5.2.3. Corrosion protection
Measures for corrosion protection are necessary if the CHP plant is shut down for a period
of more than six weeks or is not put into operation within six weeks of delivery or
indication of readiness for shipping.
The following activities must be carried out to provide corrosion protection to the CHP
plant:
Clean the CHP plant thoroughly. If using a high-pressure cleaner, the ignition system
and other electronic components should be covered.
Add a suitable corrosion protection oil to the lubricating oil (see manufacturer’s
information regarding the mixing ratio). The engine should then be operated at idling
speed for about ten minutes.
Drain the coolant, do not close the drain holes again.
Close the intake and exhaust lines.
5.2.4. Waste disposal
If scrapping is planned, the various materials used must be taken into account. The CHP
plant consists of various metals such as steel and aluminium as well as copper wire as part
of the electrical system. The CHP plant must be completely dismantled for disposal. The
assemblies and components must be sorted according to the materials they contain.
WARNING

The parts to be scrapped must be taken to the appropriate collection points for recycling in
accordance with the legal regulations of the country of installation.
