MONITORING TOOL FOR IMPROVING THE PERFORMANCE OF FUEL OIL GENERATOR SETS INSTALLED IN CUBA

Abstract

ABSTRACT: At sites of Hyundai technology gensets installed in Cuba there have been some operational problems that prevent a quick and accurate response to different operators occurring situations. For example, viscosity regulators on the banks of the sites have suffered failures due to vibration and high temperatures, causing disruptions, increased fuel consumption, disruption in energy supply, increased operating costs, increased frequency maintenance, affected the effectiveness of the Group and shortening their life, becoming more sensitive to be linked to the national system. In addition, due to poor quality and poor location of thermometers makers measure the temperature of the gases leaving the cylinder engines there is a growing tendency to irreparable damage to the same, since in some cases the reading is not is possible and the reliability of the measurement is not guaranteed. This paper presents a possible solution to the above problems through monitoring tool that allows to incorporate the implementation of monitoring and control of temperature measurements, the ability to interact with the viscosity, new alarms and corrective actions to the operator must be proposed perform. The actions outlined above are expected to contribute to improving energy availability of this technology groups, and to ensure that the exhaust valves do not burn and therefore the thermal energy is converted into mechanical rotational energy is lost . In addition to providing energy efficiency spending is removed by continuous valve procurement, installation and maintenance. With regard to the viscosity of the site operation is guaranteed full capacity and saves on the purchase of instruments such as viscometer.
