Demand for Powerguard’s Silent Generators Grow

Powerguard has added to their range of SP Inverters. The SP Inverters are for fully off-grid or hybrid electrical power systems, where an engine-driven generator is not suitable because of the noise, fumes and inconvenience. These weather-proof units are ideal for powering any electrical equipment which would need a 230V mains supply.

The SP inverter range now covers 3kVA to 16kVA single phase. The SP Inverters are built to last and encompass industrial components making them rugged and reliable. The power supplied from the system is stable, clean and regulated, and the low distortion sine-wave created by the system can actually be better than the grid mains supply. The SP inverters provide remote electrical mains equivalent AC power using accumulated battery power; they are particularly suitable for short term events (4-5 hours) that require power up to 20kVA although bigger systems can be supplied.

The SP Inverters are weather-proof and very mobile, giving the user the freedom to locate them almost anywhere in any weather. These systems are available to purchase as well as on hire and come complete with power leads and multi-socket outlets meaning users are ‘ready to go’. Applications perfect for this device include marquee lighting, sound systems and discos, computer systems, concerts & bands, and all other off-grid systems requiring temporary mains electricity.

New Combined Heat and Power (CHP) System

Powerguard has introduced a highly efficient and cost-effective Combined Heat and Power (CHP) system for off-grid applications. Using tried and tested heat recovery technology, the system provides free hot water as a by-product of generating electricity. With a simple yet dependable design, two different temperatures of water can be produced simultaneously for use as space heating and hot water mains.

The PS CHP system utilises a diesel generator which is fitted with highly efficient heat recovery units on the exhaust manifold and engine block. The wasted heat from the engine is transferred to heat water which is directed to a well-insulated heat dump. The water temperatures are electronically controlled via a revolutionary power management system called the Powerguard PS System. Using a PS System to automatically control both the electrical power and water circuits (to optimise the use of energy) means that the overall efficiency of the system is more than 80%.

The PS CHP System can be installed to a new property or retrofitted into an existing water main. In any case, the system can be commissioned in an impressively short period using an experienced Powerguard engineer. Providing reliable 24/7 electrical heat and power, the system offers significant fuel savings over alternatives. The PS CHP System is also designed to accommodate different types of renewable energy to compliment the system including Hydro, Wind Turbine, and Solar.
