Testing that Reaches the World

Remove the risk of uncertainty from Diesel Generator Failure by contacting Clark Laboratories to subscribe for a standardized Generator Monitoring Schedule (GMS).  As a part of our GMS program, Clark offers a comprehensive package of diesel generator monitoring services to eliminate the potential risk of generator failures during unplanned outages.  With our package of engine oil, coolant and diesel fuel testing, Clark’s GMS program will provide you with confidence that your generator will be operable when needed.

The most common causes of failures for diesel generators include:

• • Fuel quality issues (contamination, deterioration or low levels)
  • Overheating or thermal imbalance
  • Mechanical issues (worn components or faulty valves)
  • Control system malfunctions
  • Electrical problems with batteries, breakers or windings

System breakdowns can significantly impact generator reliability during an emergency.  Clark Laboratories’ comprehensive GMS package monitors diesel generators to ensure that your generator is available to meet your power demands.

Clark’s GMS monitoring services include the following key comprehensive test packages:

• • Engine Oil Analysis and Condition Monitoring
  • Diesel Fuel Testing Services
  • Engine Coolant Testing Services

Engine Oil Analysis and Condition Monitoring

Our tribology testing analyzes the condition of engine and lubricating oils to detect wear, contamination, and oil degradation. Key benefits include:

• • Identifying early signs of component wear
  • Monitoring oil quality and performance
  • Preventing catastrophic failures by addressing potential issues before they escalate

Diesel Fuel Testing Services

Contaminated or degraded fuel can significantly impact generator performance. Our diesel fuel testing services ensure your fuel is clean, stable, and ready to power your equipment when you need it most.

Testing includes:

• • Detecting water, sediment, and microbial growth
  • Assessing fuel stability and combustion efficiency
  • Recommending filtration or treatment to optimize fuel quality

Engine Coolant Testing Services

Coolant plays a critical role in regulating engine temperature and protecting internal components. Our coolant testing services include:

• • Checking inhibitor levels and pH balance
  • Identifying contaminants like oil, combustion gases, or debris
  • Ensuring the coolant system is free of scale, corrosion, or blockages

Proper maintenance and testing are essential for maintaining the performance and reliability of diesel generators, especially in critical applications. By integrating our services into your maintenance program, you benefit from:

• • Enhanced Equipment Reliability: Detect and address issues before they lead to failures.
  • Optimized Performance: Ensure all systems operate at peak efficiency.
  • Reduced Downtime: Prevent unexpected breakdowns and costly repairs.
  • Extended Equipment Lifespan: Prolong the life of your generators through proactive maintenance.
