Iquitos runs on an isolated power grid and outages are part of daily life. For hospitals, hotels, lodges, banks, fuel stations, telecom sites and remote camps, the diesel generator is what keeps operations running — and an unmaintained genset usually fails on the day it is needed most. jCANELO provides generator maintenance in Iquitos and across the Loreto region with a trained crew, quality parts and a written record of every visit.
Preventive maintenance by running hours
- Diesel engine: oil change and oil, fuel, air and water-separator filters at 250, 500 and 1000-hour intervals; injectors, injection pump, intake, turbocharger and exhaust inspection.
- Cooling system: radiator, coolant, thermostat, water pump, belts and hoses.
- Starting system: batteries, battery charger, starter motor and jacket water heater.
- Fuel: water and sediment draining, leak checks, tank cleaning and diesel quality advice.
- Alternator: cleaning, connections, winding insulation testing, AVR and bearings.
- Controls and protections: controller (DSE, ComAp and others), parameters and shutdowns for low oil pressure, high temperature, overspeed and overload.
Testing
No-load and on-load runs, load bank testing to confirm rated output, measurement of voltage, frequency, current and power factor, and automatic transfer testing by simulating a grid outage.
Repairs, overhaul and emergencies
Troubleshooting of starting failures, low power, smoke, overheating, leaks, voltage or frequency instability and controller alarms. Engine and alternator repair, overhaul and component replacement. 24/7 emergency response when the genset won't start during an outage.
Generator and ATS installation
Load-based sizing (kVA/kW), installation of new gensets, base and anchoring, exhaust, ventilation and fuel tank, power cabling, grounding and automatic transfer switch (ATS) panels. Integration with electrical panels, UPS and solar systems.
Brands
Gensets from 10 kVA to over 500 kVA, open or canopy type, with Cummins, Perkins, Caterpillar, Volvo Penta and Modasa engines and other brands, and Stamford, Leroy Somer and Mecc Alte alternators.
