NEW GENSET ENERGISES A COMPANY IN THE MOROCCO PAPER INDUSTRY, NORTH AFRICA

Amodel DP222LBF DOOSAN engine is the key power provider for a HDW-675 T5 three-phase soundproof generator set now at CMCPInternational Paper - one of the largest paper and cardboard production plants in Morocco.

The newly-installed genset with its STAMFORD alternator currently ensures a stable and reliable backup power supply in case of power failure.

CMCP-International Paper is Morocco’s largest integrated supplier of corrugated boxes, serving customers across multiple sectors, including fruit & vegetable, food & beverage, automotive, electronics, ceramics, chemicals, and textiles.

A spokesman for the company comments: “ CMCPInternational Paper is a single point of contact for all your packaging needs. We offer complete, superiorvalue packaging solutions with best-in-class services and logistics. Choose from all types of corrugated packaging, including sustainable punnets in many forms and shapes, or triple-wall for heavy duty applications.

“If you are in the fruit & vegetable sector, you can benefit from our unique network of erecting centres for assembly and storage.”

The CMCP site has bought and installed an HDW-675 T5 three-phase soundproof generator. This has been produced in factory facilities which have received leading certifications such as environmental (FSC™, PEFC, ISO 14001), quality (ISO 9001), occupational health and safety (ISO 45001), and food safety (BRC), among others.

It meets the following regulations: 2006/42/CE Machinery safety; 2014/30/UE Electromagnetic compatibility; 2014/35/UE electrical equipment designed for use within certain voltage limits; 2000/14/ EC Sound Power level. Noise emissions outdoor equipment. (amended by 2005/88/EC); and EN 12100, EN 13857, EN 60204.

At the heart of the genset is a 4-Cycle, V-type, 12cylinder, turbocharged & intercooled (air to air) engine which is both rugged and reliable.

The engine’s dry weight is 1,420 kg (with Fan). Its bore x stroke measures 128 x 142 mm. The engine dimensions (LxWxH) are 1,738 x 1,389 x 1,258 mm and it has a displacement of 21.927 litres.

The compression ratio is 15:1 while the rotation is counter-clockwise viewed from Flywheel. There are 160 teeth on the Flywheel.

Other features include: * Injection timing 21˚±1˚ BTDC @ 1800 rpm, 19˚±1˚ BTDC @ 1500 rpm.

It is a tough model: Maximum Bending Moment at Rear Face to Block is 1,325 N.m..

The DP222LBF DOOSAN engine has a Maximum Back Pressure of 5.9 kPa. The Air Induction System is as follows: Maximum Intake Air Restriction with Clean Filter Element is 2.16 kPa. With Dirty Filter Element it is 6.23 kPa. Max. static pressure after Radiator is 0.125 kPa. The Cooling Systems on the enghine depends on water circulation by centrifugal pump on engine (fresh water forced circulation).

Keeping the engine cool in Morrocco’s hot climate is a challenge but the coolant capacity of the engine is as follows: approx. 23 litres, with Radiator(Air On 43°C) : Approx 114 litres.

*Coolant flow rate: 660 litres / min @ 1800 rpm, 550 liters / min @ 1500 rpm.

*Pressure Cap Max. 49 kPa

* Water Temperature - maximum for Standby and Prime Power: 103 °C. Before start of full load 40 °C. The water pump is a centrifugal type driven by belt

* Thermostat Type and Range Wax –pellet type, Opening temp. 71°C , Full open temp. 85°C.

* Cooling fan Blower type, plastic , 915 mm diameter, 9 blades. Two radiator options are provided, based on allowable maximum Air temperature On radiator inlet (Air

On) : Air On 43°C / Air On 52°C - ATB (Ambient Temperature before Boiling) of generator set varies depending on the engine room ventilation design, even if the same radiator applied, explainsd Doosan. The company advises that ‘adequate selection of radiator options by means of the cooling test is highly recommended, and generator set makers are responsible for the selection’.

The engine’s fuel system is based around a Bosch type in-line pump with integrated, electromagnetic actuator. The diesel fuel feed pump has capacity of 630 litres/hr.

Battery Charging depends on a 27.5V x 45A STAMFORD alternator with a built-in type IC regulator. www.doosan.com

What is REMA? (Review of Electricity Market Arrangement)

The Government’s Review of Electricity Market Arrangements (REMA) will create a smarter, more flexible & transparent electricity market that can meet the evolving needs of people and businesses in a world powered by electricity. Where we are right now: The current state of the electricity market arrangements in the UK can be compared to a football team.

However, like any team, there are some players who are past their prime and may be slowing the team down. The goalie is pretty unreliable, and keeps wandering away to have a cigarette, while there is no clear captain, meaning the team often loses focus and misses important opportunities.

REMA presents a chance to make some changes in the team. However, if it is mishandled or poorly implemented, it could lead to a situation similar to Chelsea this season, who have been characterised by a lack of teamwork and collaboration, with each player focused solely on their individual performance and ego.

This approach can lead to a lack of cohesion, poor results, and ultimately, huge expenses for the industry and consumers. Where we could be if we get it right:

If REMA is successful and well-executed, it could be like Manchester City this season. Like Man City, the electricity market could become a collection of world-class individual components, each pushing forward with their own unique strengths, but always willing to assist and support each other. This approach can lead to a powerful and dynamic team, which is more efficient and effective at meeting the needs of the industry and consumers.
