Emergency support
July 1st 2008

Power Electrics, working through Bridgend-based SWALEC Contracting, has provided a standby diesel generator for Bronglais General Hospital in Wales.

The compact, integrated unit includes a 1500kVA prime-rated diesel generator in a soundreduced container and is rated at 75dBA@1m. Its 68 000L doubleskinned underground fuel tank is connected to the day tank and generator set via double skin fuel pipes, with fuel pumped to the set using a fully automated duty/ standby pumping system.

The 125 micro dry film thickness of the paint system complies with BS 3900 F2 for 1000h and will withstand a continuous salt spray for 700h without any sign of corrosion. Emissions of CO and HC were minimised by the development of a combination exhaust system using the latest catalysation and soot entrapment technologies.
