Daily Management of Diesel Generator Sets
Providing routine management for your diesel generator set is key to ensuring its optimal performance and longevity. Below AGG offers advice on the day-to-day management of diesel generator sets:
Inspect Fuel Levels: Regularly check fuel levels to ensure there is enough fuel for the expected run time and to avoid sudden shutdowns.
Start-up and Shutdown Procedures: Follow proper startup and shutdown procedures to ensure safe and efficient operation of the generator set.
Battery Maintenance: Check battery status to ensure proper battery charging and clean battery terminals as necessary.
Air Intake and Exhaust: Ensure that the air inlet and outlet are free of debris, dust or obstacles to avoid affecting the normal operation of the generator set.
Electrical Connections: Check electrical connections and make sure they are tightened to prevent loose connections from causing electrical problems.
Coolant Levels and Temperature: Check the coolant level in the radiator/expansion tank and monitor that the generator set’s operating temperature is in the normal range.
Oil Levels and Quality: Check oil levels and quality periodically. If needed, add or change the oil according to the manufacturer’s recommendations.
Ventilation: Ensure ventilation around the generator set to prevent overheating of the equipment due to poor ventilation.
Monitor Performance: Record operating hours, load levels and any maintenance activities in a log book for reference.
Visual Inspections: Visually inspect the generator set periodically for leaks, unusual noise, vibration, or any signs of visible damage.
Alarms and Indicators: Check and respond promptly to prompt alarms or indicator lights. Investigate and resolve any problems found to avoid further damage.
Maintenance Schedules: Follow the manufacturer’s recommended maintenance schedule for lubrication, filter changes and other routine checks.
Transfer Switches: If you have automatic transfer switches, test their function regularly to ensure seamless switching between utility power and generator set power.
Documentation: Ensure comprehensive records of maintenance activities, repairs and any replacement parts.
Keep in mind that specific maintenance requirements may vary according to the generator set manufacturer’s guidelines. When performing maintenance, refer to the equipment manual or consult a professional for maintenance work.
