System Reliability Requires Smart Testing and Maintenance

EPSS Reliability Requires Smart Maintenance

"Reliability and infrastructure health are not guaranteed simply by investing in and installing new equipment. Unexpected failures can compromise even the most robust facility infrastructure if appropriate testing, maintenance and due diligence teqhniques are not employed." Reprint from the BITS Guide To Critical Power, http://www.bitsinfo.org/.

Most emergency power supply system (EPSS) failures occurr because of the lack of smart maintenance and smart testing of equipment and fluids. Some facilities ignore the regular testing and maintenance and then simply replace major equipment when its condition deteriorates past the break even ROI or useable service life.  NFPA 110 has addressed the need for testing and maintenance and has updated testing and maintenance requirements in the standard.

Fuel Treatment

With winter fast approaching it is important to speak with your fuel supplier about the additive package they use in your winter fuel.  We have seen problems in the past with additive packages.  The problem seems to be more pronounced when your engines are of the common rail type.  These engines use extreme pressure on the supply fuel side prior to the injectors.  In several cases (found in the mining community) there has been a thick brown residue on the injector tips and on the piston crown.  In all of these known cases the engine suffered serious power loss and in some instances downtime.  We do however know that on vehicles where we have installed the fuel conditioner the engine suffered no injector related problems or downtime.  To learn more go to http://www.cleanfuelmanagement.com/ and click on mining.  To learn more about our complete fuel catalyst go to www.cleanfuelmanagement.com/p_fcatalyst.html.
