DAILY LOG

Monitoring and Logging the Generator's performance is an

essential part of daily maintenance.
The Daily Log will show performance trends and may be used for
the early fault identification.
The Log is also essential for ascertaining the optimum timing for
compressor washing.
The Log Sheets should be compiled from the following and placed
in the most logical order for convenience - this depends on the
relative positions of the control panels and instruments in the
control room.

DAILY INSPECTION

Complete daily Log Sheet - this will include looking inside the
unit through the windows provided to check pipework for
security and leaks (air, oil and water)
Check lube oil level
Check all air intakes are free from debris
Carry out a compressor wash - frequency dictated by local
conditions and rate of power loss over time

COMPRESSOR CLEANING

Running Wash - normally carried out at least twice a week.

Motoring Washing is usually carried out on a weekly or fortnightly
basis - the turbine has to be shutdown.
Whilst the set is shutdown:
ISOLATE FIRE SYSTEM BEFORE ENTERING THE ENCLOSURE
Check inside and outside the turbine enclosure for security of
components and plumbing;
Top up the oil level as necessary;
Clean up any spillages or leaks ;
Take the opportunity to clean the machine.

FILTER CHANGING

Oil, Air and Gas Filters are routinely changed under the Centrax
Service Policy however;
If a high differential pressure is indicated on the HMI, the filter
in question is becoming clogged and should be changed - a
sudden increase in differential pressure should be
investigated - and Centrax informed immediately.
The duplex oil filter can be switched over manually when the
differential pressure reaches the alarm level (2 to 3.0 bar g)
The duplex fuel filter can be switched over manually when the
differential pressure reaches the alarm level (2 to 3.0 bar g)

OIL CONDITION

The synthetic lubricating oil used in this generating set has an

extremely long life. In order to detect long-term degradation of the
oil, samples should be analysed regularly. The first sample should
be taken at commissioning and analysed for Total Acid Number
(TAN) and viscosity. The TAN should not increase by more that
1.0mg KOH per gm over that of new oil. Viscosity should not
increase by more than 15% to 25% over that of new oil. Samples
should subsequently be taken every 6 months. In the event that
these levels are reached or exceeded the oil should be changed at
the earliest opportunity.
Testing is carried out by the oil company or its local supplier
