Diesel
UPS 200kVA+ : benefits
The KST group are now able to bring to the market
a unique range of ‘electrically
coupled’ Diesel UPS modules. These modules have been developed to
replace the more traditional ‘mechanically (clutch) coupled’ Diesel
UPS systems.
The KST Rotabloc Diesel UPS offers a range of technical and commercial benefits over its main competitors. With its unique, patented, energy storage system the Rotabloc provides the most advanced rotary UPS technology available.
No longer will users be subject to the pitfalls associated with ‘mechanically coupled’ Diesel UPS systems:-
- High installation costs
- High maintenance costs
- Expensive major overhauls
- Accelerated bearing wear
- Complex system operation
- Excessive capital outlay
So revolutionary is the Rotabloc concept that it addresses all of the points shown above within one simple, reliable system.
So convinced are KS Technology, of the ability of the Rotabloc Diesel UPS to perform, that with every module they provide a ‘no cost’ three year ‘all inclusive’ warranty.
Three year ‘no cost’ warranty
The KST three year warranty provides the end user with the following facilities and is included in the purchase price of each module:
- Free maintenance*
- Free service
- Free call-out
- Free parts
- Free labour
- Free condition monitoring
*First year only during three year warranty.
Design
By adopting ‘electrically coupled’ techniques between the Rotabloc energy storage system and Diesel engine, KST have produced a totally flexible Diesel UPS system.
In common with other diesel UPS suppliers, KST modify the diesel system by the addition of:-
- gravity fed fuel tanks
- redundant starter circuits
- engine pre-heaters
- soft transfer of critical loads.
However, unlike other Diesel UPS suppliers, Piller, Hitec, Euro-Diesel and Hitzinger, KST’s unique Rotabloc system is able to operate with any diesel-gen system, thus allowing the end user to select his preferred Diesel supplier.
The Rotabloc Diesel UPS system is designed to provide battery-less UPS operation during periods of mains fluctuation, short-term loss, complete failure or input supply short circuit.
The unique energy storage system provides sufficient ride-through to ensure that the diesel-gen set canalways be connected. Even allowing for extended cranking periods.
Although complex ‘flywheel’ systems have been previously developed, none has managed to provide the level of ‘ride-through’ delivered by the Rotabloc system.
Neither can they offer the simplicity of construction, where standard components are used throughout.
Other attempts have resulted in the production of ‘bridging’ systems that use non-standard components, i.e special bearings, helium gas cooling, electronic power converters and high maintenance designs.
