Extra Soundproof Genset

/in , , /by

In the engineering side we had to consider various needs.

On the one hand, and due to the unusual location of the genset inside a building in the middle of Madrid, it was necessary to ensure a genset design solution which met with the local regulations pertaining to legally permitted acoustic levels. Genesal’s engineering department proposed the manufacture of a specially built genset to comply with Madrid’s legally permitted acoustic levels. This involved several key design aspects such as extra thick walls on the genset enclosure, silencers integrated in to the air intake and exhaust systems, as well as sound proofing the base frame. This led to the development of a one piece completely enclosed mono block. Additionally Genesal went a step further and researching the need for added silent block anti-vibration parts to the standard number used in manufacture, to eliminate residual vibrations that may increase the noise output.

This was not the only consideration. Genesal’s engineers correctly assumed that the complexity of the location required a unique fuel transfer and control system for the loads to be handled by the genset. This required a fuel tank to be situated in the basement of the building, and a controlled transfer method to be installed. A special alternator was added to guarantee very high stability at different frequencies regardless of the genset load levels, with an added electronic engine speed control unit (ECU) to ensure continuous stability.

Features

  • Extra Soundproofed Genset
  • Power: 80 kVA COP, 100 kVA PRP & 110 kVA STANDBY
  • Project: Data Processing Centre, Abanca.
  • Location: Paseo de Recoletos – Madrid

Specifications

  • Diésel genset with 65dB(A) sound measurement at 1M distance.
  • Integrated silencers on the air intake and the exhaust.
  • Double thickness sound absorbing rock wool as standard issue for the entire enclosure including the base.
  • Electronic Engine Control Unit installed, which guarantees a more stable performance.
  • Alternator provides voltage stability of ±0,5%.
  • Card for Modbus set up.
  • Sub base fuel tank for a 20 hour plus autonomy at COP rating.
  • Integrated fuel level sensors for automatic fuel transfer management.
  • Extra addition of silent blocks to add to those mounted between the bench frame and the engine-alternator mono block, in order to eliminate any residual vibrations once installed in the building interior.

Emergency power solution for the Álvaro Cunqueiro Hospital

/in , /by

Localization

Situated in the city of Vigo, north-west of Spain, the new hospital Álvaro Cunqueiro covers an area  of 280,000 m², has beds for 1,465 patients and will provide healthcare servides to a population of 600,000 people.

Requirements

The customers asked GENESAL ENERGY for a full back-up energy solution in case of a mains failure, to cover a total of 11.2 MW (14,000 kVA) with automatic start system and conection to the SCADA room. The solution needs also to comply with high noise attenuation standars to not affect the normal functioning of the hospital when running.

Solution

Hospital Vigo generador

Genesal Energy designed, manufactured and commissioned eight gensets to provide the hospital with the 11.2 MW needed:

  • Six GEN1875H (1,875 kVA/1,500 kW).
  • Two GEN1375H (1,375 kVA/1,100 kW).

With the following special features:

  • Automatic start upon mains failure with 3-phase monitoring of mains.
  • Full control system and automatic transfer switchboards.
  • Modbus communication between generator and SCADA room.
  • Maximum sound attenuation through -40dB silent exhaust system and sound attenuator.
  • Automatic fuel transfer system between each individual fuel tank and the main fuel tank of the facilities.

Benefits

GENESAL ENERGY provided the customer with an fully automatic and an over-the-top reliable solution, designed under a strict specification sheet, both for safety and comfort.

 

 

 

Power generator for an airport mobile tower – Kenya

/in , /by

Genesal Energy has supplied 2 gensets of 20 kVA prime power to supply electricity to a mobile control tower.

Mounted on a semi-trailer truck with an elevation system of up to 9.5 M above ground level, allowing the controller to have clear visibility. The control tower also comes fully fitted with telecoms systems and can function as a fully operational control tower.

The gensets designed in our manufacturing plan will be used to supply power to this somewhat unusual type of control tower, guaranteeing it has power in the event of a mains grid failure. The gensets have also been prepared and set up to control other aspects of the mobile control tower such as the hydraulic mechanisms of the vehicle that supports the tower.

The principle characteristics of the project design called for redundant diesel generators, both for emergency power; the energy supplied comes from one of the two gensets, with the second genset remaining as back up. Should there be a further power cut associated to the 1st genset, the second genset will then start-up, this also applies if the 1st genset is undergoing maintenance.

Features

  • Redundant sets.
  • Ultra-compact design.
  • Units easily integrated into the client’s existing infrastructure.
  • The soundproof canopy is fully removable to allow mechanical access for maintenance tasks, given the limited space available.

Supply and installation of an adapted genset for the airport of La Coruna in Northwest Spain

/in , /by

The genset, designed and manufactured by Genesal energy for Coruna Airport belongs to the range of adapted products; generator sets which are intricately designed according to the client’s unique needs.

Prior to installation, a team of Genesal experts assessed the location where the genset would be installed in order to gather all the required data and information, this was then passed on to the engineering team to elaborate accurate plans adapted to the product and its eventual location.

In the case of Coruna Airport, our expert technical personnel had to take into account the unusual characteristics and conditions encountered in the area. For example, district cooling was applied by connecting the genset to a dry cooler on the roofing of the machine room.
