4.0 INSTALLATION
4.1. UNPACKING
Ensure that the correct fork lift truck slots or marked lifting / tie down points are used whenever the
machine is lifted or transported.
4.2. LOCATION OF THE PLANT
The generator can be installed on any solid, flat and level surface capable of supporting the full
operating load of the package. A dry, well-ventilated area where the atmosphere is as clean as
possible is recommended. Ensure that the machine is positioned securely and on a stable
foundation.
CAUTION: A minimum of 1 metre (3 ft) all round the generator is recommended. Hot air
will exit from the roof outlet. It is important that this hot air does not re-circulate to the
package inlet.
The generator must be allowed sufficient space all round and above, to enable the effective removal
of the cooling air which, in turn, will reduce the risk of re–circulating the cooling air back through the
generator. Adequate clearance needs to be allowed around and above the machine to permit safe
access for specified maintenance tasks. Hard surfaces may reflect noise with an apparent increase
in the decibel level. It is recommended that provision be made for lifting heavy components during
major overhaul.

NOTE: The oil centrifuge will continue to rotate after the engine has been switched off. Care
should be taken that it has stopped rotating before any maintenance is carried out on it.
5.7. ENGINE COOLING SYSTEM
The engine cooling consists of a pump, thermostat, heater and radiator assembly.
Cooling fluid is from the radiator, through the pump, which is belt driven from the engine pulley. The
thermostat controls the flow to the radiator. The radiator assembly is mounted at the front of the
engine, with the fan mounted on the front of the engine.
Cooling air enters the generator through the canopy end louvers and noise attenuation baffles. This
air then passes into the canopy
space then across the radiator
assembly.
The cooling air exits through the
roof of the package.
The coolant is factory filled with
Shell anti-freeze and anti-corrosion
coolant, in 50-50 water-coolant
concentration, providing protection
to –32°C. Please consult Aggreko if
filling is required.
There is a radiator expansion tank
fitted to this unit that should be
checked, prior to starting the unit,
that it is filled between the ‘min’ and Figure 5.1 – Radiator Expansion Tank
‘max’ lines on the tank (see Figure
5.1).
5.8. ENGINE FUEL SYSTEM
The engine fuel system consists of an internal fuel tank, Racor filter (see Figure 5.2), fine fuel filter,
fuel pump, injection pump and nozzles.

Date: 18/06/07
Fuel can be taken from either an external or the internal fuel tank. A manual selection valve is used
to select the fuel supply direction. Fuel is then pumped through the Racor filter to the fine fuel filters
and then passed to the injectors and then to the injection nozzles.
The internal fuel tank has a fuel capacity of 930 Litres. Low warning and low shut-off sensors are
fitted in the internal fuel tank. The fuel tank fill point is internal. There are 2 cleaning ports on the fuel
tank that are all accessible through the canopy doors.
External fuel supply can be connected to the package using the ½” BSP Adaptors. Internal supply
and return fittings/valves must be re-configured to ensure that the engine fuel is not drawn from the
onboard supply.
The use of ASTM No. 2D fuel is recommended for optimum engine performance. At operating
temperatures below 0°C, acceptable performance can be obtained using blends of No. 1 and No. 2D.
The use of lighter fuels can reduce economy. The viscosity of fuels must be kept above 1.3 cSt to
provide adequate lubrication.
Refer to manufacturers data for all filter information.
5.9. EXHAUST SYSTEM
The exhaust system consists of the exhaust ducting, exhaust silencer complete with spark arrestor
and rain cap assembly. The exhaust gases exit the engine and are passed through the exhaust
ducting and exhaust, out the top of the canopy through the rain cap assembly. Insulation and heat
shields are fitted to the exhaust ducting to prevent user contact with high temperature surfaces.

• Loadsharing capability between 5510 and older unit with conventional parallel loadsharing
lines (see “modes of operation” for further details)
• Baseload or parallel to mains operation (see “modes of operation” for further details)
• Comprehensive range of alarms
• Compatible with different alternator configurations
• Support of electronic engines via J1939 CANBUS interface
• On Aggreko canopy sets, binary inputs on the 5510 controller are configured for remote
start input, circuit breaker status and alarms, e.g. Low fuel level or Earth leakage. Where
POWERLINK plugs are fitted, 3 further binary inputs are used.
• Analogue inputs are typically configured for low oil pressure, high water temperature (either
senders or discrete switches) and fuel gauge (where fitted). For Scania DC12/16 electronic
engines, the analogue input for water temperature is reconfigured as speed control from
POWERLINK where POWERLINK is specified. Please note that this input (and hence
external speed control) is only active when a POWERLINK panel is connected.
• Binary outputs are configured for circuit breaker open and close and, where fitted, for Air
flap closed (on offshore sets). In addition, one output is dedicated to provide a common
alarm output which provides a positive DC signal in the event of any alarm.

8.0 LUBRICATION
8.1. GENERAL INFORMATION
Lubrication is an essential part of preventive maintenance, affecting to a great extent the useful life of
the unit. Different lubricants are needed and some components in the unit require more frequent
lubrication than others. Therefore, it is important that the instructions regarding types of lubricants
and the frequency of their application be explicitly followed. Periodic lubrication of the moving parts
reduces to a minimum the possibility of mechanical failures.
The Preventive Maintenance Schedule shows those items requiring regular service and the interval
in which they should be performed. A regular service program should be developed to include all
items and fluids. These intervals are based on average operating conditions. In the event of
extremely severe (hot, cold, dusty or wet) operating conditions, more frequent lubrication than
specified may be necessary. Details concerning lubrication of the running gear are in Maintenance
Section.
8.2. GENERATOR OIL CHANGE
These units are normally furnished with an initial supply of oil sufficient to allow operation of the unit
for approximately 6 months or 400 hours, although this should be in line with the current service best
practise. The unit will however need to be topped up with oil during this period. If a unit has been
completely drained of all oil, it must be refilled with new oil before it is placed in operation. Refer to
specifications in Lubrication Table.
NOTICE: Some oil types are incompatible when mixed and result in the formation of varnishes,
shellacs, or lacquers that may be insoluble. Such deposits can cause serious problems including
clogging of the filters. Where possible, do NOT mix oils of different types and avoid mixing different
brands. A type or brand change is best made at the time of a complete oil drain and refill.
If the unit has been operated for the time/ hours mentioned above, it should be completely drained of
oil. If the unit has been operated under adverse conditions, or after long periods in storage, an earlier
change period may be necessary as oil deteriorates with time as well as by operating conditions.
An oil change is good insurance against the accumulation of dirt, sludge, or oxidized oil products.
Completely drain the reservoir, piping, and Purafiner system. If the oil is drained immediately after
the unit has been run for some time, most of the sediment will be in suspension and, therefore, will
drain more readily. However, the fluid will be hot and care must be taken to avoid contact with the
skin or eyes.
After the unit has been completely drained of all old fluid, close the drain valve. Add oil in the
specified quantity at the filler plug. Tighten the filler plug and run the machine to circulate the oil.
Check the oil level when unit is warm and not running. If not near the middle of the dipstick, stop the
unit and make corrections. DO NOT OVERFILL.
