Generator for the UK's largest pet care company

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.

Our Engineering Solution

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.

Features

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.
