44 GENSETS
A model II-066 generator set has been installed in a water tower in Lower Austria
A water tower facility in Lower Austria recently received an INMESOL Model II-066 genset - it is currently being used as a stand-by generator set to ensure the supply of electricity to the pumps which fill the water tower. Environmental sensitivities mean that this generator set features a high level of soundproofing and an extra muffler which considerably reduces any noise emissions, reports WIP.

ustria is a country rich in water resources which uses water
distribution systems with the most modern technology available. Although some of Austria is mainly mountainous because it includes the eastern Alps, the states of Vienna, Lower Austria, and Burgenland are mostly plains. Here, the lack of natural terrain elevations makes it necessary to build water towers to store large amounts of water at a height suitable for pressurising distribution systems. These gigantic water
reservoirs maintain a constant pressure in the distribution systems, either for domestic consumption - drinking water, for industrial consumption, or to store emergency water for

fire protection - non-drinking water. As they are raised reservoirs,
the towers can supply water even during power outages, as they have potential energy produced by the water elevation that is used to push it through domestic & industrial distribution systems. However, the supply cannot last for long without power, as a pump is usually required to refill the tower. The tower also acts as a reservoir to help provide water

during peak usage times which are typically during daytime hours. The water level in the tower usually drops during these peak hours, and then a pump fills it during the night. For this reason, it is necessary to use a standby generator set to ensure the supply of electricity to the pumps which fill the water tower.

model II-066 was recently installed in a water tower in Lower Austria. Levels of environmental awareness in the region meant that the
generator set chosen for this application had to offer a high level of soundproofing and an extra muffler to considerably reduce noise emissions. It also has a STAGE 3A
engine, ensuring a minimum environmental impact due to gas emissions. The set features a panel with parallel synchroni- sation with the mains – when power is restored following a power failure, this means there is no power outage between the generator set and the mains.
