Project/ Operations Service Responsibilities


Each Project is responsible for:

Maintaining a full history (Service Reports, Component change notes, etc.) of all
equipment by Plant Number operating on the Project. Ensuring that all the equipment
is serviced according to the AIP established service procedures described in this
manual.

Maintaining in good condition all the equipment and ancillaries as long as it is on


the Project. All faulty Damage / components found on equipment should be reported
back to AIP Technical Services. Should damage be due to local transport in the
country in which the project is to operate, the site manager will be responsible for
making and logging claim against the Transport Co., guidance may be sought from
Jebel Ali Central Operations Department.

Ensuring all Service Reports / Component Change Note, etc. are sent to AIPP Head
Office Technical Records Department on a weekly basis.

Maintaining a full set of technical data sheets, drawings, operation & maintenance
manuals, Service reports / Component Change Advice Note, etc. From time to time
AIP Technical Services will issue technical updates to the Projects, these must be
correctly filed as soon as possible and Site engineers must be made aware of all the
technical information available to them.

Carrying out repairs on equipment within its own capabilities. All large repairs and
overhauls are not to be carried out on Site unless with prior agreement of AIP
Technical Services.

Holding in secure store sufficient spare parts to ensure smooth day to day operation
of its equipment. Running the stores program and ensuring the site complies with the
stores procedure. There are no hard and fast stocking requirements as this depends
upon size of fleet, the availability of spare parts from local suppliers and the nature of
the Project.

Field Service Checks


Receiving of Equipment at Project Site.

Directly after the unloading of any Equipment at the Project Site a Damage report
must be completed (form attached in forms section), recording the condition of the
Equipment plus hours, fuel level, etc.

If possible, after checking Oil and Water levels, the Generators should be started to
ensure that there are no obvious mechanical problems.

All damage and shortages to the equipment must be noted on Damage Report, it
is very difficult to make a claim against Transport Company if we notice the damage
later, so the person receiving the equipment must take time to ensure that all our
equipment is well inspected as it comes on to the Project Site.

4. Commissioning

ALL Commissioning sheets must be completed. The information contained in the


commissioning sheets is very important, particularly protection settings and as built
modifications as these can save time if a fault has to be investigated by AIP Technical
Services / Commissioning.

Only after completing the Commissioning Sheets and making sure that the Site is
in a safe, good & fit condition can the equipment be handed over to Operations
Personnel.

If any unit is not in a good and fit condition then an evaluation by the Site Manager/
Senior Commissioning engineer should be made determining what is wrong and if
possible, any remedial action that can to be taken on site.
For refurbished equipments from SRC, Jebel Ali, the Base Operations Manager, SRC
should be informed by completing feed back form.
For new equipments any damage must be reported on a New Fleet Acceptance

A Generator Shipping Hire Service Report will be sent to the Customer along
with the equipment to enable them to record the servicing of Aggreko Equipment.
A sample of Service Report is attached in the forms section. Hire Desk Controller
will make reference to these forms in the Delivery Note.

The Hire Desk Controller will liaise with the Customers base office to get the
completed Service Reports made available.

A basic spares package will be dispatched with all off shore hires & highlighted
on the Delivery Note.

The reconciliation of consumables supplied will be done with respect to the


Service Reports available.

While there are variations depending upon region. Aggreko personnel may require
specialist training i.e. Basic Survival Course prior to leaving for off-shore.

A controlled copy of the Aggreko Service Schedule must be issued with all offshore
hires. Laminated copies will be issued to all depots so these can be fitted to all
generator panels pre delivery for the clients reference.

A controlled copy of the service procedure for the particular plant must also be
issued with all offshore hires, i.e. Canopies A Service or Container A Services.
This will allow the client to follow our service standards correctly and a reference
to follow.

Where possible an engineer must be sent to the subject vessel/site to demonstrate


to the client how to operate the equipment and explain our service proocedure,
pointing out any key points. (Filters location, oil filling point etc).

In Depot Service checks

6.1

Booking in of Equipment after Hire

Directly after the unloading of any Equipment at the end of a hire in the depot, a
Red Card relevant to the equipment must be completed recording the condition of
the Equipment (hours, fuel level, etc.).In the event equipment arrives after normal
office hours and/or weekends, the equipment should be red carded within the
next working day.

Generators should be started; check Oil and Water levels to ensure that there are
no obvious mechanical problems.

All damage to the equipment must be noted on the Red Card, it is very difficult
to make a claim against a customer if we notice the damage later. The person
receiving the equipment must take time to ensure that all our equipment is
inspected thoroughly when it comes into the Depot.
The lower portion of the Red Card must be given to the Hire Desk Controller as
soon as possible in order to finalize the Service Contract with the customer.

Aggreko International Technical Services

Page No.22

April 2008

Generator

Service Manual

After booking in, the Service Team Leader will assign a Service Engineer to inspect
and carry out the Depot Checklist. If possible, equipment-awaiting inspection (AI)
should be kept in a different area of the yard from the available (AV) for hire
equipment.

Our target is that No equipment will be awaiting inspection for more than 3 working
days. If equipment cannot be made available within 3 working days, The Service
Department must attempt to identify the status of the equipment whether it is AI
(Awaiting Inspection)or UR(Under Repair).If the status of equipment changes
to URfrom AI,the old Red Card must be replaced with a new Red Card and
the reason must be stated on the reverse of the card and then the lower portion
of the Red Card can be passed to the HDC (Hire Desk Controller)for Fleet Status
Purposes. Our sales people need to know if the equipment can be available at
short notice or if any repair work needs to be carried out prior to the next hire.

6.2

Aggreko Depot Checklist/Load test sheet /Green card

In order to make our equipment available for hire we need to carry out a thorough
check on it. The Aggreko Depot Check List/Load test Sheet,(particular to the
equipment)is a reminder of all the items that must be checked. All actions
performed should be ringed in the Service Category boxes and items requiring
specific records should be entered wherever possible ,i.e. Load/Phase, L/O
Pressure PSI,ELCB reading, Water Temperature,DCA level, Battery Charging
Volts DC and Anti Freeze %.

Items not applicable to be marked N/A.

The remarks section should record details of breakdown, services or any factor
that could have a bearing upon the future hire of the hire or plant. Relevant Fault
Code should be ringed.

Service Reports should be completed at the time of the service and not stockpiled
for completion later.

Only after completing the check list and making sure that it is in a good &acceptable
condition can the equipment be Green Carded and become ready for hire.

If the unit is not in a good condition then an evaluation must be carried out. The
problem must be identified and any remedial action required must be taken by the
Senior Engineer in the depot. The Hire Desk Controller needs to be informed so
that a change in the Fleet Status Report can be made from AI,to UR.A reason
must be given in case the costs can be charged to the customer together with
estimate of the repair time.

The completed Depot Check sheet and the bottom tear off portion of the Green
Card must be handed in to the Hire Desk Controller as soon as possible to enable
the units status of AI to AV(Available for Hire)to be made.
The upper two portions of the Green card are to be fixed in a visible place on the
equipment. The Pre Delivery Inspection (PDI) Portion is to be completed prior

Aggreko International Technical Services

to equipment going on hire.

Our aim in the Service Department is to maximise our fleet availability by


performing these thorough checks on our equipment efficiently & quickly. Delays
in completing paperwork, correctly and on time cause the Sales Department to
possibly turn down hires for available equipment.

At the start of every week, check all the AV generators to ensure that they
start and there are no leaks. Record date and time of this action. The Service
Engineer must sign and record this action on the reverse of the green card. Run
AV generator sets every week at no load until the engine has reached stabilized
coolant temperatures (Engine Running Temperatures).

Aggreko recommends that the engines must be exercised on a regular basis for
the following reasons:

Demonstrate that most of the key engine and generator subsystems are
functioning.

Maintain a coating of lubricating oil around the engine bearings.

Maintain a coating of corrosion inhibitor throughout the cooling system.

Typically, a generator set is exercised at No-Load for 30 minutes, or until the


engine has reached stabilized coolant temperatures. This No-Load exercising is
performed on Weekly intervals.

Generator sets are often exercised by starting and operating at rated frequency
(Hz or RPM) with no load since non-critical load is not always available for testing.
However, repeated or extended testing without load can cause combustionrelated problems that have the potential to cause engine damage.

Operating the Engine at Low Load


Operating engines at no-load or loads less than 30%of the Standby Power Rating
for prolonged periods of time may result in:

Wet Stacking Wet stacking manifests itself in the accumulation of carbon


particles, unburned fuel, lube oil, condensed water and acids in the exhaust
system. This accumulation is due to incomplete combustion caused by low
combustion temperatures.

Carboning -Is the result of carbon particles deposited on top of the piston rings
and in the injectors due to incomplete burning of fuel.

Fuel Dilution of Lube Oil -Piston rings are designed for optimum sealing under
elevated combustion pressures. When these pressures are not achieved due to
the application of low loads, the fuel injected into the combustion chamber can
get past the piston rings causing a fuel dilution situation in the lubricating oil.

Water Contamination of Lube Oil -If the lubricating oil does not attain the desirable

operating temperature, condensation of water may form in the engine oil pan.

6.3

Piston Detonation Piston detonation damage is caused by excessive engine


idling or low load conditions that lead to localized burning of fuel above the top
ring when larger loads are required of the engine.

Before Rental /Transfer to another Depot Checks

Before rental always check the fuel tank. It must contain clean fuel. The level
should be noted on the dispatch/delivery note.

Before rental always check the following:

6.3.1 Engine oil pressure


6.3.2 Water temperature
6.3.3 DC charging circuit
6.3.4 AC voltage and Operating Hz is correct as per the Order sheet from the Hire
Desk Controller
6.3.5 Hour meter is running, note the hours on the dispatch/delivery note

6.3.17 Ensure that Safety Must Have Priority Sticker is affixed prominently on the
equipment (not on outside of the canopy /container).Sample attached in the
Forms sub section of the Generator section.
6.3.18 It is important that plant is maintained to the highest standard and working practices
and that work is performed to the company standards with considerations of
avoiding contamination or spillages. All spillages to be reported to the QHSE
Manager at Jebel Ali using Spill Report form available in the EH&S Best
Operating Practices.

6.4

Load Test

6.4.1 Load test should be carried out whenever circumstances permit, upon the
judgment of a Service Engineer taking into consideration the plant history and
duty and/or application since the last test. As a minimum, plant should be load
tested at the Bservice.
The load should be increased as follows:
10 minutes Warm Up
15 minutes 25%
15 minutes 50%
15 minutes 75%
10 minutes 100%

7.

Preventative Maintenance Service Intervals for Generator Sets

All generator sets are to be serviced as per the Service Schedule attached
in this manual. Tolerance of +10%on A service is acceptable.

For certain models of engines service interval may be changed as per


Manufacturers Instructions and Technical Services Department directives i.e.
QSK engines as above.

The service standards for A services are detailed on the following pages for
Containerized and Canopy sets, at the customers site and in the Depot.

Note: If a generator returning to the depot from hire is within 100 hours of its next
A service, the A service must be carried out prior to making the set available for
hire. This 100 hour time frame can be extended upon application of the equipment
and location of hire. This decision can be taken by the Service Team Leader in
conjunction with the Sales Manager and/or Engineering Service Manager. The
reason will be recorded on the Service Report. Sending out a generator set to a
customer and 2 days later asking him to stop it so that we can service it does not
help with our goal of Customer Satisfaction.

The oil must be a multigrade product able to satisfy a viscosity range of 15W-40
and must meet the minimum specification of API - CH4 for QSK45 and QSK60
engines and API - CG4 for KTA50G3 engines. With the advance in oil technology
many suppliers are already into API-CHI specification. This is acceptable to
Aggreko as they may supply this grade as an alternative to CG4 and CH4.
Gas engine oil can only be as specified, no other grades are allowed

Purifiner Start Up
PURIFINER filter should be installed at time of A Service. The service sticker
should be completed to show next Filter change due in 800Hrs (Containers) & 400Hrs
(Canopies).
It is important to use high quality oil. Save a small amount of the new oil, which should be
sent to an oil laboratory for analysis? The report you get back will establish a base line
for later comparisons of the condition and additive level of your oil. It is also necessary
to take a sample of the old engine oil prior to change as this will indicate the condition of
the engine.
Remove the cap of the PURIFINER, diffuser plate and remove the filter. Check to be
sure that the brass metering jet is installed in the bottom of the can. Replace the filter,
being sure that the O rings are in place on top and bottom of the filter. Place the
diffuser plate on top of the filter, being sure that the cut-out in the baffle plate aligns with
the return hose fitting on the side of the canister.
Insert the loose end of the pressure hose into the plastic cup and have someone start the
engine and let it run until you get a flow of oil. This will flush the oil line and assure you
that you have a pressurized oil flow. Turn off the engine.
Connect the pressure hose to the PURIFINER and tighten securely.
Start the engine and visually check all fittings for oil leaks.
After 3-5 minutes of operation, carefully touch the head near the heater cap, it should be
hot to the touch. This assures you that the heater element is working properly.
Let the engine run for 20-40 minutes. The larger units, with their bigger filters will take
longer to fill. As soon as you are able to see oil flowing through the flow meter or sight
hose (it will be about full), shut the engine off, wait five minutes and check the oil level
and top up as necessary. The PURIFINER installation is now complete.

PURIFINER filters, which include built in time released additive replenishers,


have a gold coloured filter pad at the bottom of the filter canister; those without
have a red colored pad.

FILTER CHANGING PROCEDURES


Filter element change for TF 40/60/240P models
Loosen the four head nuts, swing down the bolts out of the slots in the head and
remove the head and diffuser plate. Be careful, the head and diffuser plate
will be hot.
Lift the filter out of the canister with the built-in handle. Ensure that both O
rings come out with the filter. Properly discard the used filter. The best method
to prevent oil spillage is to place the used filter in the bag the new filter is supplied
in.
Do not remove the oil that is in the bottom of the canister. Install the new filter
element into the PURIFINER canister.
Remove the old gasket from the underside of the head plate, clean the plate
and fit a new head gasket dry.
Place the diffuser plate and head on top of the O ring, being sure that you align
the slot in the side of the plate with the large return hose fitting on the side of the
PURIFINER and that vent port on the lid is positioned 180 degree (opposite)
return. Swing up the four bolts into the slots in the head and tighten the head nuts
securely. This completes the filter element installation

START UP AFTER FILTER REPLACEMENT


Start the engine and let it run until you have a flow of oil in the sight hose.
Shut off the engine and wait five minutes. Check the oil level on the dipstick and
top up as necessary. This completes Filter Change procedure.

TROUBLESHOOTING THE PURADYN


The Puradyn has been engineered to be as simple and trouble-free as possible.
It is manufactured from the highest quality materials available and with superior
workmanship. If, however, your Puradyn is not functioning properly, check for the
following conditions, and correct as indicated:
Restricted oil flow:

Shutoff valve closed open valve


Filter dirty and clogged change filter
Clogged strainer clean strainer
Clogged metering jet clean metering jet
Oil coming out of vapour tube:

Crank case breather restriction causing the oil level to backup within the filter
housing.
Sharp bend, dip or trap in return hose reroute hose
Make sure that the oil return line is always dropping into a non-pressurised
location on the engine. For best results, the oil return should be located below
the oil level in the pan.
Check that the return orifice into the sump is of sufficient diameter.
Top of the Puradyn not hot after five minutes of operation:

Check fuse if fuse is good, check power source and ground. If you have
power, the heating element is burned out and needs to be replaced.

BATTERY FILLING & CHARGING PROCEDURE


Dry Charged Batteries
1.

Check the fresh battery for any physical damage before filling.

2.

Ensure proper specific gravity (by using Hydrometer) of filling electrolyte.


The acid should have a specific gravity of 1.260 @ 20C. Refer table below
for other
temperatures.

3.

Fill the cells till the maximum line or up to the top mark (in case of opaque
batteries). Wait for 30 minutes; replenish the electrolyte if the level has
dropped below max line. Check for the open circuit voltage of the battery.
12.6 0.15V

4.

Put the battery on charge till the top of charge is reached which is indicated
by freely gassing cells.
In case of constant current charging set the current as recommended
below,
5 amps up to 75Ah type battery & 8 amps for batteries above 75 Ah till the
specific gravity reaches 1.260 @ 20 C

5.

If for some reason the acid filled (wet) batteries require storage, then the
battery
should be maintained and kept in a charged condition.

6.

Dry charged batteries stored for long periods of time or stored improperly
would show difference in the initial activation.
To ensure good performance of the battery , follow point no 4 above

BATTERY MAINTAINING & CHARGING PROCEDURE


1.

Ensure Open Circuit voltage of more than 12.6 0.15 volts before fitment on the
generator

2.

All wet batteries will loose charge if stored for long periods. This is known as self
discharge.

3.

Prolonged storage of wet batteries without recharging may accelerate grid


corrosion resulting in loss of capacity and cranking power.

4.

In order to ensure proper maintenance of wet batteries, check the voltage,


electrolyte level & specific gravity of the batteries regularly at weekly interval.
Top up the empty cell with DISTILLED WATER only. Never use Acid to top up
except in the initial filling.

5.

Batteries having open circuit voltage < 12.40 volts should be charged with
constant potential chargers till the cells are freely gassing.
In case of constant current charging set the current as recommended below,
5amps up to 75Ah type battery & 8amps for batteries above 75Ah until the
specific gravity reaches 1.260 @ 20 C

6.

The batteries should be stored in a cool & dry place. Large temperature
fluctuations can cause adverse voltage drops in dry batteries and would reduce
the life of the battery in the case of wet battery.

7.

Ensure that Vents are firmly in position before fitment.

8.

Smear terminals with Petroleum jelly (Vaseline) after fitment.


Check the belt tension of the alternator. Ensure that the alternator output at the
normal RPM is in the range of 14.2 0.2 volts on a 12 volts system and 26.2
volts 0.2 volts on a 24 volts system.

Alternator Bearing Re-Greasing.


On all new and refurbished alternators there is a Newage sticker relating to
bearing re-greasing. The sticker shows the interval as 4,000 to 4,500 hours and
the Service Sheet shows greasing to be done at:
5,000 hour B service (For Diesel Products)
4,500 hour B Service (For Gas Products)
Ignore the sticker and grease at the B service interval as record keeping will be
easier and 500 extra hours for Diesel Products will not cause a problem.
Preparation:

Before starting the machine remove the PMG cover,

This will allow grease expelled from the Non Drive End Bearing carrier (Picture1)
to be contained.

Grease expelled from the Drive End Bearing carrier (Picture 2) will be expelled
behind the Drive coupling.

Aggreko International Technical Services

Page No.81

April 2008

Service Manual

Generator

Access to this area can be gained


through the two inspection cover
(Picture 3) on the Drive Housing.

This area must only be opened after


the greasing is complete for cleaning
purposes.

Greasing should be done with the engine running.

To do this as safely as possible the excitation should be switched off and the circuit
breaker opened.
Greasing on the run will help prevent any hydraulic shifting of the bearing
assembly that is possible with static greasing, similarly over greasing may cause
hydraulic shifting which will lead to premature bearing failure.

Procedure:

Only Kluber Asonic GHY 72 Grease has to be used for Newage Alternators

Kluber Asonic GHY 72 is available in 400 gram cartridges from Jebel Ali stores
(Aggreko Part Number GHY72) as are the required Grease Guns (Aggreko Part
Number 12632).

A dedicated grease gun to hold the cartridge is needed as we do NOT want to use
re-fillable grease guns due to the chance of dirt entry when filling.

Quantity of grease for 1250 alternators is 89 grams for the DE bearing and 75
grams for the NDE bearing (check the sticker for other sizes).

This is roughly equivalent to 67 strokes of the grease gun for the DE bearing and
56 strokes for the NDE. (1 stroke = 1.35 grams)

Aggreko International Technical Services

Page No.82

April 2008

Generator

Service Manual

This should be pumped in slowly to allow the grease gun to recharge between each
stroke.

Grease Meters to measure the quantity of grease being re-packed into each bearing
are also available from Jebel Ali Store (Aggreko Part Number 411100) see next
page for details.

Once the Generator has been stopped complete the next task!

Clean up any old grease that may be ejected from the bearing carriers and refit the
PMG cover and inspection covers on the drive housing.
If any of the below SKF / Samoa Grease meters (Part Number 411100) are
available on site please use this instead of counting the numbers of strokes of the

AC Alternator Cleaning and Insulation Resistance Test Procedure


Object
The object of this instruction is to enhance the current maintenance and cleaning
process, in order to improve the reliability of the AC Generator

Scope
This instruction is a supplement to existing maintenance & cleaning methods and
applies to all AC generators.

Responsibility
Persons operating on the above machines must do so in accordance with this
instruction. This must be carried out to ensure safe and reliable operation of the
AC generator. It is the individuals responsibility to keep equipment and localised
work area tidy at all times, in order to be compliant with company health and
safety procedures.

Procedure
Before cleaning commences on the AC Generator, refer to the Manufacturers
service and Maintenance Manual for any special requirements.
The unit must be visually inspected to remove any debris within the fan cowl.
During the washing process, a hot pressure jet should be used with NO ADDED
DETERGENT, ensuring debris is forced out of the winding.
On completion, the machine must be dried out thoroughly to remove any standing
water. Excess water left in the machine will create a high dew point, reducing the
Insulation Resistance (IR) value of the AC generator.

Service Manual

Generator

INSULATION RESISTANCE TEST


The following is pre- commissioning procedure for canopy generators fitted
with the P2002 & 522 engine protection modules.
If the generator has been standing for any length of time or transported in a
wet condition it is important to ensure that the alternator winding resistance
is above 1M before running.

Carry out the following checks:

Disconnect all the wires from AVR.

With alternators fitted with Aggreko link board remove the links connecting
the winding ends to the neutral. As shown in Fig 1

Switch off all AC MCBs in panel.

Connect a Mega-ohm meter set to 500V (Megger) to U1 V1, V1- W1, W1U1 in turn & then each to earth (generator frame) Maintain voltage for 1minute
and ensure resistance is greater than 1 M. Note: On alternators pre 1990
the winding ends were marked in opposite direction hence the output ends
were U6, V6, W6 and the neutral U1, V1, W1. The link arrangement remained
as above.

If reading is slightly below 1M then it may be simply some surface moisture


that is giving this reading this can normally be rectified by running the
generator unexcited for about 10 minutes. After this the Mega-ohm test
should be carried out again to ensure the winding resistance is above 1M.

Aggreko International Technical Services

Page No.98

April 2008

Service Manual

Generator

Generator sets fitted with the P2002 engine module have an alternator output
detection circuit which will cause the generator to stop once the protection hold
off time (15 sec) has elapsed. Therefore a 10 minute run is not possible without
manually bypassing fuel solenoid control.

Drying out procedure


In some case it is necessary to dry out the alternator to increase the insulation
resistance to an acceptable level.
This can be achieved by blowing hot air into alternator from a small electric
convection heater. This method normally takes 24hrs to get winding insulation
above 1 M.
Another way is the Short Circuit method. For this you will need shorting links
capable of carrying full load of the alternator, a variable resistance of 80-100
capable of carrying up to 2A and a clamp on ammeter.

Ensure AVR is disconnected.

The neutral links need to be in place as shown in diagram Fig 1.

Connect the shorting links across output terminals U, V & W.

Connect the resistor across a 12V battery and exciter. See Fig 2

Start engine and ensure it is running at correct speed. Note: as the alternator
is unexcited at this stage the Hz meter will give incorrect reading, normally full
scale. Do not adjust speed down if it sounds like it is running normal.

Slowly adjust resistor until approximately 80% of full load current is being
carried.

Allow to run for 1 hour, stop engine, remove links and carry out insulation resistance
tests as above.

If reading is above 1M. Reconnect AVR and run up generator.

Check all voltages are balanced between phases and neutral.

If voltages are not balanced or insulation level does not come above 1M refer
to Newage fault finding manual.

Set Voltage and frequency


Before starting the generator, determine the voltage and frequency it is to run at
and confirm with client.

Set Over-speed protection

P2002 module, remove back cover. Select Hz (50/60) by moving DIL switch.

522 modules, Select Hz (50/60) by moving DIL switch on rear of module.

Set AVR

Move link at bottom of AVR for 50/60Hz operation. On some generators a switch
is fitted for this and is inside panel.

Turn volts pot on AVR to mid position.


Run Generator and adjust frequency to desired level. For engines fitted with
electronic governors the speed should be set using rated speed potentiometer
on governor controller. Fine adjustment can be made using remote pot if fitted. If
Generator is running on its own not in parallel the droop pot on controller should be
turned fully anti- clock wise. Generators with mechanical governors the frequency
should be set to 52Hz or 62Hz to allow for governor droop on load.

Shut down checks.


When it has been determined that the generator windings are ok and the engine
safe to run the shut downs should be checked prior to putting generator into
service.

Start generator allow 1 min for engine safety l.e.d on module to light.

Ensure it is safe to close circuit breaker and close.

Disconnect wire from oil pressure switch and short to engine chassis. Circuit
breaker should trip, engine shut down and module L.O.P l.e.d lit.

ALTERNATOR REBUILD AND REFURBISHMENT PROCEDURE


The idea behind this is to offer guidance about a meaningful inspection and
rebuild of a generator. It is expected that the generator has been operating for
some considerable time, and for reasons of complete generating set overhaul an
opportunity arises to thoroughly assess its condition, and refurbish in line with the
prime mover manufacturers maintenance /overhaul program.
Whilst generators are identified as a low maintenance component part of a
generating set, they must not be considered to be a No maintenance item.
The only way an effective study of the generator condition can be established is
with it removed from the engine and the rotor withdrawn.
The facilities required for safely removing the generator from the engine and
conducting a generator overhaul program are those available in any reasonably
equipped workshop with lifting capabilities and experience of Electro-mechanical
assemblies. Such experience and equipment should extend to safe handling and
storage of component parts, specialist bearing and coupling pullers, adequate
pressure washing equipment, thermostatically controlled oven, electrical insulation
and impregnation materials, and adequate, and calibrated test equipment and
instruments.
The Generating Set manufacturer will have provided technical literature to support
the engineering package. Any maintenance and overhaul work must follow
correct safety procedures, be conducted by trained personnel, working within the
guidelines of the appropriate generator set component manufacturers technical
support literature.
General guidance regarding safe working practice, generator parts removal,
winding resistance values, circuit diagrams, and component test procedure can
be found in the Newage Installation, Service & Maintenance Manual.
It is good practice for the complete strip down to be followed in an ordered
manner and for written notes to be made of specific mechanical arrangements,
and electrical connections. It is often advisable that the electrical connections
be marked just for the purpose of easy identification during the final rebuild. It is
strongly recommended that even if the manufacturers original electrical drawings
are to be the reference documents, the machine connections be double-checked
against these drawings to confirm status and authenticity.
COMPONENT INSPECTION.
As the generator is removed from the engine the first visual checks can begin.
The removal of each securing bolt foot, adaptor flange, and coupling, etc. should initiate an inspection for any signs of looseness, fretting, elongation of
holes, and damaged threads.
As component parts are pulled apart a visual check should be made for signs
of water ingress/ rust/ contamination onto surfaces that should have remained
untainted. Specifically the coupling / adaptor/ mounting regions are the most
important areas to concentrate this visual study.

PMG Removal. if fitted.


Before the NDE Bracket can be removed the PMG assembly must be removed. The
procedure is covered in the Newage Installation, Service & Maintenance Manual.
Remember that the rotor of the PMG is strongly magnetised, so care should be
taken when handling and this item should be stored in a clean plastic bag to stop
contamination by metal particles whilst the rotor is in storage.

End-Bracket Removal.
Whether a single or two bearing generator the DE Adaptor or End-Bracket should
be removed. The timing of the removal of a single bearing machine adaptor may
depend on fan type and the fans outside diameter relative to the adaptors dimensions
in the frame location flange region.
The NDE bracket should be removed, with appropriate care as instructed in the
Newage I, S & M. Manual with regard to bearing housing dismantling.
It is most important to adequately support the rotor weight when the end-bracket is
withdrawn from its frame location point.

Bearing Assembly.
The condition of the bearing assembly, especially in the region where the bearing
outer race is located, should be carefully inspected for signs of wear.
If a wear groove can be detected then the assembly should be replaced.
In the NDE housing the condition of the bearing outer race anti-creep rubber O ring
should be established and replaced if any signs are found that it is no longer circular
in section, or has lost its original snug fit in its machined groove.
The bearings should be removed from the shaft, and the bearing location diameters
should be inspected for signs of wear marks, or fretting. Removed bearings no
matter what their age should not be refitted.

Rotor Removal.
With the generator removed from the engine and now securely supported the rotor
should be removed. The Newage Installation, Service & Maintenance Manual
will provide guidance about the procedure that should be followed to safely support
the rotor whilst sliding it out of the stator bore. With the rotor carefully removed
it should be stored in a well-supported manner in a position where no accidental
damage will occur.

Terminal Box and UC / BC machines sheet Metalwork


These covers should be removed to allow unrestricted access to all parts of the
machine. Any patterns of metal oxidization on this metalwork will provide guidance
of the amounts of moisture that has been present within the machine. It will also
offer useful guidance about areas within the generator that must be most carefully
inspected, and also guidance about the performance of the Engine & Generators
Housing /Canopy/Enclosure.

Stator Inspection.
The general condition of the stator winding can be established by a visual inspection.
Its appearance will offer guidance regarding the level and type of contamination on
the windings. Any obvious areas of stress should be examined before the evidence is
tampered with. To ensure that the windings are basically sound a Megger test should
be conducted to gauge the overall condition of the assembly. It may be that this test will
result in some very low measured values, but providing there is no dead short it may
be that the dirty-damp condition of the winding is the cause, and this is a recoverable
situation. The winding resistance values should be measured and checked against
the values in the Installation, Service & Maintenance Manual.
Rotor Inspection.
A visual inspection will establish the basic condition of the main rotor windings, the coil
support mouldings and wedges, and any localised areas that have been stressed.
The exciter armature and the rotating diode assembly must also be carefully
inspected.
A Megger test for values of IR will establish the basic condition of the assembly.
The winding resistance values should be measured and checked against the values
in the Installation, Service & Maintenance Manual.
Exciter Field Inspection.
The condition of the field coils should be inspected. In particular the corners of the
coils should be inspected for Blue-green verdigris - deposits that are the result of
this polarised winding operating in damp salient atmospheres.
The bore of the lamination pack should be inspected for any signs of rubbing, and if
any found the exciter armature lamination OD should be closely inspected for rubbing
marks. If there are clear indications that the these items have been in mechanical
contact then any signs, the result of frictional heat, should be looked for on the winding
insulation materials.
Fan Condition.
The fan should be inspected for any signs of stress. This may be cracks, and bent
blades. Any stress marks should be carefully considered with regard to assembly
integrity, and if in doubt the fan should be replaced.
Pressure Washing.
The most effective way to clean the stator, rotor winding, and exciter field assemblies
are to pressure wash them. This should be done with a hot pressure wash with no
added detergent. The problem with a detergent wash is that it may contain surface
tension reducing chemicals and wetting agent salts. These can leave a hygroscopic
residue on the surface of the windings, with the result that they may stop good adhesion
of a protective overcoat which is the next part of the refurbishment exercise.
The washing action should be sympathetic to the construction of the winding out-hang,
but nevertheless must be thorough, and conducted in a manner that the particles of
dirt flow out of the windings rather than forced further in.
Aggreko International Technical Services

Page No.104

Service Manual

Drying Out Procedure.


The washed components must be thoroughly dried out in temperature-controlled oven.
The winding assembly should be slowly heated to 105C, and held at this temperature
for several hours to absolutely ensure that all the moisture is evaporated, rather than
boiled, from the winding assembly.
The Testing of Cleaned Wound Components.
Once removed from the oven the assembly should be allowed to cool to normal
ambient temperatures in a clean and dry workshop environment with typical 45% RH
values. The wound assembly is then ready to be Megger tested to establish the IR
values, which should be measured phase to phase, and phase to earth. A minimum
acceptable value is 2.0 Meg Ohms.
Insulation Overcoat.
With clean dry windings, that have an acceptable IR value, an overcoat of a suitable
electrical resin should be applied. A known compatible material is manufactured
by Sterling Varnish, identified as VA 42. An alternative is the Epoxylite 213RT that
is the Black Epoxy Overcoat the Newage use during original BC & UC machine
manufacture.
The choice of an Overcoat material is quite involved, as compatibility with the
original impregnation material can be very difficult to achieve. The major problem
is with ensuring that the overcoat will adhere to the original impregnation. This is
especially so with the HC product which use an epoxy impregnate, designed not to
allow contaminants to collect and build-up on its surface, and so it is hard for just any
overcoat to stay adhered.
The Overcoat can be applied by paintbrush, or by use of a Venturi spray gun powered
by a clean and dry source of pressurised air. The application of this material will offer
good protection to the now clean windings, but is only effective if great care is taken
to cover 100% of the winding surface.
There is no great benefit in applying the overcoat in a layer of great thickness. The
heat cycling of the windings during normal operation will simply cause the overcoat
to separate from the windings if the overcoat is too thick. On a rotor assembly a thick
coat will lift and under centrifugal force will peel off
To assist with any exercise in identifying a suitable Overcoat Material the following
information is provided about the original impregnation materials and process.

Rotating Diode Assembly.


Experience suggests that the connections of the diode assembly become corroded
after several years use, and the most prudent way to ensure reliable service is
ensured after this major overhaul is to remove the diodes, surge suppresser, and main
rotor field connections. Then clean the entire surface contact points on the rectifier
plates, before reassembling with new diodes and surge suppresser, and cleaned field
connections.

Stator Assembly.
The stator assembly can be rebuilt with cleaned and ideally repainted sheet metal work.
The terminal arrangement can be reassembled, with care being taken to ensure careful
routing of stator leads, clean connections, and if necessary new lead identification
markers. The wiring loom between terminals and AVR should be inspected, cleaned
and then reused if considered fully serviceable.

Rotor Assembly.
The rotor assembly should be fitted with new bearing[s], and before refitting the circlip should be examined and confirmed serviceable. The fitting of bearings should be
done in a professional manner using appropriate method to heat the bearing, and then
fit the bearing with no force being applied across the rotating element, e.g. balls.

Rotor into Stator.


The re-fitting of any Drive End adaptor ring, complete adaptor should be carried out
if it is known that this component must be fitted before the rotor assembly is inserted.
The refitting of the rebuilt rotor into the stator bore requires care and consideration to
support the rotor weight during the insertion. A Rotor bar must be used to guide the
exciter armature through the stator bore, and then the main rotor into the stator bore.
At all times taking care to ensure no damage occurs to any part of these carefully
rebuilt assemblies.

End Brackets.
These should be re-fitted in a workman like manner, and this should include a smear
of grease to all spigots and location faces, the use of new bolts, washers, or lock nuts
as required. The end bracket and its located assembly must be adequately supported
during the initial alignment, squarely aligned with the bearing, or the bearing cartridge,
and no undue or uneven force applied. As the end bracket is re-located onto the
generator frame assembly the weight of the end bracket and rotor should be supported
by suitable lifting equipment to ensure the frame / end bracket location spigots are not
damaged.

Terminal Box.
The terminal arrangement should be reassembled with due consideration of the
condition of the insulating material by inspecting for cracks, and ingrained grime
that would encourage surface tracking. New parts should always be used when the
condition of any component part is considered questionable. It is essential that great
care is taken with the accuracy of the re-connection of the wiring loom for the AVR,
and any fitted electrical / electronic accessory.
The main stator leads should be positioned and incorporated in the terminal arrangement
in such a way that ensures that the leads are not in danger of mechanical damage.
The electrical connection between the stator leads, to Customers cables must be
achieved by best possible surface-to-surface electrical contact with good and clean
contact areas. The assembly of the terminal box sheet metal work should be undertaken
with due consideration to the environment in which the generator is to operate, based
on the condition of the generator when it was first removed for overhaul. If it came in
rusty, and showing signs of water ingress then the final re-assembly of the t/box might
well benefit from the incorporation of RTV silicon sealant at the joint faces.
Typically Expected Insulation Resistance [IR] Values.
The following is offered as general information about IR values and is aimed at
providing guidance about the typical IR values for generators from New through to the
point of Refurbishment as discussed and outlined above.

New Machines:
The generators Insulation Resistance, along with many other critical factors, will have
been measured during the Newage Factory processes of manufacture, assembly and
test. The generator will have been transported with a packaging appropriate for the
journey to the Generating Set assemblers works, where it is expected it will be stored
within a weather protective building. However, absolute insurance that the generator will
arrive at the Generator set builders production line with IR values still at the factory test
levels of above 100 Mega-Ohms cannot be guaranteed.

At GenSet Manufacturers Works.


The generator should arrive at the Generator set assemblers works in a clean dry condition.
If held in appropriate storage conditions the generator IR value should be typically 25
Mega-Ohms. If the unused / new generators IR values fall below 10 Mega-Ohm then
a drying out procedure should be implemented by one of the processes outlined below
before being dispatched to the Customers site and some investigation undertaken into
the storage conditions the generator had been subjected to.

Generators in Service.
Whilst it is known that a generator will give reliable service with an IR value of just 1
Mega-Ohm, but for a relatively new generator to be this low it must have been subjected
to inappropriate operating or storage conditions.
Any temporarily reduced IR values can be restored to expected values by following the
below explained drying out procedures. Then further operation on load will complete a
thorough heating of the winding assemblies, which will completely dry-off the IR reducing
moisture.

The following is offered as helpful guidance, but should be read in


conjunction with the
Generators - Installation, Service & Maintenance Manual.
Insulation Resistance Values.
The IR value when measured on a new wound component will have values above
100MegOhm.
When in service various mechanisms will contribute to factors that will affect the IR value,
and site measurements of just a few Mega-Ohms become more typical. Major factors,
which affect and reduce the IR value, start with the winding out hang. Surface moisture,
often present in conjunction with surface contamination, is both the result of prevailing
site conditions. Either will seriously reduce measured IR values, and if the root cause that
allows this contaminant to be present is not addressed then the expected life span will
be considerably reduced. The Newage manual - Installation, Service & Maintenance
Manual - issued with every generator, in Section 7 Service and Maintenance - offers
guidance about measuring the IR value and expected typical values. If the IR measurement
is considered to be low, and further guidance and understanding about the risk of operation
of the generators insulation system is required, then the next test would be a Polarisation
Index - PI Test.

Maintaining Acceptable IR Values.


Basically, keep the wound component clean and dry, and good values of IR
are assured. But achieving the clean and dry has to be engineered into the
original Generating Set design, and then maintained by an effective On Site Care
regime. Considerations at the Engineering stage must include a way to combat
moisture and contaminants carried airborne with the cooling air especially when
the GenSet is operating in Rain, Fog, or Sea Mist etc. Then also carefully consider
the microclimate conditions that occur inside a typical GenSet canopy, especially
just after the hot unit is taken out of surface and is stopped. Within the canopy the
cooling down of the Generator set promotes high humidity levels, which result in
surfaces become wet, and this includes the generator windings. It is necessary to
find a way to combat this, and basically it requires engineered natural convection
of airflow through the canopy, to counteract the dew point situation and so keep
the levels of Relative Humidity RH - low.

Ways to Maintain High IR Values.


Anti-Con Heater
Fit the generator with an anti-condensation heater, and ensure that this is
automatically switched on when the GenSet is at rest. This will maintain a high
value of IR for windings that are already in a clean and dry condition.
GenSet Canopy Space Heater
Of a power rating capable of maintaining low RH values within the generator set
enclosure at the site environmental conditions.

Regular Use as part of Planned Maintenance


Planned routine operation of the generator set at a rating that elevates the stator
temperature to some 110C T-total for a period of say one hour will drive out
any moisture that might otherwise begin a degradation process to the Insulation
system.

Ways to Increase IR Values.


Consider a known good condition generator that has not been run for some time
but during which it has been standing in conditions of high RH. It is possible that
simply running the generator set unexcited for a period of say 10 minutes will
sufficiently dry the surface of the windings and so raise the IR sufficiently to >
1megOhm and so allow the unit to be put into service.
If the above unexcited blow-drying does not raise the IR value sufficiently then
consider separately exciting the generator with its output terminals connected by
appropriately rated short circuit links. By sep-exciting at a level such that some
80% of rated current flows through the short circuit link the generator stator inding
will start to heat up. This will drive off the embedded moisture, during a run period

Service Manual

Generator
dependant upon the size of the generator but consider:
1 hour for a BC16/18,
2 hours for a UC22/27
hours for an HC4, 5, 6&7

If the IR value remains below 1megOhm, even after the above drying methods have
been properly conducted, then a Polarisation Index test [PI] should be carried out.
This will offer some guidance about the characteristics and so reason for the leakage
current that is causing the low IR. If surface contamination is the cause, therefore
promoting surface tracking, then the generator must be removed from the engine and
stripped down to enable the stator winding to be thoroughly but carefully pressure
washed, then baked in an oven to completely dry out. If now the value of IR is acceptable,
then the stator should be treated with an over coating resin that is compatible with the
original factory impregnation, before the generator is reassembled onto the engine.

Engine Hot Shutdown Procedure (All Engines)


The following engine shutdown procedures must be adhered to at all times in
order to prevent premature failures. This allows gradual and uniform cooling down
of pistons, cylinder liners, bearings and turbocharger components.

Steps are as follows:

Gradually decrease the kW load on the generator to a no load condition.

Open the Main Circuit Breaker.

Allow the engine to run for a minimum of 5 minutes to a maximum 15 minutes


unloaded.

Monitor coolant temp gauge and ensure that there is a significant decrease in
coolant temperature as opposed to the full-load temperature.

Once the coolant temperature has reduced and stabilized, turn off the engine.

Trip / Emergency Hot-Shutdown situations:


Assess the reason for the shutdown as soon as possible.
If the fault can be cleared immediately and is not being annunciated as an active
fault / oil pressure problem e.g. Over speed or Main Circuit Breaker opening,
the engine must be restarted immediately and run at no load in order to circulate
the coolant, which will prevent heat surges in the engine. Once the engine is
restarted, run with no load for 10 minutes, after which the generator can be put
back onto load.
If the engine cannot be restarted immediately due to an active fault shutdown, the
engine must be left to cool and dissipate the heat for at least 90 minutes. Once
the fault has been repaired Barr the engine over 1 complete revolution with
the barring tool to ensure that the engine turns freely and has not sustained any
seizure/bearing damage before attempting to start the engine.
Observe the engine and gauges for 10 minutes on load to ensure all is OK.

Service Manual

Generator

Testing Procedure:
FleetGuard DCA Test Kit must be used to test the cooling system for the required level
of Corrosion Inhibitor: (Cummins Engines Only)
x

Allow the engine to cool down to room temperature before removing the radiator cap. As there
will be pressure in the cooling system and this could cause serious harm to the personnel
involved.

Do not take coolant samples from the cooling system Top tank. All samples must be taken
direct from the cooling system i.e. Radiator Bottom tank or from the cylinder block of the
engine.

To achieve the best results the coolant sample temperature must be between 10c and 55c
but room temperature is preferred before commencing with the test.

Remove a test strip from the bottle without touching any of the three test pads as this will
affect the test results. Refit the cap to the bottle as moisture ingress can damage the strips. If
the Nitrite pad has turned brown the test strip can not be used and must be discarded.

Place the test strip in the coolant sample for 1 second. Then remove test strip and shake to
remove any excess coolant.

Wait 45 seconds to allow the test pads to change colour. Then compare the pads to the colour
charts (As Below) on the fleetguard bottle in the following order.
(a) The Lower End Pad relates to the Freezepoint colour chart on
the side of the bottle.
(b) The Middle Pad relates to the Molybdate colour chart on the
left hand side of the SCA chart (As Below).
(c) The Top Pad relates to the Nitrite colour chart on the bottom
of the SCA chart.

All test pads must be compared to the colour charts no longer then 75 seconds after dipping
the strips. It is recommended to use a stopwatch for the best results.

Aggreko International Technical Services

Page No.122

April 2008

Generator

Service Manual

If a colour does not match the colour on the chart completely it is best to use the lower value
as underestimating is safer then overestimating the coolant levels.

Using the SCA colour charts select the colour that matches the test pad for Molybdate and
Nitrite. Then find where both columns intersect and this will give you the SCA units per litre in
the cooling system. See the example below.

SCA Treatment Guidelines:


Refer to the Specific Engines O&M manual for the recommended levels of SCA per Ltr
of Coolant
x
SCA below 0.3 units per litre
Add 473ml of DCA4 per 15 litres of coolant to maintain the desired level of protection.
x

SCA 0.3 to 0.8 units per litre


Add SCA service dose at each Service interval to maintain the desired level of
protection.

SCA above 0.8 units per litre


Do not add any DCA4 unit the coolant levels drop below 0.8 units per litre. Test
coolant at every Service interval.

Before commencing with the test, check the Refractometer is adjusted correctly by placing one
to two drops of distilled water on the lenses. Close the cover plate and place refractometer to
your eye. The light/dark boundary line should line up with the waterline (zero). If not adjust
the screw on top of the refractometer until the lines meet.

Clean the lenses with a soft cloth as any water on the lenses will affect the results of the test.

Allow the engine to cool down to room temperature before removing the radiator cap. As there
will be pressure in the cooling system and this could cause serous harm to the personnel
involved.

Do not take coolant samples from the cooling system Top tank. All samples must be taken
direct from the cooling system i.e. Radiator Bottom tank or the cylinder block of the engine.

The temperature of the coolant is a very important part of obtaining the correct reading. The
coolant temperature must be between 10c to 30c before the coolant is placed on the lenses.

Aggreko International Technical Services

Place 2 to 3 drops of coolant on the lenses and close the cover plate making sure that coolant
spreads evenly across the entire lenses surface. (As Below)

Lenses cover example


x

Put the refractometer up to your eye and looking to a light source you should see a shadow
line across the scale this line will indicate the freezing point of the coolant. If the scale is out of
focus the eye piece can be adjusted by rotating it in ether direction. (As shown in the Scale
below)

Prior to taking the reading it is important to establish which coolant is actually in the cooling
system, there are two types of Antifreeze available; Propylene Glycol and Ethylene Glycol as
these product have different properties there are slight differences in their performance.

The desired antifreeze must be mixed at 50/50 ratio with good quality water. The 50/50
mixture gives a -36c freezing point and a 110c boiling point (Ethylene Glycol only).

The antifreeze must be within the working range of 40% to 60% if not the levels must be
adjusted using the required specification of coolant. (See charts below for antifreeze
percentage to freezing point and boiling point)

Before commencing with the test, check that the Ph Meter has been correctly adjusted; if the
unit is Brand New it will come with a set up certificate in the box to show it has been set up by
the manufacturer.

If it is suspected the unit has not come pre set up, remove the protective cap and place the
meter in HI70300 storage solution for 2 hours to activate the electrode.

To calibrate the pH meter place the electrode in pH 7.01 (hI7007) solution.

Allow the pH reading on the display to stabilize then adjust the pH7 screw on the side of the
meter shown below in the picture. Set the meter to 7.0 pH. ( As Shown Below)

Remove the meter from the pH 7.01 solution and wash it with tap water. Now place the pH
meter in pH 4.01 (HI7004) if measuring acidic and pH 10.01 (HI7010) for alkaline.

Allow the pH reading on the display to stabilize then adjust the pH 4/10 screw on the side of
the meter (As Shown Below)

Set the meter to 4.0 pH or 10.0 pH depending on the solution used.

All transformers are to be A serviced on return from all hires.

The service standards for A services are detailed on the following pages for
Low Voltage 220-400-600V and High Voltage 400-15kV, 400-22kV transformers.
Wherever possible these services should be carried out in depot. However, for
long-term hires, where a shutdown is possible they should be carried out every 3
months. Where a shutdown is not possible the Area Operations Manager must be
informed and the A service standard detailed in section 2 must be carried out. A
planned shut down should be arranged with the client to carry out a full A Service
within the next 3 month period. Service Sticker to be affixed on the transformer
panel (switch gear area) to indicate A Service status.

All appropriate precautions shall be taken to ensure that transformer has been

7. Oil Sampling Procedure


7.1 Purpose:

The purpose of oil sampling is to determine the condition of the oil in the
transformer, to build a database on the history of each transformer and to set a
standard of how it should be done.

7.2 Method:

The oil sample of a transformer with a conservator tank must be taken from the
bottom valve of the transformer tank. The flange cover must be removed on
the sample valve, the valve must be cleaned before taking any sample. Sealed
transformers (transformers fitted in containers),need special tool for oil samples.
Drain at least 100ml into a clean dry glass or hard plastic sample container, rinse
the container with the oil and discard the oil in a safe manner, take a sample of
at least 500ml and seal the container with an air tight lid. Prolonged exposure to
direct sunlight should be avoided.

After obtaining an oil sample, the valve should be tightened and the cover should
be fitted on the flange, care should be taken that no oil leaks from the valve and
that any spillage should be cleaned.

Inspect the oil level of the transformer at the level indicator either at the
conservator tank or at the level indicator on top of the transformer. Topping up
of the transformer should only be done with new clean moisture free oil and is
done by filling the conservator or filling at the DGPT unit on sealed transformers
to the required level. Record the transformer details (Serial no and type)on the
container and the date when the sample was taken. The sample must be sent for
analysis.

The results of the oil sample must be recorded in the commissioning document
before putting a transformer in service. Oil samples should be taken at least every
six months after date of commissioning due to the age and the high temperatures
of these transformers.

All container-mounted transformers need to have their oil tested, topped up and
results recorded prior to being shipped out on a new project. The HV transformers
will have their tests done on site after erection of the transformer.

Fuel Tank Cylinder Capacity


In order to find the capacity of fuel inside a cylindrical tank based on the
height of the fuel, we need to find the cross section area of the fuel. The cross
section area of the fuel is actually the area of sector of the circle where the
fuel lies subtracted by the area of the triangle. The fuel cross section area will
then be multiply to the length of the tank to get the volume of the fuel inside
the tank.
For the fuel below the center line (below 1075mm):
Fuel cross section area = (area of sector area of triangle) x length of the tank
Example: From the drawing shown, what will be the capacity of fuel? Note: the
fuel height in the sight glass is 850mm.
Fuel tank dimensions: OD (outside diameter) = 2.162 m
ID (inside diameter) = 2.150 m
Length = 5.808 m

L55 and TLL50 Installation Instructions

DESCRIPTION
Designed for the use with the Fozmula T/LL50 series of transducers, the Fozmula L55 Controller
not only monitors liquid level, but also controls the level as well.
The liquid level is displayed on a large built in meter as well as being represented by three industry
standard analogue outputs for remote monitoring and control.
Control of the liquid level is achieved by four internal change-over relays which can be set to
operate at any level from 0-100%. Typically two of the relays are used to control a latching pump
contactor and the other two relays used to give high and low level alarms.
The Fozmula L55 controller is factory set to operate from one of three AC voltage supplies. In
addition it can operate from a 24 Volt DC supply. If both supplies are connected simultaneously
then the controller will take its power from the AC supply and only if this supply fails will it draw any
power from the DC supply. If the controller is normally AC driven then providing battery backup
simply involves connecting the battery supply to the L55.

INSTALLATION
1. Decide where to mount the controller and drill four fixing holes in the mounting surface. The
fixing hole centres are given on the back of the enclosure. Remove the lid to gain access to
the mounting holes and fix the box to the mounting surface using four M4 x 25mm screws
or similar.
2. Install the T/LL50 Transducer in the required measurement location. Connect the T/LL50
level transducer to the controller with terminal 1 of the transducer connected to terminal 1 of
the controller etc.
3. Connect any of the required outputs to remote metering, monitoring or recording
equipment, observing the polarity for each output as shown on the circuit board. Unused
outputs can be left unconnected.
4. Connect the relay contacts to external contactors to provide latching pump control and
alarm functions as required. (NB. Any inductive load connected to the controller such as a
contactor must have a suppression circuit fitted to its coil to prevent the inducted back EMF
from damaging the on board relays. The contactor supplier will normally supply these to
match).
5. Ensuring the supply is isolated connect the power cables to the controller. The polarity of
the AC supply is not important and because the enclosure is double insulated no earth
connection is required. The polarity of the DC supply must be observed.
6. All that remains is to set up the relay switching points. This should be done initially with
power isolated from the external pumps and alarms. Apply power to the unit. The meter
should now be displaying the liquid level.
7. Just to the right of centre of the circuit board are four black micro switches and to the right
of each of these is an adjuster labelled 1 4. These correspond to relays 1 4. To set relay
1, press and hold the top micro switch and look at the meter. It is now displaying the level at
which relay 1 is set to switch. Now gently turn adjuster 1 until the meter displays the
switching level you require. Release the micro switch. The meter automatically reverts back
to displaying liquid level.
8. Repeat the operation with each of the relay set points and finally re-check all four by
pressing each of the micro switches in turn.
9. Finally, screw the lid into position and apply power to any external circuitry.
10. Installation of the Model L55 Controller is now complete.

Cummins KTA- 50
Valve Spring failure

Aggreko International

Date: 25 November 2007


Page: 2 of 5
Status: Final

Problem:
Cummins have identified a design issue with the KTA valve rotators which causes the valve
springs to break.
The reason for the valve spring failure is detailed below:
x

The root cause of the failure is the (1) thickness of the valve rotator Part No 3081081,
causing (2) a high surface contact pressure on top coil of the spring (3) causing the
two surfaces to fret together and initiate a fracture point as shown below:

Identification
With the rocker covers removed and the piston in the TDC position, inspect all valves springs for
signs of damage as shown in the picture below. Cummins have found that the majority of the
valve springs that have broken have been on the exhaust valves and all failure have been as
shown below on the first coil of the spring.

Action Required
To limit the risk of further power cylinder failures the following inspections MUST be carried out:
All engines over 6,000 hours MUST be inspected as soon as you receive this information
and then every 2000hr there after.
If any broken springs are found during the inspection the cylinder head MUST be removed and
the valves and piston crowns inspected, if a bore-o-scope is available this inspection may be done
through the injector hole.
If there HAS BEEN Valve to piston contact, Both inlet or both exhaust valves (which ever pair has
made contact with the piston crown) must be replaced using the latest Cummins Part numbers,
the relevant valve springs, rotators and collets MUST also be replaced
If there HAS NOT been any valve to piston contact, the valve springs, rotators and collets MUST
be replaced straight away and using the latest Cummins part numbers.
This inspection MUST be noted on the A Service sheet as being completed in the comments
section of the document.
All repairs carried out MUST be completed by a competent technician and Component Failure
Report completed and sent to technical.records@aggreko.ae
Cummins Part Numbers:

Valve Rotator Part Number 3081081


Valve Spring Part Number 3633840

Future Component Design Changes:


In 2008 Cummins will be introducing a reduced thickness valve rotator (-0.5 mm) to relieve the
pressure on the first coil of the valve spring, part number to be advised:

- 0.5 mm

Conclusion
While the actions above may not completely eliminate any further valve spring failures we hope to
minimize downtime and prolong engine life by completing these inspections.
If there any further questions on the information provided please contact Technical Services Jebel

Objective:
This document has been created to assist with the conversion of any XADA QSK45 Gempac
machine that has suffered an Allen Bradley HMI Failure.

Product History:
The models of HMI Screen used in these machines are now obsolete and the alternative unit
offered by Allen Bradley would require the following:
1. A Purchase order for 4000!
2. The control panel to be modified to accommodate the larger screen.
3. The version of RS View software used in the previous screen is not compatible with
the new screen, in turn a further development of a new file to run on the new screen.

Objectives
This Product Bulletin has been created to highlight to all depots and projects changes made to the
turbocharger oil feed lines for the KTA-50-G3 & the QSK-45-G4 series engines.
The new oil feed line aims to prevent:
-

Further equipment damage and the potential fire risk.


Oil from the turbocharger feed line leaking onto the turbocharger exhaust turbine
housing.
The risk of the pipe clamp rubbing through the turbocharger oil feed line.
Down time of machines.

Product History
The turbocharger oil feed line used on the KTA-50-G3 and QSK-45-G4 engines, has shown to have
had a high failure rate due the design of the pipe and the way that the turbocharger oil feed line
was secured to the engine, the turbocharger oil feed line clamps rub through the hose causing oil
to spray onto the turbocharger exhaust turbine housing, which then could cause a potential fire
hazard.
MO60189 was released to cover this modification on all QSK-45-G4 engines and MUST be quoted
on all Component Change Notes completed for these engines.

Design Changes & Recommendations


There has now been a solution introduced by extending the adapter into the turbocharger,
replacing the turbocharger oil feed line (As Required), Kevlar wrapping all turbocharger oil feed
lines, re clamping and positioning the turbo feed line so that it is not disturbed during
maintenance of the valves and injectors.
During the installation of these components the Viton O-rings must be replaced.
If the turbocharger oil feed line is over 12000 hours, replace the feed line with the latest design.

Design Changes by Baldwin Filters


As Baldwin is our world wide supplier of filters in response to the above model change
they cut in the PF7790-30 replaceable element to accommodate the design changes that
Racor had made with the introduction of the FH unit.

With the introduction of this element incorporating the added features of the FH unit we
have had full cross compatibility between the FG and the FH range of filter assemblies

Baldwin PF7890-30 Introduction.


Baldwin have modified there tooling and discontinued producing the PF7790-30.
The replacement element will be the PF7890-30.

This new design filter element has given us back our full cross compatibility between both
styles of unit, that we had previously.

As we have No Cut in Date or Plant Number for the introduction of this Design Change
we thought it was best to highlight this issue to you as early as possible and explain the
changes as best we could.
Operational issues and considerations
The issue will be relevant to three nodes of machine, the 500kva Scania, 800kva Cummins
QST30 and 1250kva Cummins KTA-50-G3.
Racor have not changed the part no of there Standard fitted element so the only time you
will know you have a problem is when you go to change the filters.

The picture above shows the difference between the three elements (Left to Right):
1. The New PF7890-30 Element.
2. The STD fitment 100 micron washable Racor element
3. And the discontinued PF7790-30 Element.
The above mentioned 100micron Racor element could be cleaned and if need be refitted
until you receive the correct elements.
All orders placed on Baldwin for PF7790-30 will automatically be replaced with PF7890-30
All orders placed on Jebel Ali will have to be monitored and corrected by the amount of
Post 01-2005 machines you have in your fleet.

Page: 1 of 2
Status: Final.

Objective.
The objective of this bulletin is to make our engineers aware of the fact that the fuel pump on the
QSK45 engine is fitted with an internal fuel filter.
We have had occasions where fuel pump actuators and complete fuel pump assemblies have been
changed and all that was required was the internal filters required to be cleaned.
If the engine suffers from Fuel Pump Pressure Issues, High Fuel Pump Actuator Currents,
Hunting etc even after all fuel filters have been changed please carry out the following step before
changing any further components :Fuel Pump Actuator Filter screen.
1. Isolate the fuel supply at the Racor filter outlet valves and remove the control panel key.
2. Unplug the control harness from the fuel pump actuator and unscrew the actuator from the
fuel pump.
3. Between the two Green O-Rings you will see a black Gauze, Un-clip the Gauze and spray the
actuator and Gauze with an Aerosol lubricant i.e. WD40 to remove any debris, repeat as
required.
4. Re fit the Gauze, lubricate the O-ring with Aerosol lubricant and refit, Do Not Over tighten,
refer to the Workshop Manual for torque setting.
5. Reconnect the wiring Extension Harness.

The following information should be used as guidance when carrying out any Repairs or
Maintenance involving the Alternator drive coupling on both KTA50 and QSK45 NHC20
containers:
x

If the coupling is dismantled for the replacement of the drive elements all parts
should be thoroughly cleaned and the drive elements replaced as a Complete Set,
There have been occasions noted where only the worn drive side elements have
been renewed, this mismatch of the elements may lead to added stresses being put
on the alternator bearings and may be contributing to early life failures.

All new elements must be coated with the Renold Silicone Lubricant before fitting.

The following part no should be used when ordering replacement drive elements:
KTA50-G3
QSK45-G4
Renold Silicone Lubricant

14 of Part No 555267
16 of Part No 555378
Part No 3568588/00/401

If for any reason the Drive Coupling has to be removed from the Alternator Drive
Shaft the following procedure should be followed:

Removal
1. Dismantle the drive coupling assembly, retain all parts.
2. Mount the coupling puller as shown in drawing below:

3. Position the 20/50 ton Hydraulic Jack in the centre of the shaft.
4. Clean the Drive Shaft and lubricate the surface with oil to ease the removal of the
Drive Member.

4. Before commencing to the next step, set up a suitable lifting device to lift the
coupling from the Oil Bath or Oven (Corner Post crane, chain block and wire sling).
5. Heat the coupling drive member to 120C in either an Oil Bath or an Oven, this
temperature must be maintained to allow the coupling to expand enough to slide
freely onto the shaft, the Infra Red Heat Gun on site can be used to check this
temperature.
6. Finally clean the Drive Shaft and lubricate the shaft with a thin coating of anti seize
copper grease.
7. Have a 14lb hammer and a block of hard wood next to the alternator in case the
coupling binds to the shaft during fitting.
8. Lift the coupling using the drive blades as shown opposite,
Key way to the top:

9. Taking GREAT care, position the coupling on to the shaft,


using a suitable insulated pair of Gloves or blanket push the coupling all the way
onto the shaft until it is hard against the shaft spacer.
10. The coupling will now have to be left to cool, Place a HOT sign on the alternator
so that everyone is aware of the hazard.
11. Once the coupling has cooled to normal temperature, assemble the drive coupling
as shown below:

17. The crankshaft should be carefully prised as far forward as it will go with reasonable
force with a suitable crow bar as shown below:

18. The Dial/Clock gauge should now be set at the zero point and the Crankshaft moved
towards the alternator, with reasonable pressure maintained on the crankshaft
towards the alternator the reading should be taken from the Dial/Clock gauge, this
reading should be check more than once to have a clear reading.
19. Once this clearance has been measured, the Alternator can be connected to the
engine and ALL Drive coupling and Bell housing bolts torgued in line with the
attached sheet.
20. Steps 15 to 18 must now be repeated to verify there is no pressure being applied to
the Crankshaft thrust bearings, the reading recorded must be recorded again on the
Component Change/Service sheet.
21. If the measurement recorded corresponds with the previous reading then clearly
there is no issue with the coupling assembly.
22. Replace the crankcase door Gasket/seal and replace the door.

If any further guidance is required please contact Technical Services, Jebel Ali
