Co Generation

07/15/2009 5:36 PM

I am going to abandon the daily use of my natural gas piston co generation system but keep the system available for emergancy use. Does anyone have a procedure in place to accomplish this? The system operates in a K-12 educational facility

My company has a protocol in place that has our system ran for 2 hrs on a monthly basis. To test all contorl options and ensure that all the components are in good working order in the event of an emegency. It typicaly take us 8 hrs to fire up and then shut down after the test run. But we run off Landfill gas so there is more to it then just start it up and shut it down.

So far this has worked great for us we have been able to maintain our system and catch any problems before we needed the system online. I hope this helps

The CSA standard "CAN/CSA C282-05 Emergency Electrical Power Supply for Buildings" has all of the info you need to ensure this system is ready when you need it.

It's a good standard, but I'm prejudiced.

You can get it here.
