The UK’s largest pet care company entrusts its supply to Genesal Energy

Genesal Energy has designed a generator set with very specific needs for one of the logistics centres of the UK’s leading pet care company, Pets at Home.

Emergency generator sets are crucial in a logistics centre. They guarantee the continuity of daily operations protecting the supply chain and customer service.

A tailor-made canopy – adapted to the space of 8100 x 2100 x 2475 mm – was designed: a soundproofed unit that guarantees an average sound pressure level of 85 dB at 1 metre and has exhaust gas silencers with -35 dB attenuation on the roof. The power panel is located on the outside in order to facilitate connection.

Dimensional restrictions solved; another challenge was that the new equipment had to be compatible with the existing one. Also sorted out.

A safe energy source in the event of any supply failure. Customer’s satisfaction best friend.

Although this generator set would be installed in a 40′ HC container in its standard assembly version, our engineering team designed a 8100 x 2100 x 2475 mm canopy with the power panel installed outside in order to facilitate the connection of power cables by the customer.

• 8100 mm modular soundproofed canopy guaranteeing an average sound pressure level of 85 dB at 1 metre.
• The unit was equipped with a liquid collection tray to contain possible coolant, oil or fuel leaks.
• An exhaust gas silencer with -35 dB attenuation was installed on the canopy roof.
• The canopy was fitted with an integrated air silencer module.
• A power output cabinet was designed external to the genset, with the following features:
• 2 x 3-Pole circuit breakers. One for the genset and the other one for an external genset.
• Castle key to prevent the closing of both breakers at the same time.
• Powerlocks connection for an external genset.
• Powerlocks connection for a load bank.
• Busbar.
• This power cabinet allowed an external genset to be connected to supply the loads in the event of the genset not being available.
