What Is Fluid Analysis for Your Generator?
Our generator fluid analysis service consists of testing your generator’s vital fluids to identify any problems with its major components before they cause a decline in performance. The three main areas of testing include:
Oil
An oil analysis can detect contaminants such as glycol, water and dirt, as well as signs of wear. Oil testing options include cleanliness, contamination, spectral analysis percent fuel and condition.
Fuel
Fuel tests reveal the overall fuel quality and identify any bacteria or fungus buildup, which can plug your fuel filter.
Coolant
Coolant testing assesses the fluid’s chemical structure to determine whether it has the right balance for maximum performance and efficiency. We can perform basic coolant testing to identify these levels or a comprehensive analysis that includes the coolant’s effects on the cooling system.
