A list of parts that may be required for Start-up and Commissioning of a diesel generator

See below for a typical list of commissioning spares for generators 

1. SET OF Filters

  • Air Filters: Ensures clean air intake for combustion.
  • Fuel Filters: Prevents contaminants in the fuel from reaching the engine.
  • Oil Filters: Protects the engine by filtering out impurities from the oil.

2. SPARE Lubricants

  • Engine Oil: Necessary for the initial lubrication of the engine.
  • Coolant: Ensures proper engine temperature during operation.

3. Gaskets and Seals

  • Gasket Sets: For various components like the cylinder head, exhaust, etc.
  • Sealing Rings: Prevents leaks in critical joints.

4. Electrical Components

  • Batteries: Required to start the engine.
  • Battery Charger: Ensures the batteries are charged and ready.
  • Fuses: Spare fuses for control panels and electrical circuits.
  • Relays: Spare relays for critical electrical functions.

5. Mechanical Components

  • Belts: Spare fan belts and alternator belts.
  • Fuel Injectors: Key components that may need replacement.

6. Hoses and Pipes

  • Fuel Hoses: For fuel supply and return.
  • Coolant Hoses: To ensure proper coolant flow.
  • Oil Hoses: For lubrication circuits.

7. Control and Monitoring Components

  • Sensors: Spare temperature, pressure, and other sensors.

8. Exhaust System Components

  • Exhaust Gaskets: To ensure no leaks in the exhaust system.
  • Exhaust Clamps: To secure the exhaust system.
