load banks
You probably don’t think of load bank testing when it’s time to
commission new equipment or upgrades. And that’s not surprising,
since load banks of the size and complexity you require didn’t
even exist 10 years ago. But they do now and ComRent has them
available for rent.
You may not know ComRent, but we know all about the risks of
equipment commissioning in the oil and gas industry. What’s more,
we have innovative ideas on how to use rented load banks to
overcome them. For example, load banks will eliminate the risk of
using plant loads to test newly installed turbines or generators – and
mitigating the risk of downtime of your critical power plant systems.
That’s just one example of our value.
Put ComRent’s expertise to work
Many clients in the oil and gas industry are already using ComRent’s
load bank testing solutions to streamline equipment commissioning
in ways never before possible. Here are a few examples of how
ComRent has proven the value of load bank testing in your industry:
• Testing real-world extreme scenarios – What’s the worst thing
that could happen to your diesel or gas turbine generators? Our
proprietary load bank testing solutions enable you to hit an entire
load in a black start test – a true simulation of the most extreme,
real-world conditions your equipment could ever face – without
risk to your power plant’s critical systems.
• Commissioning gas turbines – You purchase several gas
turbines, but it’s rare that the manufacturer offers commissioning
services. And that’s a responsibility you don’t want. ComRent
can help by providing the load needed for commissioning the
gas turbine’s generator as an integrated system, which gives you
the opportunity to verify nameplate operational specifications
for optimal performance.
• Keep oversize generators at optimal performance – Keeping
generators at optimal performance is critically important to
drilling platform operations and safety. When an oil industry
client needed additional load to keep an oversize generator at
the right temperature, ComRent was the only company with a
load bank capable of sustaining the optimal amount of load.

About ComRent
With nearly 20 strategically located
centers and North America’s largest
inventory – over 2,500 pieces of equip-
ment and 90 miles of cable – ComRent
can meet a wide variety of load re-
quirements, regardless of your indus-
try and testing objectives. And with
over 30,000 load tests performed and
a 99.99% on
site performance record, there’s no
better or more experienced company
in the business. ComRent is your
single source for electric and thermal
load testing.
• Controlling generator temperatures for unique applications –
A ComRent offshore drilling client uses the exhaust from the
generators to heat a water process, but the generator’s load
alone could not keep the temperature of the exhaust hot enough.
ComRent installed a load bank on top of the generator’s exhaust
to achieve the desired exhaust temperature.
Those are just a few examples of how ComRent is changing the
way the oil and gas industry thinks about load bank testing.
