Power Generator for Extreme Climates

Genesal Energy, delivering energy in the most extreme climates

/in , /by

Securing energy supply in climates with extreme conditions, be it cold, heat or humidity, is a challenge that Genesal Energy is familiar with. In this case, the challenge of the project was to provide a solution in the extremely cold environment of Finland.

Faced with the need for reliable equipment to ensure the uninterrupted operation of the installation in the event of a mains power failure, we designed a generator set fully integrated into a 20 feet HC container, adapted to the demands of the environment and prepared to guarantee the continuity of the power supply. In addition, it had to be able to operate in low temperature conditions, be compact for easy transport and have the greatest possible autonomy. A technical challenge that we solved with a customised design.

Another key aspect of the design was the optimisation of space to increase the autonomy of the equipment.

To guarantee the correct operation of the unit in these climatic conditions, we incorporated a system of motorised grilles between the unit and the air outlet. These louvres allow air inlets and outlets to be closed, while the opening of an intermediate louvre creates a flow of hot air inside the container until the right temperature is reached. It is equipped with a heating recirculation pump to guarantee start-up in extreme conditions. At the same time, customised soundproofing ensures that the noise level is extremely low.

Another key aspect of the design was the optimisation of space to increase the autonomy of the equipment, so we designed a customised fuel tank with a capacity of 2,000 litres, with a double steel wall and strategically located at the entrance of the container. Its rectangular format allowed us to make better use of space without compromising accessibility.

Our Engineering Solution

Our team designed a solution totally adapted to the customer’s needs and focused on solving two problems: on the one hand, withstanding low temperatures, and on the other hand, increasing the autonomy of the unit as much as possible.

Features

  • Large capacity tank. 2.000 litres double walled (Steel-steel).
  • Recirculating heating pump.
  • Integrated silencer in container, GSI 490 (-30 dB).
  • 630 A, 3-pole, LSI circuit breaker.
  • Battery protection box with ventilation.

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

/in , , /by

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.

Another achievement by one of our distributors in Northern Europe.

We have supplied 2 x 300 kVA gensets prepared to operate in parallel to mains, guaranteeing power supply in one of the most important logistics centres in the country.

Features

  • Genset prepared to operate in low temperatures, including anti-condensation heaters in the alternator, heaters in the inside of the canopy and oversized batteries to ensure start-up in extremely cold climates.
  • 620L fuel tank integrated in the baseframe with leakage-collection bund with capacity for 110% the fuel tank’s capacity.

Generator set for one of the world’s leading companies in paper and packaging solutions in Austria

Features

  • Control cabinet including: 3 x Comap Intelivision 5, 1 x IG-NTC-BB to control the genset, 2 x IM-NTC-BB to control the external ATS’s, and 1 x IGS-PTM module to provide 10 free contacts; as well as separate chargers for start and control, MainsPro protection relay, and a 5 RJ45 port Ethernet switch.
  • Battery disconnect switch.
  • Double-walled 2500L fuel tank located in a separate comapartment in the container, separated by the genset with an F90 fire-resistant wall.
  • Fire-resistant doors with anti-panic fittings.
  • Leakage collection tray under the genset for the engine liquids.
