Genesal Energy equipment to guarantee vital energy at the Montecelo hospital in Northern Spain

Our engineering team has completed a significant project: the installation of three generator sets in the new Gran Montecelo Hospital, located in Northwest of Spain.

This project not only reflects our technical capability, but also our commitment to safety and reliability in environments where people’s lives are at stake.

Three high-power units were installed: two 1900 kVA units and one 1415 kVA unit. The main objective of this installation is to provide a backup power source to ensure the continuous operation of medical services, even in emergency situations.

Hospital facilities are critical environments where power loss cannot be allowed. In emergency situations, every second counts and the lives of many patients depend on the availability of power. It is therefore vital to maximise the reliability of electrical systems. Hospital gensets ensure that essential operation – medical care, life support equipment and lighting – is maintained without interruption.

Tailor-made solution

Our client required a solution adapted to the particularities of the installation and Genesal Energy’s engineering team developed implementation plans and customised solutions addressing crucial aspects such as air inlets & outlets soundproofing or the integration of the equipment in the corresponding rooms.

Three completely bespoke generator sets have been carefully designed to ensure that they can power the essential loads that depend on them. Also, tank capacity, which in this case is 1000 litres. This capacity has been defined in accordance with engine consumption and required operating time, ensuring an adequate supply of fuel during critical situations.

The custom-designed engine bed is also adapted to the dimensions of the resulting monoblock, radiator and power unit. In addition, the maximum suitable dimensions have been considered to facilitate transport and installation on site.

Among the features of the installed system are the following:

• Special made-to-measure base frame: Designed to support the monoblock and associated components.
• Double-walled tank: Made of steel-polyethylene, with a capacity of 1000 L.
• Independent power panel: Vibration-isolated for the unit’s main switch, with a connection point for the connection of the power cables.
• Air inlet and outlet silencers: Designed to reduce engine noise outside the room, with an attenuation level of -30 dB(A).

These silencers are designed to ensure that the generator both can breathe properly and meet the noise attenuation requirements, all while adapting to the available space in the building.

The installation of generator sets in hospitals such as Gran Montecelo is a clear example of how Genesal Energy is committed to providing safe solutions. Our engineering team not only designs and executes, but also ensures that people’s lives are at the forefront.
