Generator Set..What Supplier Might Not Telling You!

Today I learned a very important thing...the thing that some of the Generator Set (genset) supplier hidden from you or maybe something that the supplier overlook into...the coolant for genset!

Due to some incident at other projects..the Client requesting us to inspect on the coolant’s  liquid for those genset installed at site.

Surprisingly, we notice that those genset are only filled with water inside its radiation system but there are no coolant being added in. We taking sample of the coolant liquid and the colour are plain white. It indicate that, no coolant liquid being added and the radiator is only filled with water.

Normally, the coolant liquid are coloured green (some might colour red).

Water is actually one of the cooling agents. However, as the genset generally made from metal, using water are not advisable as the metal tend to rust.

So, those water need to be drained out and the radiator must be fully flushed. Then, refill the coolant into the radiator...make sure you witness the process!

So guys, BEWARE..do check the coolant liquid for your genset.
