As temperatures rise and heavy rainfall becomes more frequent, gas(power) generator systems require special attention to maintain reliability. Unlike diesel generator units, gas-powered industrial generators have unique maintenance needs—especially in summer. Here’s how to keep your system running efficiently.
1. Cooling System Inspection (Prevent Overheating)
l High ambient temperatures can strain generator cooling systems. Key checks:
l Clean air filters – Dust and debris reduce airflow, increasing engine heat.
l Inspect coolant levels – Top up if low, and check for leaks.
l Verify radiator function – Ensure no blockages from dirt or insects.
Pro Tip: If your facility also uses diesel pump generators, apply similar cooling system checks.
2. Moisture Protection (Critical for Rainy Season)
l Humidity and heavy rain can damage electrical components. Prevent issues by:
l Checking seals & enclosures – Prevent water ingress in control panels.
l Using moisture-absorbing packs – Place near sensitive parts if needed.
l Inspecting fuel lines – Ensure no condensation in gas supply systems.
Note: If your site relies on battery energy storage systems (BESS), moisture protection is equally vital.
3. Fuel System Maintenance (Avoid Contamination)
l Gas generators are less prone to fuel degradation than diesel generators, but still need care:
l Monitor gas pressure – Fluctuations can affect performance.
l Inspect for leaks – Use soapy water to detect escaping gas.
l Drain condensate traps – Prevents water buildup in pipelines.
Comparison: While diesel generator prices may be lower upfront, gas units typically have lower long-term fuel costs.
4. Load Testing (Ensure Readiness for Peak Demand)
l Summer often means higher power usage. Conduct a full load test to:
l Verify voltage stability
l Check exhaust emissions
l Confirm automatic transfer switches work
For Hybrid Systems: If paired with solar power battery packs, test how the generator supplements renewable energy during low-sun periods.
5. Long-Term Storage Tips (If Not in Use)
If the generator will be idle:
l Run it monthly to lubricate internal parts
l Disconnect batteries to prevent drainage
l Store in a dry, ventilated area
Why Gas Generators Outperform Diesel in Summer
l Lower risk of overheating (vs. diesel generators)
l No fuel gelling issues (common in diesel units in cold weather)
l Cleaner operation – Critical for indoor/urban installations
