Special generator set to operate in the extreme cold on a Norwegian vessel

/in , /by

Low temperature emergency gensets must perform at full capacity in the harshest of conditions. A good example of this is the totally soundproof genset we manufactured for a vessel in Norway.

It was installed inside a 20’DV container and is prepared to operate at full capacity on the high seas. Along with the marine generators that provide electricity to the ship constantly, this GEN440FC is in charge of backing up these generators if ever the main equipment were to ever fail, as well as whenever the boat is in port. Furthermore, the maintenance tasks can be carried out with the Genesal Energy generator installed on the boat’s deck.

Low temperature emergency diesel genset for a Norwegian ship

/in , /by

Generator sets for low temperature conditions have to be very special, and at Genesal Energy we’re experts in designing specific systems to withstand thermometers below zero.

This is exactly the case of the genset we designed to perform at full capacity and to withstand marine conditions in an icy climate such as Norway’s.

It’s a diesel, soundproof genset, which has been installed on a vessel inside a 40’DV container. It’s prepared to operate on the high seas in perfect conditions, all whilst facing the most adverse circumstances. Along with the marine generators that provide electricity to the ship constantly when it’s at sea, the Genesal Energy unit, GEN1000PC, is in charge of backing up these generators if ever the main equipment were to fail and whenever the boat is in port. It’s also possible to carry out the maintenance tasks with the Genesal Energy generator installed on the boat’s deck.

  • External fuel filling point, on the outside of the container (stainless steel)

  • Heaters inside the container with operation via thermostat

  • Motorized and heated air inlet and outlet louvers

  • Motorized and heated air inlet and outlet louvers

  • Hot air recirculation system via temperature sensors which send the command to open/close the louvers so that the genset’s temperature can increase during the first moments of its startup

  • Superficial treatment according to ISO 12944 norm, in a C5M finish.
  • Alternator anti-condensation heater and marine impregnation.

We designed a generator set for one of multinational company DSV Sweden, prepared to operate in the extreme cold

We designed a soundproof 450-500 kVA unit prepared to withstand the cold temperatures.

Low temperatures are a critical factor for many companies that manufacture gensets due to the difficulty of designing competitive products that are prepared to operate in the extreme cold in an optimal manner.

This is not the case for Genesal Energy, which has a specific range of gensets that are capable of starting-up and operating intemperatures of up to -30ºC, which has made our brand a reference brand in Scandinavia, as well as other countries in Northern Europe.

One of our latest projects in this “low temperature” range has been for DSV, the Danish logistics and transport company, the fifth in its sector at a worldwide scale. The multinational company needed emergency power for one of its logistics centres in Sweden, and for this it reached out to Genesal.

To meet with DSV’s needs, we designed a soundproof 450-500 kVA unit (GEN500SI) prepared to withstand the cold temperatures.

The unit was installed in DSV’s logistics centre in Jönköping, a municipality located 350 km to the south-east of Stockholm with icy autumns and winters, where the thermometres show temperatures that easily dip below zero degrees.

The genset includes oversized batteries and has heaters integrated in the canopy, in order to maintain the unit at the correct temperature so that it is in perfect conditions to start-up in the cold in the case of a mains failure and guarantee the electricity supply to the centre.
