As we all know, the cylinder of the generator set is one of the vulnerable parts, and the common damage is corrosion and wear. When the cylinder block is in direct contact with high-temperature and high-pressure gas, and the piston reciprocates at high speed, the working surface of the cylinder wall is subjected to large side pressure and the resulting periodic force. Improper use and maintenance can easily cause premature wear of the engine cylinder wall. Why is the cylinder prone to corrosion and wear? What can be done to effectively avoid such corrosion? The corrosion of diesel generator engine cylinder liner is the damage caused by the electrochemical action of acids. When the temperature of the cylinder liner wall is low, the water vapor entering the cylinder will condense into water droplets. These water droplets interact with the combustion gas to generate acids, such as organic acids, sulfuric acid, carbonic acid, etc., which condense on the cylinder wall and corrode the cylinder. Practice has proved that when the cooling water temperature is lower than 65~70℃, or the diesel engine is started frequently at low temperatures, corrosion and wear will increase significantly. So, in
