> Load was switched from the Con Ed generator to the critical generator
> as planned.  Unfortunately, after about 45 minutes the generator
> again began to overheat and the load was switched back.  This was
> achieved without interruption to service.  It is now believed this
> could be due to limescale build-up in the radiator.
> 
> This is to be rectified by using an acid wash through the cooling
> system and again running the generator under load at 22:30 UTC
> tonight (Tuesday).
> 
> A plan is also being developed to bring in a new generator should
> the situation with the critical generator persist.

> Telehouse NY believe the problems with their "critical" generator
> have been caused by faulty thermostats.  These have now been replaced
> and the generator has been spun up for a basic test.  The next
> step is to try a load test, which will begin at 22:30 UTC.  If
> this is successful, then load from the "essential" generator, which
> supplies the air conditioning will be transferred to the Con Ed
> generator for maintainence to take place on this generator, which
> has also been running overtemperature.
> 
> Assuming all this works successfully, Telehouse plan to run the
> Con Ed generator in conjunction with either the essential (Air
> Con) or critical (equipment) generator to make the best use of
> available fuel.  Further fuel supply problems are not thought to
> be likely as there are 17 tankers in the city, and a further 30
> generators are available.
> 
> The IP NOC will monitor the initial switch to the critical generator
> to ensure equipment remains in operation, and reinstall the workaround
> with KPN should it be needed.
> 
> cziarhe       20010916 14:59 UTC
> The latest update from Telehouse reports that an extra 2000 gallon
> fuel tank is expected to be connected to the Con Ed generator soon
> to allow for longer refuelling intervals.  in addition, Con Ed's
> refuelling process to all buildings in the area has now settled
> down, so it should be as reliable as possible in the circumstances.

> An engineer is currently onsite investigating the problems with
> Telehouse's own generator.

> Regular fuel deliveries appear to have been secured for the Con
> Ed generator.  There were deliveries at 02:00 UTC and 11:30 UTC,
> and another is scheduled for 21:30 UTC.

> cziarhe       20010915 18:25 UTC
> Despite what we were informed of earlier, the Con Ed generator ran
> out of fuel at 16:45 UTC.  Telehouse's generator then started up,
> but overheated again.  There is a fuel truck just outside the cordoned
> area, but it is not being allowed through, and unfortunately we
> have no ETA for the fuel, or time-to-repair for the Telehouse generator.

> The current status relayed to us by Telehouse is as follows:
> 
> The Con Ed generator is monitored around the clock by Con Ed personnel,
> who are responsible for refuelling it.  As of 15:00 UTC there was
> approximately 15 hours worth of fuel remaining.
> 
> The water pump on Telehouse's own generator has been replaced and
> the unit has been run for about 30 minutes to test.  Telehouse
> are taking this opportunity to perform some routine maintenance
> (changing oil and filters, pressure washing the radiator) to ensure
> it is ready should it be needed for another extended run.
> 
> Fuel currently available onsite should last until Thursday at current
> consumption rates.  Another delivery is being planned for Monday.
> 
> Engineer access is possible, but the procedure is slightly different

> Power was returned via the Con Edison generator at approximately
> 02:45 UTC this morning (Saturday).  All DANTE World Service equipment
> is functioning without any failed power supplies.  Telehouse also
> expect their own generator to be fixed soon, so there will be two

> cziarhe       20010914 18:06 UTC
> Con Edison have delivered the transformer and connected it to be

> Unfortunately the water pump for Telehouse's own generator has

> cziarhe       20010913 21:45 UTC
> As of 21:40 UTC, Telehouse have been required to shut down the generator

> cziarhe       20010912 21:35 UTC
> Commercial power to 25 Broadway was interrupted when debris from
> WTC 7 (The Salomon building) fell on the substation.  It is not
> expected to be restored before the weekend, so delivery of the

> Telehouse have secured an additional 4500 gallons of diesel fuel

> 
> cziarhe       20010912 13:31 UTC
> Telehouse have informed us that if commercial power is not restored,
> it is unlikely that they will be able to replenish the fuel supply

> In addition, the area in which 25 Broadway is located has been

> cziarhe       20010912 12:13 UTC
> As of 20:35 UTC on September 11th, 25 Broadway is running on the
> emergency diesel generator.  Initial information was that they
> had 24 hours worth of fuel, but drain is currently much lower and
> we have been informed that they could last up to 70 hours, which
