Two generators to supply electricity to the main aerial infrastructure in Gran Canaria

Genesal Energy has designed two open airport generator sets adapted to the existing room in Enaire’s Pico de la Gorra radioelectric complex in Gran Canaria. In the event of a mains failure, these sets shield the correct functioning of the system.

Each unit is fitted with inlet and outlet silencers to minimise noise and redundant leak-detection in order to ensure maximum respect for the surrounding area.

Cutting-edge engineering applied by our experienced personnel who have implemented a design that guarantees the energy autonomy of the radio control centre. A 1,000 litres main tank from which fuel is transferred to the 350 litres base-frame inserted one.

Two open type generators were developed, each with a 350 litres base frame inserted fuel tank. In addition, they have an automatic fuel transfer system from a main tank. Air inlet and outlet silencers were fitted to the existing generator room, keep the noise level in a minimum.

• Calculations of necessary cross-sections for air inlet and outlet in the room.
• Made-to-measure hopper and bellows.Oversized exhaust silencer.
• Inlet and outlet silencers for -30 dB(A).
• ComAp InteliLite control panel.
• 350 L base frame inserted fuel tank.
• Tank with inspection cover and fuel sight glass.
• 1,000 L double-walled main tank.
• Fuel transfer system with electric and manual pump from/to main tank.
• Remote control panel to replicate the unit’s central control panel.
