Patenga Shipbuilding & Engineering in Chattogram’s marine engineering sector recognizes the significance of maintaining optimal Performance of your ship’s electrical system to ensure optimal sailing in the Bay of Bengal.
Whether for business or pleasure, a properly maintained marine diesel generator (MDG) ensures flawless operations, staff comfort, and passenger enjoyment. In this article, we explore MDG maintenance and repair in-depth, providing practical tips to ensure optimal vessel functioning.
Routine upkeep is a cornerstone of dependability for MDGs. Like engine maintenance, several tasks must be accomplished at regular intervals to keep them functioning optimally.
Visual Inspection:
Our highly experienced specialists will meticulously examine the rotor and stator windings of your marine diesel generator to identify any areas that might cause electrical malfunction, such as a buildup of dirt, discolouration, or fractures that could potentially be responsible for creating electrical faults.
Fluid Management:
Engine oil is essential to the optimal operation and longevity of your marine diesel generator, and we will ensure its replacement meets manufacturer guidelines to maintain proper lubrication of its engine and reduce friction to an absolute minimum. Furthermore, do not forget about air filters and water separators; effective air filters protect against harmful substances entering your engine, while an unobstructed water separator helps guard against water intrusion that might disrupt combustion.
Inspection of Battery and Electrical System:
Starting your marine diesel generator off right requires optimal battery conditions. Our experts will perform comprehensive checks of electrolyte levels, connection stability, belt wear, and alarm systems. Don’t forget about them either—worn belts can lead to slippage and power fluctuations. At the same time, malfunctioning alarms could reveal potential issues!
Advanced Maintenance
Optimizing Performance To achieve maximum Performance and extend the lifetime of your device, it is advisable to consider additional service options, such as advanced maintenance, as part of its optimal functioning.
Procedure for Filter Cleaning and Valve Clearance Adjusting: Our skilled technicians have experience managing these tasks to ensure optimal engine lubrication and Performance.
Coolant and Oil Level Monitoring: Maintaining optimal fluid levels is vital to proper heat regulation and lubrication, so we closely monitor their levels to replenish them as necessary. Exhaust elbows must also be regularly checked for signs of corrosion or damage as an important preventative measure against potential exhaust leaks.
Renew the seawater pump yearly to protect yourself against unexpected malfunctions at sea. A pump that keeps the engine cool is also necessary to prevent overheating and protect your engine and yourself.

Do it Yourself
In case of emergency it is always better to be able to do servicing by yourself.
Conduct a daily inspection:
- Level of Oil
- Check the Coolant Level; be sure to examine both the overflow bottle and cap that holds pressure)
- Water pump belt and alternator
- Search the area under your marine generator for any signs of leakage
- Obtain a brand-new seawater pump annually. If the old salt water pump looks excellent, keep it as an extra. Silicon dielectric oil was added to the impellers, which makes removal and setup easier.
- Change the oil and oil filter twice a year (even for light use or no usage).
- Make sure that 40-50 per cent of the recommended power consumption is from your marine generator (or more).
- Before starting up the marine generator on your boat, always ensure your AC load breakers or switches have been disabled.
- Transform the coast power breaker off (if beginning the marine generator from the dock). This prevents the genset from attaching to the coast power if the switch is worn out. This is possibly tragic even if the connection takes place briefly.
- Perform an annual visual inspection of the elbow’s exhaust wet. Check for cracks, rust, or leaks as well as distress marks to detect possible problems quickly and protect the electronic components of your Genset from failing.
- Inspect zinc every 90 days (if applicable). Understanding when it must be changed will also provide clarity.
- Alter coolant and inspect heat exchanger at least every two years.
