AVOID UNPLANNED DOWNTIME AND UNEXPECTED COSTS

Check out ways to monitor conditions, avoid unscheduled downtime and increase reliability through fluid analysis.

Minimize Component Wear
Through fluid analysis, you can identify wear when it starts – minimizing the strain on your equipment and avoiding failures.
Monitor Viscosity Levels
Through fluid analysis, you can monitor your fluid’s viscosity for optimum performance.
Ensure Fluids are Suitable
Through fluid analysis, you can monitor your fluid’s conditions to ensure oil, coolant and fuel are suitable when you need them.
Reduce Unscheduled Downtime
Through fluid analysis, you can predict your maintenance meaning you have less unscheduled, unplanned equipment downtime.

These types of equipment need to be tested if you want them to be reliable and ready when you need them:

Back up/standby generators
Portable generators
Diesel generators
Natural gas generator
Gasoline generators
Solar generators
Inverter generators

FLUID TESTING FOR POWER GENERATION

OIL TESTING

Effective condition monitoring through oil analysis allows you to perform oil changes and necessary maintenance based on test results – what is actually happening within the unit – rather than on the basis of hours of operation or days elapsed on a calendar.

COOLANT TESTING

Coolant analysis takes the guess work out of properly maintaining a cooling system and can identify maintenance problems before catastrophic engine failure occurs. Bi-annual coolant testing and routine maintenance can help you achieve maximum system efficiency and ensure your back-up power works when you need it the most.

DIESEL FUEL TESTING

If your fuel is compromised, your generator start-up is at risk. When the fuel is used for emergency power, contamination and poor quality will stop diesel engines from working. Fuel analysis can identify causes for fuel filter plugging, smoking, loss of power, poor injector performance, malfunctioning throttle position sensors and sticking valves. Testing also confirms your diesel fuel’s sulfur content, biodiesel content and compliance with manufacturer specifications and standards for cleanliness that could affect equipment warranty requirements.
