Despite all the achievements of modern energy, the ramification of power supply networks, backup power sources still remain in the focus of consumers’ attention.

Among such devices, the leading place is occupied by diesel power plants – diesel generators .

Reliable and efficient

Diesel generator advantages:

• can work both in stationary and mobile versions;
• use economical fuel;
• irreplaceable in emergency situations;
• are used at remote sites in offline mode;
• help to avoid additional costs for a permanent power transmission line.

Let there be light!

The modern diesel power plant is available in various versions.

A wide range of diesel generators is produced by the Barnaul “AMZ Gazenergomash”:

• Stationary diesel generators are installed indoors at enterprises, construction sites. Designed for extended operation – up to a day. At the same time, they do not require additional maintenance. However, they must be equipped with a liquid cooling system.
• Mobile diesel generators are mounted inside the all-weather KUNG. They can be transferred to any remote point. Isolated from the environment, they are able to work in both heat and cold.
• Diesel generators in insulated containers are designed to operate in all-weather conditions.
• In the open air, the most commonly used are bonded diesel generators . They are protected from the environment by a special casing.
• Mobile diesel generators are usually low-powered. They have small dimensions, are convenient for transportation (they are in wheeled version). Profitable and effective in a domestic environment. And they work without interruption for 4-8 hours.

Diesel generator control systems

They depend on the parameters of a specific unit model and are focused on preventing emergency situations. The systems, usually automatic, monitor the condition of the diesel engine so that it does not overheat. The generator is warned of overloads so that there are no short circuits. They monitor the level of fuel and oil, the temperature of the coolant.

In the age of complete electrification of settlements, people rarely think about how difficult it would be today without electricity.

After all, this means the absence of elementary, commonplace amenities:

• Washing in a washing machine, not by hand – in an ice hole
• Of the Internet
• Refrigerator, microwave oven, kettle
• And just basic lighting

In addition to household use of electricity, there is a problem of undersupply of it to industrial consumption zones, due to:

• High rated power of industrial mechanisms, which leads to an increase in consumed electricity
• An increase in consumed electricity entails a proportional increase in the load on sources that have their permissible values, the replacement of which is impossible for a number of reasons.
• Bonded conditions for connecting an industrial enterprise to public power grids and difficulties in obtaining electricity limits
• Considerable remoteness of the facility from power sources

In places where there are problems with power supply, there is a way out, and it is very simple: the use of binary or gas piston generating sets .

Binary generating sets

For autonomous power supply of various consumers, binary electric units can be used – small installations of various capacities for generating electricity due to the combustion of a gas-air mixture. Such units operate either on natural gas or on a mixture of propane and butane. Also, AI92 gasoline serves as a reserve fuel for them. The advantages of binary generating sets are reduced to their autonomy and the ability to provide electricity to a wide range of consumers. Also, the advantages include a range of energy sources.

Gas piston generating sets

They serve the same purposes as binary units , but only run on natural gas. The advantages of gas piston units are similar to binary ones, with the addition that the ability to operate only on natural gas provides greater environmental friendliness and a lower noise load.

Application area of ​​binary and gas piston generating sets

Wherever power interruptions are possible or where there is none at all, these generating sets can be used. Our company began to produce the first gas piston generating sets back in 2003. Over the past decades, our satisfied customers have become:

• Private cottage villages
• Industrial zones
• Food, construction and forestry industries
• Communal services
• Farms
• Autonomous power supply in case of emergency

We produce several models of units with various capacities ranging from 16 to 200 kW. Qualified specialists of Gazenergomash will help you to choose a binary or gas piston electric unit, based on your needs.

Recently, such high-tech devices as gas-piston electric units, as well as gas-piston mini-TPPs produced on their basis, are gaining more and more popularity .

What is a mini thermal power plant?

Mini-TPP is an independent power supply system designed to generate combined heat and electricity.

High quality Mini-TPPs, manufactured on the basis of full-fledged volumetric gas-piston electric units, are produced only at an enterprise that has no analogues, and this, of course, is the Altai Machine-Building Plant Gazenergomash.

Already now in the city of Barnaul, the Gazenergomash plant produces more than a dozen models of gas piston, diesel, gasoline and binary power plants and mini-thermal power plants based on them. All products manufactured by the plant are carefully monitored and approved by the Federal Service for Environmental, Technical and Nuclear Supervision of the Russian Federation.

Main advantages

The advantages of mini-thermal power plants are expressed primarily in the fact that, unlike an ordinary gas-powered electric generator, they have an additional system designed directly for utilizing heat generated by the operation of an internal combustion engine. The heat generated by the mini-TPP goes, as a rule, directly to the heating network.

How does a mini-thermal power plant work?

The operation of a mini-thermal power plant is largely determined by the engine system, which, in turn, depends directly on the source of the supplied thermal energy.

The following sources of thermal energy can be distinguished:

• engine exhaust gases generated by the operation of mini-thermal power plants;
• resources coming from the engine oil cooling system;
• resources coming from the water cooling system of the engine.

The heat recovery system of the Mini-TPP includes:

• shell-and-tube waste heat boiler;
• bypass channel with gas dampers in the working and bypass lines with manual and electric drive mechanism controlled by the automation system.
• circulation pump in the main coolant line;
• bellows expansion joints for connecting gas ducts;
• a plate heat exchanger for collecting heat from the engine coolant and oil and transferring it to the main coolant;
• automatic control cabinet for the heat recovery system;
• temperature and pressure sensors (sets of various composition and cost);
• a set of valves and pipelines.
