GENSETS

THREE 3,000 KVA GENSETS BOUGHT BY THE BARCELO HOTEL IN RIVIERA MAYA, MEXICO

Three 20-cylinder 4000 DS3100 generator sets have been supplied to the Barcelo Hotel located in Riviera Maya in Mexico. These were specified by the engineering firm Sampol selected RollsRoyce’s 20-cylinder mtu series 4000 DS3100 diesel gensets. These are now on standby mode at the Barceló hotel in Riviera Maya, Mexico, to provide electricity in the event of a power outage. A spokesman commented: “In Mexico, fluctuations in the electrical supply are frequent, and complete power outages lasting several hours the norm. But thanks to the mtu-brand emergency electrical gensets, that’s not something guests staying in the Barceló hotel on the Yucatan peninsula have to ever worry about.” The mtu Series 4000 diesel generator sets have been in operation for over 25 years already – providing power for data centres, hospitals, airports, industrial plants, residential buildings, public facilities, decentralized power stations, microgrids, hybrid solutions and numerous other applications around the world. Available in six different power ratings, including standby, prime and continuous power, the mtu Series 4000 diesel gensets cover the range from 1,600 to 4,000 kVA (50 Hz) and from 1,125 to 3,250 kWe (60 Hz). In addition to meeting highest quality, performance and fuel efficiency demands, they continue to define the benchmark for excellence - reports Rolls-Royce - with a variety of highly flexible, eco- and cost-efficient features, including low- and medium-voltage alternators, various controller configurations and mechanical or electrical radiators. The Series 4000 provides the highest power density with industry-leading load factors and up to 4,000 kVA (50Hz) and 3,250 kWe (60Hz). It offers extremely fast ramp up, best load acceptance and transient behaviour with minimal frequency and voltage deviations. It provides high performance even under hot ambient conditions and in high altitude environments, reports the company. A spokesman comments: “Mission-critical systems require fast-start capability and one-step load acceptance. That’s why we have designed our systems to offer more available power within only a few seconds. “We offer industry-leading load factors up to 100% for data centres and up to 85% for standby applications. “This exceeds the established industry norms such as ISO 8528-1 and allows even more operating hours for prime, emergency standby and data center applications.” The spokesman concludes: “This way, we can deliver sophisticated power solutions with even more actual available power than other manufacturers with the same nominal power -regardless of the circumstances.” Imagine. Your hotel room is swelteringly hot, there’s no power for charging your cell phone, and, worst of all, the beer is tepid. It’s not a scenario any of us would fancy, particularly not on vacation, when all you wish for is a carefree environment in which to to relax and recuperate. In the majority of hotels in Mexico, however, air-conditioning, TV and a bedside lamp are creature comforts which tourists and other hotel guests cannot take for granted round-theclock. In Mexico, fluctuations in the electrical supply are frequent, and complete power outages lasting several hours the norm. As you’d expect from one of the most prestigious hotels in this region of Mexico, the new Barceló Maya Riviera is offering superior construction, large spaces, and a combination of sophisticated mono-chromatic textures. Located opposite one of the most spectacular beaches in the Mexican Caribbean, it offers the opportunity for customers to enjoy the splendour of a beautiful destination. The site provides white sandy beaches, a turquoise sea, and beautiful views of idyllic surroundings. The hotel offers a total of 850 rooms, each featuring a terrace and hot tub. Over 500 of them have sea views, and 110 have a private pool. They all offer unparalleled views of the sea or the lush hotel gardens. Now, thanks to the installation of the mtu Series 4000 of generator sets, the loss of local electricty supplies is not soemthing any guest needs to worry about.
