Diesel Generators From YorPower
Part Of The Complete Back-Up Power Specialist’s Services
The industrial diesel generator set is a staple for all kinds of organisations requiring a continuous source of power. This includes places without connection to a power grid, or as an emergency power supply if the grid fails, as well as for more complex applications such as peak-lopping, grid support, and export to the power grid. Size is crucial to minimize low load or power shortages.
The YorPower Group provides complete back-up power solutions to customers nationwide. YorPower Projects is the part of the group focused exclusively on diesel generators both in the UK and around the world. At its base in West Yorkshire, its specialists manufacture and supply diesel generator systems from 10kVA- 4000kVA for industrial and domestic applications.
A major requirement for developing countries where power is needed in remote locations, is reliable, dependable ‘on tap’ electricity. This can be fulfilled by the installation of a fully self- contained 1 megawatt (1250kVA) Powerbox. The YorPower Powerbox is fully capable of synching in parallel with up to 15 other generators creating a substantial ‘power hub’.
In conjunction with local partners in Africa and The Middle East, YorPower has supplied several mini power stations, in Nigeria, Ghana and Iraq. Voltage can be stepped up by suitably rated transformers or MV alternators can be fitted to provide 11kV.
CASE STUDY
Generator Canopy Replacement At A Welsh Airfield 30th June 2023
Earlier this year,YorPower was approached by an airfield in Wales to try and resolve an issue which was unique and required an expert approach to meet health & safety and fire rating guidelines.
The Issue The airfield had a 250kVA emergency generator that had been fitted in a drop over mild steel canopy. Whilst this is usually a common canopy material, for this final location it wasn’t sustainable long term due to the airfield being close to the sea. This meant the canopy suffered from severe rust caused by salt in the sea air.
The Solution Rather than simply replacing the canopy, which would almost certainly corrode again, YorPower was tasked with providing a permanent solution. The group’s Service Manager, Ian Townson, worked with the team and identified two choices two choices of material that do not rust: stainless steel or GRP (glass reinforced plastic) kiosks.
After liaising with the airfield about the options, it was decided that the GRP would offer the most cost-effective solution. However, with this material being more susceptible to a fire, the team attended the site and measured the existing canopy, including the exhaust outlet, radiator outlet, air inlet and door access.
The kiosk was then manufactured by one of YorPower’s GRP specialists and sent to site, where they removed the corroded mild steel canopy and replaced with the pre-manufactured GRP kiosk, which was made to BS476 Pt22 and gives a 1/2-hour fire rating. There is also mineral wrap around the exhaust, combined with stucco finishing as well as a steel plate fitted to the canopy, where the exhaust exits.
YorPower’s team was delighted to provide a long-term solution for their client, in a project that was unique, challenging and rewarding.
