Can an Oversized Diesel Generator Cause Wet Stacking?

Yes. An oversized diesel generator can cause wet stacking when it operates at consistently low load. Under light loading, combustion temperature and cylinder pressure drop, leading to incomplete combustion. Unburned fuel and carbon buildup then accumulate in the exhaust system, gradually contaminating components and reducing long-term engine efficiency. Why Oversizing Leads to Chronic Low-Load Operation […]
