann allerdings nicht ganz rein...aber ich hab durch die bunten Gläser gespäht und tatsächlich genau den Anblick gehabt wie am Schluss des Filmes. 🥰 Ihr wisst alle was ich heute vor dem Schlafengehen noch machen werde 😁📺🎹🎤
      Wisst ihr was? San Francisco ist einfach cool...auch egal wenn mir der Nebel einen Strich durch die Rechnung gemacht hat und der kalte Wind teilweise schon fast an Körperverletzung stößt 😄 alleine wenn man diese Berge von Straßen auf und ab fährt und man im einen Moment seine Motorhaube vor der Nase hat und im nächsten man eher voll auf der Bremse steht weil es so steil runter geht,dann ist man hier einfach angekommen. 🥰 Außerdem könnte ich stundenlang herumschlendern und einfach diese viktorianischen Häuser bewundern....die sogar auch teilweise halloweenmäßig geschmückt sind.
      Sausalito durfte heute auch nicht fehlen. Ein kleine sympathische Hafenstadt nach der Brücke rechts. ☺️

      So ich denke...genug geschrieben.
      Einen schönen Start in die neue Woche.      Read more

      1. contacts are the core parts of the connector to complete the electrical connection function. Generally, the contact pair is composed of positive contacts and negative contacts, and the electrical connection is completed through the insertion of Yin and Yang contacts.
      The positive contact is a rigid part with a cylindrical shape (round pin), a square column shape (square pin) or a flat shape (insert). Positive contacts are generally made of brass or phosphor bronze.
      The negative contact part is the jack, which is the key part of the contact pair. It relies on the elastic deformation of the elastic structure when inserting the pin and generates the elastic force to form close contact with the positive contact part to complete the connection. There are many types of jack structures, such as cylinder type (split slot, reduced mouth), tuning fork type, cantilever beam type (longitudinal slot), folded type (longitudinal slot, figure 9), box shape (square jack) and hyperbolic wire spring jack.
      2.

      What is the form of the fuel injection

      November 16, 2023 in the United States ⋅ ☁️ 16 °C

      What is the form of the fuel injection system of a diesel generator set?
      The fuel used in a diesel engine is diesel, due to the large viscosity of diesel, and poor evaporation, it is impossible to form a mixture with the air outside the cylinder through the carburetor, therefore, the diesel engine adopts the method of high-pressure injection. This method is at the end of the compression stroke, the diesel fuel is sprayed into the cylinder in a mist by the injector, and the particles of the diesel mist heated by high-pressure air quickly evaporate and vaporize, and directly form a mixture with the air in the cylinder and spontaneously ignite. The fuel injection system of the diesel generator set is the core component of the diesel engine, and its performance is directly related to the reliability and durability of the diesel engine. At present, the fuel injection system of diesel engines mainly has two forms: mechanical and electronic.

      The advantages of mechanical fuel injection systems are simple structure, reliability and durable, easy maintenance, and the ability to adapt to various working conditions and environments. However, its fuel injection control precision and response speed are relatively low, which is not conducive to the performance of the diesel engine and energy saving and emission reduction. Compared to mechanical fuel injection systems, electronic fuel injection systems are more complex, but their performance and reliability have also been significantly improved. At present, more and more diesel generator sets have adopted electronic fuel injection systems, such as high-end engines launched by Weichai Power. In addition, some traditional diesel engine manufacturers have also increased the development and application of electronic fuel injection systems to meet market and customer needs.

      It can be seen from the above that the diesel fuel injection system is generally composed of fuel supply, air supply, mixture formation, and speed regulation. There are several forms commonly used at present.

      1. In-line oil pump and nozzle system
      This system is a common form of modern diesel engine, which includes a fuel tank, low-pressure oil pipe, oil pump, fuel filter, in-line fuel injection pump, high-pressure oil pipe, fuel injector, and governor. The fuel supplied to the injector is measured, timed, pressurized, and controlled by a diesel fuel injection pump. The injector is a spring-loaded, hydraulically operated valve that is inserted into the combustion chamber. Although it comes in many forms, its basic role is to atomize the fuel injected into the cylinder. The governor is generally a mechanical fly hammer, which can be installed in the pump body or a separate housing attached to the main fuel injection pump body. The governor is used to control the fuel supply of the diesel engine, to change the engine speed.

      2. Pressure time system
      The system is manufactured by Cummins Engine Company and is used in Cummins diesel engines. This system, sometimes called the nozzle system, consists of the following components.

      a. Gear pump
      The gear pump pumps fuel from the tank through the system oil circuit to the pump nozzle and also provides fuel to lubricate the governor and other working parts in the main pump body

      b. Pump nozzle
      The pump nozzle is operated by the camshaft of the diesel engine through a push rod and a rocker arm. The fuel is supplied to the pump nozzle from the fuel channel in the cylinder head, and the fuel must first flow through a small nozzle before entering the pump nozzle. The nozzle is replaceable and selected for a specific fuel supply so that the pump nozzle can be applied to many different models of Cummins diesel engines. Each cylinder uses a pump nozzle. After the fuel flows into the pump nozzle and fills the oil chamber, the fuel is injected into the cylinder when the pump nozzle presses down under the action of the camshaft

      c. Throttle
      The throttle is controlled by the operator, which controls the flow and pressure of fuel to the pump nozzle. The throttle is a simple knob with holes that fit inside the pump body. As the knob rotates, the degree of alignment between the knob hole and the fuel channel in the housing changes, thereby adjusting the flow and pressure of the fuel.

      d. Governor
      The flyweight governor installed in the main pump body can control the maximum fuel pressure to prevent excessive fuel supply of the diesel engine and control the fuel supply to prevent excessive speed of the diesel engine.
      It is a small and compact system designed for small and medium-power diesel engines and is used in a wide range of diesel models. The system is composed of a rotor-type fuel injection pump, oil supply line, fuel filter, fuel injector, high-pressure oil pipe, oil return device, and governor. Its main components have many roles. This type of pump usually has one or two pump oil plungers, which carry the fuel pump to the distributor and then distribute the fuel to the various cylinders, and the pump also controls the fuel metering and injection timing. According to the use of the diesel engine, the governor can be the mechanical fly hammer or hydraulic. High-pressure tubing, fuel injectors, fuel filters, etc. are the same as in-line oil pump systems.

      Summary
      The fuel injection system of diesel generator sets mainly has two forms: mechanical and electronic. The mechanical fuel injection system is simple in structure, reliable and durable, and easy to maintain, but its performance and injection control accuracy are low.
      The electronic fuel injection system has higher injection control accuracy and response speed, which can better play the performance of the diesel engine, but also can achieve more accurate fuel consumption control and emission control. With the continuous progress of technology and the continuous expansion of application fields, electronic fuel injection systems will become one of the mainstream choices for diesel generator sets in the future.

      What is an Automatic Voltage Regulator (

      November 9, 2023 in the United States ⋅ 🌙 8 °C

      Abstract: Diesel generators are very important complex machines, especially when used in work sites or buildings. They are an essential tool in emergencies, providing you with continuous and stable power in the absence of a grid. However, there is still a lot that is not known about diesel generators, especially the importance of automatic voltage regulators. This article will explain AVRand its importance in more detail.

      An AVRis a solid-state electronic device used in diesel generators that automatically maintains the generator output voltage at a predetermined level. The voltage level in the generator can fluctuate, especially when the load or operating temperature fluctuates, and the AVR, which is part of the alternator excitation system, is used to neutralize the output voltage. It stabilizes the output of the generator, which often has inconsistent loads, but can also split the reactive load between multiple generators operating in parallel (called voltage sag) and can assist the generator in case of overload.

      Although small, and its appearance resembles that of a computer's motherboard, the AVRcan control the output by electronically sensing the voltage emitted by the generator terminals and comparing it to a predetermined voltage level. It then sends an error signal to the exciter stator, which is used to adjust the excitation current (by increasing or decreasing the current), and the exciter stator adjusts the terminal to a higher or lower flow rate.


      In short, an constantly monitors and adjusts the voltage of a generator or used generator to maintain a fixed voltage level.

      But why is AVRimportant for generators?

      Diesel generators that are not equipped with an AVRand are considered unregulated, they often have problems meeting the power requirements required for the equipment or equipment connected to the generator. If you work closely with generators, you know that one generator may need to power multiple devices or machines.

      Many non-regulated generators without AVRcannot regulate the voltage output on their own, so if more devices and machines require power - the more voltage output is required - the terminal voltage will gradually decrease, meaning that the connected devices will not have enough power voltage to be fully powered. The use of an AVRis critical for generators because if the voltage output is constantly changing or decreasing, rather than being maintained at a fixed predetermined level, this can affect the performance of the generator and the equipment connected to it.

      The automatic voltage regulator also helps to keep the output terminals at a safe voltage level and can provide surge protection. Without an AVR, a generator may output a terminal voltage that is too high for the device or machine it is powering, which could overload that device. Not only can this damage the connected device, but it can be very dangerous, leading to an electrical fire or electric shock. AVRhelps generators adjust voltage levels during overload to prevent electrical short circuits.

      The use of an AVRincreases the efficiency of the generator and extends its service life, including the equipment connected to the generator. It monitors the voltage output to ensure consistent levels. Without AVR , voltage levels can fluctuate wildly, damaging machines or causing problems at a business or job site.
