2,250 KVA DIESEL GENSET FOR A HIGHWAY TUNNEL

VMMotori announced it is developing a hydrogen combustion version of its 2.2 L, threecylinder inline engine. Based on the R753 diesel model, the company has indicated that the H2-ICE version ‘marks a new chapter in the company’s history, which was previously dedicated specifically to the design and production of diesel engines’. The performance of the hydrogen combustion engine will be around 10% higher than that of the R753 diesel, reports the company.

VM Motori believes hydrogen is destined to become one of the main energy carriers of the future, contributing to the global drive for CO2 neutrality. As such, a team of engineers has worked to update the technical specifications of the engine to include state-of-the-art injectors, common rail, pistons, spark plugs, ignition coil and pressure regulator – all necessary for hydrogen fuel – while maximizing component standardization with its diesel predecessor.

The performance of the hydrogen internal combustion engine will be around 10% higher than that of the diesel engine from which it was created, offering a62 kW output and 270 Nm peak torque, VM Motori has said. The engine will meet EURO VI E and STAGE V emissions regulations. hydrogen is destined to become one of the main energy carriers of the future, contributing to the global drive for CO2 neutrality, M Motori believes.

Hydrogen is an increasingly popular energy carrier. It can be readily produced from water using renewable electricity, and it burns without any greenhouse gas emissions. It is colourless, odourless, and does not spill. Four-stroke hydrogen internal combustion engines (Hydrogen ICE) operate on the same cycle as regular natural gas engines and have almost the same components- engine block, crank, cylinder heads, ignition system, installation parts etc.

Hydrogen is a useful, clean and zero-emission fuel which can be used in fuel cells or internal combustion engines. Hydrogen fuel produces only water when burned with oxygen. Hydrogen can be produced relatively easily from various domestic resources, such as natural gas, nuclear power, biomass, and - of course - renewable power.

1,300 KVA GENERATING SET FOR THE PIOMBINO REGASIFIER, ITALY

COELMO recently supplied a BDT12M1500 generating set for the Piombino Regasifier located in Italy. In April 2023 Coelmo completed the design, production and testing of the 1,300 kVA generating set which was also equipped with parallel control panel and a 2,500-litre external fuel tank.

The set is based in in a 40-foot container. This has been treated with an anticorrosive paint suitable for particularly aggressive environments. Powered by an MTU 12V4000G14RF engine, the generator package features a single bearing alternator IP23, insulation class H/H, plus a dry type air filter, fuel filter & oil filter. There is a Permanent Magnet Generator PMG, a standard control panel, four 12V batteries, rack and cable, a ripple flex exhaust pipe, exhaust siphon, flange and muffler.

COELMO generating sets are designed and produced for professional applications covering a range from 3 to 4000 kVA. These robust and reliable gensets can be personalised and have accessories designed to adapt to the various different industry sectors, making them the ideal choice for demanding users.

The Italian government recently approved plans for the rapid construction of a regasification terminal at Piombino to make up for a shortfall of Russian gas imports.

EMSA Generators has supplied its its 2250 kVA diesel generator set Baudouin Engine Generator Set to the Czech Republic Highways Tunnel Project.

The 2,250 kVA diesel generator with Baudouin engine was manufactured in compliance with 2000/14/ EC European noise emission directive and certified from Ente Certificazione Macchine.

EMSA products also have TS ISO 8528-4, TS ISO 8528-5, TS EN 13501-1+A1:2013 flame retardancy and TTS EN ISO 9227 certificates against anti-corrosion together with CE Declaration.

Features of the 16M33G2250/5 model include a BAUDOUIN heavy duty diesel engine; 4-cycle, water cooling system, turbochargedaftercooler induction, ECU governor system,12/24 volt self-starter and charger alternator, Changeable air, fuel and oil filter and a flexible fuel pipe.

The genset was also supplied with an oil discharge valve and extention pipe, an industrial-type silencer, exhaust spiral/compensator, a maintenance-free battery and an e ngine block water heater (supplied with automatic models).

Included with the packge is an EMSA EG450-1600N brushless, single bearing, flexible disc 4-pole alternator for harmonic failure.

This meets H -type isolation class standards, and P 21-23 protection class, with a self exciter. An electronic automatic voltage regulator is provided, plus a Stator 2/3 step for harmonic failure.

The genset comes with a DATAKOM SMART 500-MK2. This is a cost-effective genset controller ready for BMS integration and internet monitoring.

Emergency Power For Netherlands Hospital

Last month KONINKLIJKE VAN TWIST of Dordrecht, NL, supplied a 3,130 KVA diesel genset to a key Netherlands hospital. The generator now provides emergency power in case of a potential grid outage.

A company spokesman commented: “The NSA entered the site in parts. First, load spreaders were placed to reinforce the floor and the old emergency power generator was taken out.

“Then the new NSA, without a generator, was hoisted in. This is was to prevent the team exceeding the maximum floor load. Finally, then the generator was also brought in and placed on the frame behind the engine.”

In 2021 a new era began at VAN TWIST when the company partnered with Kohler to become a distributor in the Netherlands and Belgium.

A new building dedicated to Kohler is opening in Summer 2023. It will house stock generators, spare parts and more than two dozen technicians as part of generator operations.
