9 MAINTENANCE
This section describes how to maintain the model P-5050 TEG. Before attempting to main-
tain the TEG the qualified service person should be thoroughly familiar with its:
•
technical specifications;
•
process description;
• installation;
•
startup and shutdown;
•
power output evaluation, and
• adjustment.
Note: Good record keeping is necessary for long term follow-up. Use the TEG Performance
Log, located at the end of this manual, for recording details each time adjustments
are made or servicing is carried out.
9.1 Recommended Periodic Maintenance
The TEG is a solid-state high-reliability device that requires very little maintenance.
However, it does require periodic service checks in order to provide the years of trouble free
service of which it is capable. The maintenance interval depends on the site conditions (fuel
purity, environment, etc.) and must be established based on site records. Field experience
indicates that a properly installed TEG usually requires maintenance only once a year.
At least once a year evaluate V
set
as per the procedure below. This should be the first pro-
cedure during any service visit and will determine what further service may be needed.
