Medium-level industrial enterprises operating at a power consumption level of up to 100 kW, like others, need an autonomous backup power source. As long as there is a practice of disconnecting the central network in our region, the presence of generating installations will be necessary until then.
Medium Power Generators: Device Options
There are not many options left to support this market segment. Large-capacity gasoline generators are becoming completely unprofitable due to the high consumption of gasoline and the high price per liter of fuel. The durability of these generating sets is significantly less than diesel power plants.
For a backup power source of this level of enterprises, an 80 kW diesel generator is suitable, which has the best characteristics:
- Power 80-88 kW.
- Generated voltage 230 /400V.
- Rotation speed 1500 rpm.
- Fuel consumption at full load 20 liters per hour.
- Fuel tank integrated into the 200 liters unit.
According to its parameters, this diesel power plant is most suitable for power supply of enterprises with a power consumption of up to 100 kW. As additional equipment, the unit can be equipped with a sound-absorbing all-weather casing or a reinforced container with an integrated automatic operation of the device.
Unlike gasoline generators, which have a short service life before overhaul, diesel installations can operate three times longer. The diesel engine does not have spark plugs and does not depend on their quality and purity. But the diesel engine needs other conditions to facilitate long and normal operation. This is regular maintenance of the system, ensuring cleanliness and fresh air, which has a beneficial effect on the operation of the diesel engine.
To ensure the operation of auxiliary systems, such as night video surveillance systems, fire alarm systems, emergency lighting, monitoring of the surrounding area, a lower power installation will be required. Therefore, the AD 20 MMZ generator, integrated into this system, can function as an autonomous power source for security and alarm systems.
When choosing an autonomous power supply installation, one of the most important roles is played by a high degree of safety. Diesel power plants meet all the requirements. Diesel fuel is not explosive and will not spontaneously ignite, which makes it possible to install containers with fuel near the generator. Diesel exhaust does not contain carbon monoxide, which can harm plant personnel. Diesel installations of medium power rightfully occupy a leading position in the market of backup power supplies for enterprises with a power consumption of up to 100 kW.
