Inmesol Generators in Saudi Arabia’s Telecommunications Network

The telecommunications company Saudi Telecom Company has decided to use Inmesol generators in order to supply its telecommunications network in the middle of the desert at several different points of Saudi Arabia’s geography.

The country’s desert climate – with extremely high daytime temperatures, which drop dramatically overnight, together with frequent sandstorms – requires special equipment to be designed so that it will withstand the extreme conditions to which it is exposed in the places where it needs to be located.

Special Features of the Inmesol Generators Installed in the Desert

Continuous power supply: 24/7/365

This type of installation needs a small but constant power supply: 24 hours per day, 7 days per week, every day of the year.

Inmesol’s solution is to install equipment consisting of pairs of generators which, by operating alternately in eight-hour cycles are able to function non-stop. With this system, each of the two generator units making up the set can “rest” while the other one is working. In general, the power supplied by the generators varies between 20 and 30 kVA.

In order to guarantee a constant power supply, this system also envisages that the reserve generator can go into operation should there be any concern about some anomaly in the functioning of the generator that is supplying power at the time.

Since the aim is that each unit in the equipment should be able to work at full capacity when necessary, and also that the engines should not function below the minimum acceptable charge, an artificial charge is incorporated in the equipment.

Owing to their location, and in order to facilitate their maintenance, this equipment has been fitted with:

• Automated control of oil supply.
• A cyclone-type pre-filter in order to prolong the useful life of the oil for up to a thousand hours.
• A fuel transfer pump.
