Technology and commitment, Genesal Energy’s answer to healthcare challenges.

Genesal Energy knows perfectly well that continuity of power supply is essential, especially in places where every second counts, such as a hospital.

That is why we have developed a tailor-made solution for the UK’s NHS Northwest, installing two 550 kVA open gensets specifically designed to meet the needs of this premises.

From vital medical equipment to security systems and medicines cooling, every component relies on electricity to operate 24/7.

Generator sets not only ensure the continuity of critical operations protecting the most important thing: patients’ lives.

Our engineering team developed a customised system including an engine-alternator monoblocks on steel frames with a capacity of 350 litres of fuel each and liquid collection trays with a capacity of 110% of the tanks.

They are also equipped with a Deep Sea DSE8610 MKII control cabinet, programmed to operate in permanent parallel with the grid ensuring the best efficiency parameters. There is also a Victron battery system to optimise energy management, allowing recharging during off-peak hours and support during peak demand. Both units are equipped with 800 A motorised circuit breakers, advanced protection systems and designs that facilitate transport and installation.

Present at the Healthcare Estates exhibition and conference – IHEEM

The innovation that characterises Genesal Energy took us this year to the Healthcare Estates exhibition and conference – IHEEM held in Manchester Central. We had the opportunity to present one of these two hospital generators together with our partner Ingram Installations Ltd.

This event allowed us to show not only the technology that makes these projects possible, but also our vision for the future in the field of energy generation.

Our engineering solution

Our engineering department developed two 550 kVA open gensets, with the engine-alternator monoblock assembly on a 2800 mm long steel base, with a 350-litre capacity tank and a liquid collection tray designed to hold all the fluids that can be poured (oil, coolant, diesel…) with a capacity of 110% of the fuel tank. The engine radiator protrudes outside the bed, so the tray was designed to be large enough to accommodate this section. The fluid collection tray is supported on two omegas which serve as legs, protecting the tray from any contact against the ground that could damage it and facilitating the transport of the unit. By means of ‘zeta’ angles, they are joined to the main bedplate forming a single unit, with the base frame supports resting on the omegas and supporting the weight of the unit.
