New care home generators to guarantee energy supply

/in , /by

There is an undeniable demographic transition towards an ageing population and the well-being of senior citizens in care centres is a sensitive issue in our societies.

The role of care home generators

One of the key elements to provide such care is to ensure the safety and continuity of power supply during outages and emergencies, ensuring the health and safety of residents.

Power outages in these facilities can pose a real threat as they house elderly people who often have special medical needs such as infusion pumps or vital sign monitors. Also, communication lines can be disrupted, jeopardising alarm and security systems or mobile telephony.

A trustworthy care home generator set will also maintain emergency lighting systems which prevent accident and facilitate evacuation in case of need. This backup energy is also essential to power heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems. There are times when the weather is more unstable and the temperature in the premises must be kept within comfort levels.

High quality solutions

Genesal Energy specialises in offering highly innovative energy solutions. A manufacture that guarantees the supply in such sensitive environments as geriatric care homes.

Gas generator in natural environment

We bring our energy to the Montseny Natural Park, World Biosphere Reserve

/in , /by

The southernmost fir forest in Europe is located in the Montseny Natural Park (Barcelona), declared a World Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO in 1978.

A privileged environment that extends over more than 30,000 hectares. There, in the heart of nature, you can find holiday camps & farmhouses where vulnerable families’ children can enjoy unforgettable summers in a film-like area.

The challenge: installing a generating set in a protected place

Genesal Energy has provided emergency power to guarantee the electricity supply in one of these holiday homes located in Sant Pere de Vilamajor. In such a special and protected place, from an environmental point of view, the care taken when developing the project was of the utmost importance.

Gas generator in natural environment

Genesal Energy’s engineering department paid utmost attention to the location of the generator set, which had to operate in a natural park protected by UNESCO. So, from the very beginning one of the objectives was to reduce the acoustic and visual impact of the generator set so as not to spoil the beauty of the site.

The project included the installation of a gas generator, which is more environmentally friendly in terms of CO2 emissions than a diesel generator. The generator set was manufactured in a soundproof cabin to lower the noise levels of the machine as much as possible.

Technical Data

These are its main features:

  • LPG gas engine.
  • Alternator with auxiliary winding.
  • No fuel tank on the base frame, which functions as a tray for liquid collection.

We supplied a generator set to a senior centre in Madrid.

/in , , , /by

We have recently supplied a generator set to guarantee the electricity supply in the event of a mains failure in a senior centre located in Madrid.

In this case, it is a soundproofed unit of 550 kVA designed to face any unexpected event of accident.

This senior centre has 220 places available, 40 of which are destined to day care centres, as well as several rest and common areas. Needless to say that a power outage in this kind of centres may cause serious harm to residents since many are dependent persons who need continuing medical care, so it is fundamental to guarantee the electricity supply.

Medical care in these centres is a priority, and that what our customer emphasized. Thus, Genesal we looked for the most suitable solution considering the characteristics of the building and, especially, the residents’ needs.

110% load testing

Our engineering department’s solution focused on making the standard generator set fit like a glove to the place where it will be working inside the building. This genset included an upper air outlet, amongst other features.

Besides, all necessary tests were carried out, including a final test on our load bank up to 110% power aiming to verify that the equipment would work without any problem when needed.

This test is part of the exhaustive controls that Genesal Energy carries out not only customized, but also standard units, to meet the strict quality standards required by the company.

Genesal Energy guarantees power supply to hundreds of homes in three luxury housing estates in the Philippines

/in , /by

Power supply in residential complexes must be guaranteed 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. The wellbeing of their homes depend on it. That’s why a maximum level of protection against possible main failures is an absolute must.

Emergency generator sets comply with this function, they’re designed for it, to ensure that the whole electrical network functions perfectly, and that everything from the elevators down to the last maintenance service of a home remain operative, even in the event of an accident or setback.

At Genesal Energy we know the needs these properties have, a lot of them being great building complexes in which the residential areas coexist with recreational areas, shops and offices and where there is a great influx of people at all times, which is why it’s vital to have emergency power of maximum precision.

Sustainable buildings and local employment

One of our projects in Pacific Asia has allowed us to participate in three very interesting projects where the exclusivity of the facilities and sustainability are combined. They are three housing complexes in the Philippines in exclusive residential areas which are close to great urban areas such as the cities of Davao or Makati.

Our company designed an emergency network to guarantee supply in the event of a mains failure which would affect the apartments, shops and offices of Patio Suites, Viento Tower and Callisto, housing estates distributed across seven towers where hundreds of families reside and whose construction entailed a boost in local employment and development. Hiring locally and the use of sustainable materials were prioritized.

Each of the generator sets manufactured at Genesal Energy features a special solution as not all buildings are the same. In any case, the six gensets feature one common denominator: they are open units, all manufactured with the highest quality and with a design adapted to the conditions of each installation.  Likewise, they’re very reliable and silent, as the low emission of decibels is an important feature to consider for residential areas and places of business.

Features

  • Automatic breaker, independent from the alternator and supported on the base frame, thus avoiding the impact of vibration and other movement.
  • Cable outlet through the top, to connect to the client’s busbar, with protective bellows.
  • Engine cooling liquid recirculation and heating system to provide the correct temperature for genset startup.

1,000-1,100 kVA generator set prepared to operate in low sound conditions

/in , /by

At Genesal Energy we customize projects to make them special. Guaranteeing power supply 24/7, 365 to a residential area has been one of our latest projects in Great Britain, one of our markets in expansion.

We designed a 1,000/1,100 kVA soundproof unit to guarantee power supply in the area at all times. The client requested that, in the event of a mains failure, all emergency elements in the community, such as the lighting or ventilation systems, or the automated garages, all operate without fail. At Genesal Energy we continue working to give you the best energy!
