Non-contact Fluid-trac® Level Sensor or Acu-Trac® Level Sensor are ideal replacements for 33 to 240 ohm resistive float senders, voltage output reed-switch tube sensors, and capacitive tube senders in Diesel Generator ( genset) Applications.

A diesel generator also referred to as a genset is commonly used for temporary power needs and for maintaining a temperature controlled environment. Good level management with the correct level sensor used to indicate the level of the diesel fuel is the key to success. 

• Standby Diesel Generator Sets are vital for Backup Emergency Power for hospitals, sewage pumping stations, data processing centers and communication service installations. When power outages due to local outages or natural disasters occur the backup diesel generator power is crucial.  Bad diesel fuel level management on the emergency genset is simply not an option due to the critical nature of this work.

• For mobile refrigeration units, temperature control is provided by the diesel generator on insulated trailers or intermodal containers.   If fuel runs out to the diesel generator set, the perishable loads are at risk of spoilage which may result in the loss of an entire shipment. Also, when the refrigeration units run out of fuel, there is a substantial cost to recharge the units with a third-party service vehicle.  

• Off the power grid locations – construction sites, mining and mineral extraction sites, cell towers, and even temporary locations such as amusement rides and outdoor concerts also require dependable diesel generator operation.  Businesses lose money when the diesel generator runs out of fuel.  Good level management can prevent the loss of sales revenue and employee downtime.
