Oilfield generators are critical equipment for remote worksites and camps across Alberta, Saskatchewan, British Columbia, and beyond, as they ensure that these sites have the power they need to work and rest. At D&R Generators, we’ve been helping worksites across Western Canada with their power demands with our offering of generators for sale and rent, our maintenance services, and wide selection of generator parts.
Next, we will discuss the critical components of oilfield generators and how to determine if parts have worn out. Keep reading to learn more!
Exploring Vital Generator Components
Large oilfield generators contain several key components that ensure power production and safety, such as the engine, alternator, fuel system, voltage regulator, and cooling system. While the engine in a large generator will turn mechanical energy into electrical through the use of the alternator and fuel system, at the same time, the voltage regulator manages the output controls, and the cooling system helps prevent overheating.
If any of these generator parts begin to break down or become worn out, your generator faces performance issues and several safety risks. While D&R Generators’ rental units are maintained in tip-top condition, if your job consists of running the generator for extended periods (upwards of 10,000 hours), then there’s a good chance that you’ll need to replace some components over time. Fortunately, our team offers regular maintenance on our generator rentals. That way, you can ensure your unit continues to operate at peak performance with specialists you can trust.
Identifying Wear and Tear
Whether you’re renting a generator from D&R, recently purchased a unit, or have been running an oilfield generator for months already, it’s essential to be aware of the signs that your unit needs to be serviced.
For instance, if you’ve recently spotted leaks on the floor of your generator’s doghouse, that’s likely a sign that a generator part needs replacing. Alternatively, it’s time for a service call if your unit is making abnormal noises or getting louder.
Often, the only way to tell if your generator needs new parts is to have one of D&R Generators’ Red Seal mechanics visit your site for a checkup. As previously mentioned, high-hour jobs can make certain generator parts more prone to wear and tear as they are used to their maximum lifespan. At D&R, we offer generator maintenance services and parts. That way, you can ensure your oilfield generator runs at maximum capacity.
