Question:

Can we run a diesel generator throughout the year without stopping, or should it be stopped for any ntervals?

If it is not run continuosly in what intervals should it be stopped and what is the standstill time?

Answer:

It is not good to run a Diesel generator throughout the year without stopping. It requires regular stopping for maintenance, at least once a week for cleaning or replacement of oil filters and replacement of parts.THE SHUTDOWN MAY LAST 8 OR !6 HOURS DEPENDING ON THE PARTS TO BE REPLACED.
as long as you can monitor oil pressure and water temp and provide emergency shutdowns for both. It can run until specified oil change interval which is probably no more than 500 hours at a time.
