CAT 18.5 Storage of gensets and system components Due to project requirements, gensets, switchgears and system components might have to be stored until they are installed. The following points should be observed during storage: + the storage area must be dry and properly ventilated + the storage area must be heated if the temperature is likely to fall below the dew point due to daily ‘or seasonal change © the storage area must be frost-proof (On the technical data sheets for the specific components, storage temperatures are indicated which depend (on the materials installed in the components. In particular seals made of elastomers grow brittle as a consequence of frost and can be easily destroyed. For switch cabinets with semiconductor electronic circults, storage temperatures in the range from -10 to +50 °C are indicated. Especially during transport and also during storage in harbors or at haulers, itis not always possible to comply with the conditions described above. We accept no liability for damages caused by frost or dampness. Corrosion protection is applied to the inside and outside of the gas engines for a period of 24 months. If the fengine is stored for longer than the protection allows, an additional protection treatment is necessary. The length of protection provided is valid only ifthe storage conditions described above are complied with, Gonoratore must be rotated overy 6 monthe, rogardloce of whother they are individually etored or inetallod in a genset ‘System components which are installed in the open air during operation can also be stored in the open air. ‘These are, for example, ventilator coolers or exhaust silencers. 02969908,
