Generator Cycling
The Generator is designed for the internal compressors to cycle. This cycling reduces
the duty (run time) on the compressors. The rate at which they cycle will be dependent
on the gas required to satisfy the demand of the application. If the application demands
the maximum gas flow of the Generator, the compressor duty will be higher, (the rest
period in the compressor cycle will be shorter). If the application demand is lower than
the maximum gas flow, then the duty on the compressors will decrease, (the rest period
in the compressor cycle will be longer). If the Generator is installed in an extreme
environment or is subjected to low supply voltage or high altitude the compressors may
undergo periods where they do not cycle.
Unusual Operation
If at any time the generator begins to emit excessive noise or vibration, then it should
be switched off and you should contact Peak Scientific or the Peak Partner from which
the generator has been purchased.
