Infallible power for extreme security at a hospital in Germany

/in , /by

Hospitals are critical infrastructures because of their great importance to society.

They require special security measures in areas such as the power supply, key in the operation of these buildings. Electricity can never fail.

Genesal Energy specialises in offering the healthcare sector highly innovative energy solutions with all the warranties in terms of design, manufacture and maintenance. Machines capable of starting up in record time – in the event of a failure in the network – securing the operation of ORs, ICUs and other equipment.

The high quality and innovation of our own-manufactured generator sets has led us to design projects for hospitals all over the world and one of the latest orders has been for the Lukas Neuss one in Germany.

With 13 specialities and a staff of almost 1,000 professionals, this leading hospital is located in Neuss, a city of more than 150,000 inhabitants in the Westphalia region. Genesal Energy has reinforced the safety of the facilities designing, manufacturing and commissioning an emergency power unit. Among many other features, it complies with local emissions’ standards for combustion engines and water protection and is suitable for operation at low temperatures.

What makes it so special? Stage V generators

The generator set designed for the Neuss hospital has a latest-generation Stage V engine with particles filter, catalytic converter and urea system to comply with the demanding German emissions regulations. The machine must also be fitted with trays to collect any type of polluting liquid such as fuel, oil, coolants, etc.

In addition, it is equipped with leak detection systems to prevent spillage and motorised louvers and interior heating to ensure start-up in adverse weather conditions.

Technical Data

  • Power panel integrated in the container.
  • WHG compliant.
  • Leak detector in the container rooms and in the double-walled tank.
  • Motorised air inlet and outlet louvres.
  • Interior space heaters.

Generator set for a hangar at Barajas airport with a surface area equivalent to three football pitches.

Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas airport leads the ranking of air traffic in Spain. It closed the 2023 financial year with a passenger volume of more than 60 million and more than 380,000 operations carried out.

The figures reflect the importance of this airfield which, due to its colossal dimensions, needs to have many hangars where aircraft can “rest”. Premises equipped to carry out repairs and maintenance operations inside.

They are normally designed to house more than one aircraft and emergency power is key to their operation. With a surface area of more than 22,400 square metres, the equivalent of almost three football pitches, one of these airport hangars needed a special generator. Genesal Energy has just supplied contingency power to prevent a significant loss of time and money with a special genset for airports.

Tailor-made: generator set for a hangar

“The client required the customised manufacture of hoppers and bellows for the generator’s cooling air outlet, as well as a gas duct with 90° bends to adapt to the layout of the hangar’s generator room“, explain the engineering staff which developed this project. 

Our engineering team’s solution consisted of a highly customised generator set, which was manufactured according to the customer’s requests, seeking the best options for a special site with such particular dimensions.

Technical Data

  • Power panel integrated in the alternator, allowing the intake of two cables per phase.
  • Calculation of the necessary cross-sections for the inlet and outlet of gases in the room, tailor-made hopper and bellows.
  • Oversized exhaust silencer model.
  • Multicolour control panel.
  • Heating system.
  • Integrated 350 L tank.
