9.4 Overview of the mechanical
options
The following mechanical options are available:
– Quick couplings
– Skid fuel tank
– Integrated spark arrestor
– Air inlet shut-off valve
– Spillage free skid
9.5 Description of the
mechanical options
9.5.1 Quick couplings
The option Quick couplings allows to bypass the
internal fuel tank and to connect an external fuel tank
to the unit.
Make sure that:
– the large coupling is used for the inlet.
– the small coupling is used for the outlet.
9.5.2 Integrated spark arrestor
The integrated spark arrestor option is included in the
refinery equipment pack.
9.5.3 Air inlet shut-off valve
The engine air inlet shut-off valve option is included
in the refinery equipment pack. It will prevent over-
speeding of the engine due to combustible gases
being traced within the normal engine air intake.
9.5.4 Spillage free skid
A Spillage free skid with forklift slots allows the
customer to transport the generator easily with a
forklift. It avoids accidental spilling of engine fluids
and thus helps to protect the environment.
The leaking fluid can be removed via drain holes,
secured by drain plugs. Tighten the plugs firmly and
check for leakages. When removing the leaking fluid,
observe all relevant local legislation.
