Generator Fluid Testing and Maintenance
Fluid testing and maintenance involves performing routine checks of lubricants, coolants and combustion fuels to ensure your standby generator system works properly and safely. Annual testing can detect unusual wear and contamination, which avoids unplanned down time and extends the life of your power system.
Our comprehensive Generator fluid tests
The products that run your system, cool it and lubricate its moving parts all require maintenance. These include:
Since 80% of emergency generator engine failures are fuel-related, we recommend this service when your generator runs on diesel. This test can determine if there is fuel deterioration or debris in the bottom of your tank. We inspect for microorganism contamination, rust, sludge, or water accumulation, and we test the fuel flash point.
Our oil analysis inspects the lubricant’s thickness, temperature response, and contamination with abrasive solids, metal shards, or additives. Each of these gives us thorough insight into your engine’s condition. This helps us determine the next steps to keep your equipment functioning properly.
Our coolant analysis prevents contaminants from spreading through your generator engine. We test for water intrusion, PH changes outside acceptable levels, freeze point, and spectral analysis.
