5.6.Fuel
The fuel to be used on your generator set, should be complying with the standards and specifications below in
order for a reliable and environment friendly operation.
* EN590 * ASTM D975 NO 1-D, 2-D
* JIS K2204 TYPE 1,2,3 * ISO 8217 DMX-CLASS
* DIN 51601 DIESEL FUEL * BS 2869 CLASS-A1, A2
The temperature of the fuel to be used, should not be exceeding 40˚C.
NOTE: More details about the required fuel specification can be found in the Engine Operation and Maintenance
Manual.
Sulphur content of fuel must meet the legal norms in each country. If the Sulphur content exceeds 0.5%, then the
engine oil must be changed more frequently.
5.7.Maintenance of Batteries
Different types of batteries can be used in generator sets. Maintenance free batteries are used in TEKSAN
products. They are completely enclosed and does not require any pure water addition.
Discharge duration is long for batteries on TEKSAN products, because their internal resistance is very low (5
milliohm).
Since the batteries are completely based on oxygen recombination principle, no waste gas is formed and there is
no gas release on these batteries. They are also equipped with special low-pressure safety valves for this same
reason.
Operating temperature range for these batteries is very wide (approximately between -20°C and 60°C).
Chemical energy is converted to electric energy in batteries, so there are several chemical reactions in battery
cells. Since these chemical reactions are reversible, the batteries can be charged and discharged many times.
These batteries can be used (charged/discharged) up to approximately 4 years, they must be replaced after then.
Another widely used battery type is lead acid type, which is formed of positive and negative electrodes immersed
into the electrolyte (sulphuric acid) inside cells between sheet plates.
