5. CONTROL AND MAINTENANCE

The group performance must be in a noiseless and vibration-free manner.
The ammeters on the electric panel shall be verified for any abnormally high consumption and if this
proves to be the case, any eventual reasons shall be found out. The maximum number of starts per hour
is six.
If the group stops and the its protection blows out when an attempt to put it back to
service is made, you shall not insist at all but just find out the reasons and overcome
them in the best possible manner as it is not good to force the group into operating in
such conditions.
The SVAT-SVHT groups call for practically no maintenance. They leave our plant ready for immediate
utilization without any previous manipulation. Nevertheless, inspections shall be carried out regularly to
warranty a perfect work.
Another important point to keep in mind here is the status of the relevant O'rings since as they are static
sealing elements, a perfect condition must be exhibited by them. If this is not the case, they shall be
replaced accordingly.
If an oil reduction is observed, the mechanical seals shall be checked. After that, the oil shall be topped up.
It must exhibit a viscosity of between 3 and 6º Engler at 50º C, equalling to a SAE 10 – 20.
