Corrosive Damage
If the temperature of the engine body is not at a proper value, then the lubrication inside the engine will not be
done properly so this will cause more corrosion on moving components.
Deterioration Of Lubrication Oil
Due to loss of combustion performance, unburned fuel mixing with oil in the cylinder makes the oil deteriorated.
Spoiled oil causes early abrasion of the moving parts and bearings.
Abrasion will firstly affect the bearings of turbocharger operating at very high speed and this situation results in oil
leakage and damage.
By this operation, oil consumption in the engine dramatically raises.
White Smoke
If the fuel cannot be combusted in cylinders properly, then it can be thrown out from the exhaust line as a white smoke.
5.10.Long Term Storage
If the generator set will not be used or will be stored for a long time, some protective precautions must be taken
since this non-operating or storage duration will have negative effects on engine, alternator and other equipment.
Running the generator set directly without any controls after this long duration, may cause damage on all these
main parts.
There must be taken some additional precautions if the generator set will be stored for a duration more than 3
months. However if the storage duration is 3 months or less, then it will be enough to cover the generator set with
a protective packing material and store it in a dry and clean place. It also should be operated at least once in every
15 days.
In order not to face any problems on re-commissioning after this storage duration, the generator set must be
operated for a while (until it reaches to its nominal operating temperature; 75°C) and checked for any failures
before storage.
The procedures to be followed (by an authorized technician) before any long storage duration are as follows;
Storage Between 3 And 6 Months
• Change the engine oil and oil filters,
• Check the coolant level and rating in cooling system, re-fill or re-rate if necessary,
• Change the fuel filter. Drain the water or any residue from the fuel tank and fill with fuel up to maximum level.
• Test the generator set for a final time and stop it after the test is finished,
• Remove all battery connections, clean and remove the batteries. Be sure to keep the batteries under charge,
• Clean generator set completely with a damp cloth. Do not use pressurized water for cleaning purposes,
• Check all the electrical connections and apply moisture repellent spray on all electrical system and equipment,
• Apply protective (moisture repellent) spray/oil to electrical system and its components.
• Apply protective (moisture repellent) spray/oil to air intake canals.
• Loosen the V-belts,
• Close/block the air intake and exhaust outlet channels,
• Pack the generator set properly and place a warning label on it.
• Keep the packed generator set at a dry, clean place and ensure that it will not be directly exposed to harmful environmental
conditions like dust, wind, sun, rain, snow and sudden temperature changes.
