Controlpak Maintenance Philosophy of Diesel Engines Australia

The following are details of our Australian Diesel Engines Company standard Maintenance Philosophy and Service Criteria for Diesel Generating Sets, associated control systems, fuel tanks and installation wiring.

Diesel Engines Maintenance Philosophy. Part A)

We recommend that in house maintenance personnel, if available, operate a regular maintenance procedure and log all visits and observations. From our experience we recommend these visits be approximately once every month and that the generating sets be run,
either:-

i) on the designated building load for the period it takes for the engine temperature to stabilize.

ii) on no load for the short period it takes to observe an rise engine oil pressure. Any longer would cause the engine to slobber and leak unburned fuel oil into the exhaust system.

Maintenance Philosophy Part B)

We also recommend that our service and maintenance crew visit every three (3) months for a general inspection, including checking of the starter battery and charger and functional testing.

Maintenance Philosophy. Part C)

We also recommend that our service and maintenance crew visit every twelve (12) months for a general inspection, including checking as stated in B) above plus the changing of oil, oil filters, fuel filters and the option of a full load test on our resistive load bank. We recommend this service be done on all new contracts. The Recommended 12 Months Maintenance and Service Criteria. After notifying the installation operator and obtaining a permit to work, we would carry out the work. Should any delay be encountered in obtaining this work permit, which is outside our control, then this time would be charged separately at the normal rate.
