Cummins Inc. recommends using Fleetguard® Compleat. It is available in both glycol forms (ethylene and propylene). Fully formulated antifreeze must be mixed with good-quality water at a 50/50 ratio (40- to 60-percent working range). A 50/50 mixture of antifreeze and water gives a -36°C [-33°F] freezing point and a 108°C [226°F] boiling point, which is adequate for locations in North America. The actual lowest freezing point of ethylene glycol antifreeze is at 68 percent. Using higher concentrations of antifreeze will raise the freezing point of the solution and increase the possibility of a silica gel problem.

Do not use sealing additives in the cooling system. The use of sealing additives will:

•

•

Buildup in coolant low-flow areas

Plug the radiator and oil cooler Possibly damage the water pump seal.

Do not use soluble oils in the cooling system. The use of soluble oils will:

•

•

•

Corrode brass and copper Damage heat transfer surfaces Damage seals and hoses.

9.ALTERNATOR

For safety purposes it is necessary that any testing or maintenance carried out on electrical machine are performed by qualified and authorized personnel, and all operation must be performed when the machine is stopped, at ambient tem- perature and disconnected from any supply source (including the auxiliary circuits such as the anti-condensation heaters).

Furthermore all measures must be taken to avoid restarting the gen-set during maintenance.

9.1. INSPECTION AND MAINTENACE INTERVALS

Inspection and maintenance should take into account the importance of the plant ambient conditions (dust etc.) and op- erating conditions.

As a general rule, the machine should be subjected to a first inspection after approx. 500 operating hours (in any case not more than 1 year) and subsequent inspections when performing maintenance on prime mover.

When performing inspection check that:

•The generator operates smoothly, without noise or irregular vibrations due to bearing deterioration

•The operating data complies with that detailed on the rating plate

•The air inlet openings are not obstructed

•The supply cables show no signs of deterioration and connections are firmly tight

•The electrical connections are in perfect condition (undamaged)

•Screws and nuts are firmly tightened.

9.2. MAINTENNCE OF BEARINGS

The lifetime of bearings is determined by multiple factors and specifically by:

•The lifetime of the grease. ·

•The environmental conditions and working temperature.

•The external loads and vibrations.

The bearings (D.E. and N.D.E. side are prelubricated sealed type (life lubrication), with sufficient grease quantity for a long operating

time.

The life expected time is, in case of normal operating condition, of about 20000 hours for all bearings.

ACUM210, ACUM110, ACUM65, ACUM185, ACUM140 specifications

Armstrong World Industries has established itself as a leader in the design and manufacture of innovative ceiling and wall solutions. Among their notable acoustic ceiling offerings are the ACUM84, ACUM210, ACUM65, ACUM140, and ACUM185 tiles. Each of these products is engineered with distinct features and technologies aimed at enhancing acoustic performance, durability, and aesthetics in various commercial spaces.

The ACUM84 is designed for spaces that prioritize sound absorption and overall acoustic quality. It utilizes advanced sound-dampening technology, making it suitable for environments such as offices, schools, and healthcare facilities. This tile achieves a high Noise Reduction Coefficient (NRC), effectively minimizing sound reverberation, which is essential for maintaining concentration in busy settings.

Similarly, the ACUM210 offers enhanced acoustic properties but with a focus on durability. This tile is constructed with a robust material that is resistant to impact and moisture, making it an excellent choice for high-traffic areas. The fabric-like texture not only adds aesthetic value but also improves its sound-absorbing capabilities, contributing to a quieter environment.

For those seeking a versatile solution, the ACUM65 is an ideal option. This tile is lightweight yet durable, making installation straightforward. Its ecological design ensures minimal environmental impact while providing superior acoustic performance. The ACUM65 is particularly well-suited for retail spaces, where customer experience can be significantly enhanced by better sound control.

ACUM140 is engineered for flexibility and design versatility. With a range of finishes and colors, it allows architects and designers to incorporate acoustic solutions that harmonize with the overall aesthetic of the space. Its high NRC rating ensures a calm auditory environment, making it an excellent fit for restaurants and auditoriums.

Lastly, the ACUM185 combines aesthetics with functionality, offering a sleek design while maintaining outstanding sound absorption capabilities. It meets the demands of contemporary styling without compromising performance. This tile is particularly favored in corporate environments where aesthetics play a crucial role in branding and employee satisfaction.

In conclusion, Armstrong's ACUM product line, including ACUM84, ACUM210, ACUM65, ACUM140, and ACUM185, showcases technologies and characteristics that cater to a variety of applications. With a strong focus on acoustic management, durability, and design versatility, Armstrong continues to provide innovative solutions tailored to the needs of modern commercial spaces.
