The design of generator sets for the healthcare sector must meet many criteria, but there are two without which achieving optimum performance would be virtually impossible: power and silence.

Genesal Energy Health generator sets complies with both – high power and soundproofing – ensuring normal operation in the event of any power failure or incident.

One of our latest projects has been delivered for the United Kingdom, reinforcing the power supply for Eastbourne Hospital, in the Southeastern County of East Sussex.

Power

The town of Eastbourne has a population of almost 100,000 and its hospital is a speciality centre that covers the demand of not only the city but also the small surrounding towns, making it one of the main health facilities in the county.

The project developed by our engineering department consisted of extending the emergency network designing, manufacturing and commissioning two new powerful and silent hospital generators, guaranteeing an average sound pressure level of 75 decibels at one metre at all times.

As with other special turnkey projects, the generator sets at Eastbourne Hospital have a number of features that set them apart. These are the main ones:

FEATURES:

• Walls fitted with high-thickness acoustic panels and a synthetic foil for special soundproofing, guaranteeing also EI120 fire resistance.
• Outlet Air silencers fitted to the container and Inlet Air silencers integrated into the container.
• Mitsubishi S16R PTA engine fitted with a Mecc Alte ECO46 2S4A alternator on a base frame.
• Certified 1000-litre double-walled (steel-steel) tank inside the container.
• Exhaust gas silencers providing -40 dB attenuation.
• C5 paint surface treatment, according to ISO12944.
• Automatic fuel transfer system.
• Special power outlet busbars for coupling to the busbar trunking system.
• Motorised air inlet and outlet louvers and indoor space heaters.
