Safe, secure and silent power for a data centre in Asturias

At a time of accelerated growth in the data centre sector, guaranteeing a continuous and reliable power supply has become a priority.

Aware of this need, we were selected to design a power solution to reinforce the electrical security of a data centre located in Asturias.

The project required a reliable, silent solution with remote control capabilities. To meet this challenge, we developed a fully customised 220 kVA data center generator set, soundproofed in a 3,800 mm canopy, equipped with a double-capacity fuel tank to extend autonomy, and structurally adapted for outdoor installation – exposed to adverse weather conditions.

One of the main technical challenges was adapting the design of the generator set to its outdoor location, next to the building’s façade. We incorporated an upper air outlet protected by a weather louvre, ensuring optimum performance even in unfavourable weather conditions. In addition, a precise calculation of the necessary cross-sections for gas inlet and outlet was carried out, ensuring efficient ventilation of the system at all times.

This project is an example of how customisation, efficient engineering and energy reliability can come together to respond to the demands of a constantly evolving industry such as data centres, where there is no room for error.

Our Engineering solution

A customised generator set was designed and manufactured in a 3,800 mm soundproofed canopy. To meet the autonomy requirements, a 1,200 litre tank was installed in the base frame, optimised to guarantee the necessary hours according to the estimated fuel consumption and other technical specifications.

Features

• Supply: Monoblock engine-alternator in soundproofed 3800 canopy.
• 1200L double-capacity tank integrated in the baseframe.
• Oversized GSI 230 (-30dB) silencer model.
• ComAp InteliLite AMF 25 IL4 control panel
• 320 A set circuit breaker
• 440mm VSG 440mm gauge for double-capacity tank.
• Tudor TC900 90 Ah battery
• Upper air outlet prepared for outdoor installation.
• Calculation of sections required for gas inlet and outlet in the room.
• Hotstart 1000W preheating system.
