The Catalan Water Agency (ACA), a public corporation affiliated with the Government of Catalonia in charge of managing this autonomous community\u2019s water cycle, has trusted in Genesal Energy to supply emergency power to its headquarters in Barcelona, a rennovated building built in the 70s with the capacity for holding 405 members of staff.<\/h2>\n

The generator set designed by our team of engineers was custom-made according to the requirements of the ACA\u2019s management who requested, amongst other specifications, high levels of sound attenuation and specific dimensions<\/strong> as the genset would be operating in a basement without ventilation, a circumstance which called for the design of a generator set with special cooling devices.<\/p>\n

The engine, a challenge<\/h3>\n

To achieve this, two sheet exchangers<\/strong> were installed for the engine liquids, one for the air, one for the water, mounted onto the base frame and connected to the engine and a vertical pump to push the cooling water from the genset\u2019s location to the remote cooler located on the roof.<\/p>\n

Substituting the engine\u2019s original components<\/strong> for bespoke ones, its connection and later testing to ensure the correct operation of the generator set, was the main challenge for our Engineering department. Furthermore, based on the client\u2019s indications, at Genesal Energy we designed air silencers fitting the generator set\u2019s installation room.<\/p>\n
