At Simply Reliable Power, we understand that different applications demand unique solutions. That's why FG Wilson diesel generators can be fitted with a variety of options to enhance their performance and reliability in specific environments. In this blog post, we'll explore the customizable options available for FG Wilson diesel generators, using the P850-1 model, powered by a Perkins 2806 engine, as an example to showcase these features.
- Heavy Duty Air Filters: One of the standout features that can be added to FG Wilson generators is heavy-duty air filters. These filters are designed for longer service intervals, making them ideal for prime power applications or dusty environments. By extending the time between filter changes, these air filters ensure that your generator operates efficiently, even in challenging conditions. They are also easy to open, service, and replace, adding convenience to their durability.
- Coolant Heater: FG Wilson generators can be equipped with a coolant heater that maintains the coolant temperature at an ideal 100°F (37°C). This feature is crucial for easier engine starts, especially in cooler environments where battery performance can suffer. While not commonly used in the Caribbean, it's highly recommended if there's a chance of cooler conditions at your installation site.
- Fuel Level Sender: A digital fuel sender can be fitted to FG Wilson generators, which not only indicates the fuel level but also sends an alarm when the fuel level is low. This can be read on the display or through remote monitoring. More importantly, it can activate a shutdown before the fuel runs out, preventing the need for priming and removing air from the system, which can be a challenging task.
- Anti-Condensation Heater: Also known as a space heater, the anti-condensation heater is essential for high humidity conditions like those found in the Caribbean. This heater keeps the windings within the alternator dry, preventing corrosion and premature failure. It operates by being plugged into the AC power at the installation site, turning off when the generator is running and remaining on during downtime to keep the alternator protected.
- Permanent Magnet Generator (PMG): The PMG kit provides an independent source of excitation for the alternator, which is especially useful for applications with high starting motor requirements or varying load situations. This includes operations such as pumps, heavy equipment with multiple electric motors, rock crushing plants, and welding. The PMG ensures stable performance in these demanding environments.
- Battery Charger: To ensure the generator is always ready to operate, a battery charger keeps the battery fully charged and ready to start the generator whenever needed. It's another feature that plugs into the AC current at the site, ensuring reliability and preparedness.
- Dry Contacts: For enhanced monitoring, dry contacts can be fitted for generator running or fail-to-start signals. These bolt-free contacts can be connected to a remote panel, allowing operators to monitor the generator and other equipment through visual signals or alarms. Additionally, dry contacts on the breaker signal its position, ensuring the generator is ready to run when required.
- Deep Sea 890 Gateway: The Deep Sea 890 gateway allows for remote monitoring of the generator via Ethernet or 3G cellular. This means you can monitor all parameters from the control panel on your phone or computer, providing flexibility and peace of mind whether you're on-site or in a remote location.
FG Wilson diesel generators can be customized with a range of options to meet the specific needs of different applications. Using the P850-1 model as an example, we have showcased how these enhancements can improve performance, reliability, and ease of use.
