CASE STUDY
Trusted by Leading Organisations
A leading educational institution in the UK faced operational challenges with its generator system, requiring remedial actions and comprehensive DSE reprogramming. Issues included coolant-related concerns, cracked heater hoses, and potential faults in the generator sets.
At one of the sites, a series of critical tasks were executed to ensure the optimal performance of the generator system. Beginning with a thorough coolant flush, the team meticulously purged the system, effectively enhancing its overall functionality. Furthermore, an onsite replacement of a cracked heater hose was undertaken, acting as a preventive measure to avoid potential damages and guarantee the system’s longevity. The coolant system was then replenished with fresh coolant, contributing to its efficiency and reliability.
Meanwhile, at a different site, specific measures were implemented to boost the generator’s efficiency. The team replaced the air filter, a crucial component in maintaining the system’s optimal performance. In addition, a meticulous off-load operation was conducted on the generator sets, revealing no further faults and affirming the system’s reliability.
As part of the project’s comprehensive approach, the controller was reprogrammed to seamlessly return to the auto position upon the completion of the work, ensuring automated functionality. The entire process, encompassing site entry to permit closure, was executed diligently within the stipulated time frame.
