    Catalogue For Waukesha Driven Compressors

    How do I get a catalogue (electronic) for the parts of a Waukesha driven compressors. I usually have some difficulty when ordering for parts to replace faulty one. Thanks

    Issue with Magneto

    Thanks for the response to this thread, please also see the mail below as response from Altronic. Kene, G-Lead that has 160v seems to be adequate, and depending on how it is measured may be normal. If it is 160V on the G-lead, I am not sure how you think it has 35v on the 12 cylinders as the...

    Issue with Magneto

    Just an update, we cranked the compressor 5 times and got a higher voltage of 80v though not adequate to start the unit. We had to stop cranking so as not to damage components in the engine.

    Issue with Magneto

    The magneto we are using on our 12 cylinder Waukesha engine needs a voltage of 150-190 to enable the start-up. This mangeto was functioning properly until we had to shut down the compressor station for a period of 4 months. Now the voltage we are getting is 35V on the 12 cylinders which is not...

    Manual on Waukesha Gas Engine

    Please can someone provide a manual on Waukesha engine as we are carrying out troubleshooting activity on an engine that failed to start. Thanks for the support VHP 5108/5790/7042 G/GSI/GL Engines

    Low Voltage on Magneto

    The magneto we are using on our 12 cylinder Waukesha engine needs a voltage of 150-190 to enable the start-up. This mangeto was functioning properly until we had to shut down the compressor station for a period of 4 months. Now the voltage we are getting is 35V which is not adequate to cause...

    Nitrogen Preservation on Pig Receiver

    While still waiting for the arrival of the barrel door seal so that we can commence replacement, we notice that the pressure drop stopped at 4.5bar. This will be monitored for another 4 days and if no change occurs we will therefore assume stabilization and thereafter open the vent and preserve...

    Nitrogen Preservation on Pig Receiver

    Just on an update on the Nitrogen preservation activity. We are currently planning to release the Nitrogen and check the barrel door and if possible replace the door seal if it is weak.

    Nitrogen Preservation on Pig Receiver

    The leak test is being carried out using the soaping/bubble method. All the flanged connections were properly taped and leak checked with a soap solution. We also had a situation where a leak on an instrument (corrosion) was detected through a 'hissing sound'. The volume is about 5 m3. zdas04...

    Nitrogen Preservation on Pig Receiver

    Thanks LittleInch for the contribution, we have actually isolated the pig receiver from other inplant piping and as such a valve passing gas may not have any effect. The pipeline and the end facilities are being preserved for a minimum of 3 years since the Central Processing Facility is still...

    Nitrogen Preservation on Pig Receiver

    We are carrying out Nitrogen preservation on a pig receiver at a pressure of 0.5 bar as specified in the procedure. A leak test carried out on this facility at 15 bar could not detect any leak but yet yet we kept on experiencing drop in pressure (15 to 6 bar in a week). I will appreciate advice...

    Standard for Pressure Gauge

    We have completed the Nitrogen preservation of a 10'' 16Km pipeline in a swamp location at a pressure of 0.6bar. I have requested for the installation of 0-2bar pressure gauge for the monitoring of pressure over a period of 3 years before the pipeline will be used. The contractor supplied a...

    Bore Restriction on Pipeline

    We have completed laying a 12'' pipeline in swamp location and pre-commissioning activity is in progress. A caliper pig was launched on the pipeline after the gauge pig was observed to be badly distorted. The caliper pig showed bore restriction in 5 different locations and the contractor...

    Isolation Joint failed Resistance Test

    We are planning to hydrotest a 6'' SS pipeline for a gas service at a pressure of 230 bar but realised that the isolation joint failed a resistance test. This will definitely have to be replaced though it will take a long time to import. Please can some help with a solution as the company will...
