Example 1. Faulty installation:
Overheating of the engine or alternator is the most
common cause of problems with mobile generating sets.
These problems are caused by poor circulation of the
cooling liquid due to wrong routing of the pipes to the
radiator: bents will capture air bubbles causing “air-lockes”
blocking the circulation of the liquid. Other examples of
installation problems are hot air circulation into the radiator
