When operating the generator in difficult conditions, its protection from external influences is required. Panel block containers with a robust metal casing do an excellent job with this task.
Block containers are special containers for placing various equipment, including generators. The designs differ in size and configuration (equipment).
What is included in the construction of a block container for power plants
The exact equipment depends on the specific model. Equipment protection is provided by strong metal walls, an insurmountable barrier for precipitation and mechanical stress.
A certain temperature is maintained inside the container (due to internal heating systems), which allows starting a diesel generator without problems in cold conditions.
The location of the power plant in a warm and dry space greatly facilitates the operation and maintenance of the equipment, simplifies access to the diesel generator.
What the container structure consists of
The blocks include different elements:
- durable metal frame;
- sheathing from sandwich panels;
- corrugated sheet flooring;
- insulated entrance door (can be equipped with a door closer);
- lock, cable holes.
The page https://www.litenergo.ru/catalog/energeticheskoe-oborudovanie/kontejnery-dlya-des/ describes in detail the types of block containers for generators, indicating technical characteristics and equipment.
When choosing blocks, you need to focus on the dimensions of the structures (models have different indicators of length, width and height). Consider the equipment of the container, the presence of additional compartments, etc.
Benefits of using generator containers
Block containers protect equipment from rain, snow and other climatic influences, while simultaneously solving the problem of comfortable work with the equipment. The use of additional technical solutions ensures stable operation of generators at low temperatures.
The presence of such a container increases the mobility of the diesel power plant - the equipment can be transported by road, it is safer and faster to move from one site to another. The designs simplify the installation of diesel generators - operation can be started immediately, without the complicated and time-consuming processes associated with the installation of large-scale power plants at the facility.
Structures can be equipped with:
- fire alarm;
- a locker for service personnel;
- external grilles;
- blinds (including systems with an automatic drive), etc.
Optionally, the units can be provided with additional options and capabilities, including pumping fuel, the presence of a noise-absorbing awning, heated blinds, etc. The customer himself determines the configuration and equipment, taking into account the budget and the peculiarities of the operation of the generators.
Thanks to containers, the cost of installing a diesel generator set is reduced - there is no need to build and equip a special room, you just buy a block and place a power plant.
Heating and ventilation systems can be installed inside the structures, solving the problem of maintaining the desired temperature level. The advantages include the provision of anti-vandal protection due to the alarm and strong metal walls - the blocks are equipped with entrance doors with a lock.
The use of mini-containers for power plants is relevant in any cases when it is necessary to place a generator and provide comfortable conditions for its maintenance. The units are installed in medical institutions, industrial facilities, communication and data processing centers, construction sites, etc.
