Mahindra Powerol - Redefining the future of gensets.

Mahindra Powerol has been in the gensets category from a very long time. We manufacture robust and fuel efficient gensets for various segments. Some of the advantages of our gensets are:

ADVANTAGES OF POWEROL GENERATORS

1. Best in class fuel efficiency.

2. Compact design (minimum foot print).

3. Low noise level.

3. Compact engine design (good weight to power ratio).

4. Compliant with latest environmental norms.

Our gensets have various features that will help us redefine the future of the genset industry. Let us look at them below: -

A)     SMARTPHONE CONTROLLED GENSET

In an era when our home appliances like AC, TV and Refrigerators are becoming smart, why not your genset? Mahindra Powerol gensets are truly future ready, smart and controlled by ‘DiGi-Sense’ technology. Our smart gensets can be remotely monitored via your smartphone or laptop.

Various tasks like checking fuel consumption, running hours, checking the coolant temperature, oil level etc. can be carried out from the comfort of your home or office without going near the genset.

B)     COMMITMENT FOR A GREENER FUTURE – GREEN TECHNOLOGY

Air pollution is everywhere. It is a global concern. There can’t be any excuse for inaction.

Our sincere commitment towards a greener future is articulated by the launch of India’s first CPCB 2 approved CNG Genset.

Zero particulate matter emission and very low operating cost makes these gensets truly economical and environment friendly.

C)      FUEL-EFFICIENT HEAVY-DUTY ENGINES - ELECTRONICALLY CONTROLLED

The bigger engines of our portfolio are all technologically advanced modern day engines, engineered for superior performance. These rugged heavy duty engines are low maintenance and perfectly suited for difficult working conditions.

These are electronically controlled CRDE (Common Rail Diesel Engine) engines. An Electronic Control Unit acts as the brain of the engine. This highly sophisticated brain primarily optimizes the fuel injection system and controls the emission and much more.

D)     FUEL SAVING TECHNOLOGY FOR TELECOM

For the first time in Telecom industry , Mahindra Powerol presented a patented innovative technology – Electronic Fuel Saving System (eFSS). The technology enables variable speed governing on diesel gensets. An intelligent engine governing by varying the engine speed for optimum diesel efficiency based on power demand.

With this technology, the Diesel Generator consumes 18 - 20% less diesel. It also reduces carbon dioxide emission approximately by 5.5 Ton per year per site. A truly green technology.

E)      SOLARISATION OF TELECOM SITES

Mahindra Powerol offers complete Energy Management Solution (EMS) to Telecom towers with solarising the existing diesel generator backed towers.

Solar power is generated using Photo Voltaic (PV) cells. The output is suitably attached to an intelligent Controller which charges the Batteries or directly powers the Tower based on the load and time of the day.

Installing a Diesel Generator’s Exhaust Pipe

The purpose of the diesel generator set exhaust system is to release harmful smoke to a certain height outdoors and reduce noise. 

   A) Precautions: -

        I.            All indoor generator sets should use a non-leakage exhaust pipe and the installation should comply with relevant regulations. Most importantly, the pipe should not be in contact with flammable materials and should not become a public hazard.  

     II.            The most important factor that should be considered is that the back pressure should not exceed the allowable range, because excessive back pressure will greatly reduce the efficiency of the engine, durability, and greatly increase fuel consumption. To reduce the back pressure, the exhaust pipe should be as short as possible. 

B) Other Points to be looked at: 

•  Unwelded flat steel material or in some cases asbestos cement is used to manufacture exhaust pipes. 

•  The exhaust pipe should discharge gas to a safe area and there should be a protective cap at the end of the pipe to prevent entry of rainwater. 

•   If the exhaust pipe, passes through a wall, it should be thermally insulated to prevent heat escaping into the wall.
  
•    When the pipe is connected to the generator, it should be sealed to prevent leakage. It will be a good practice to place a condenser with a socket at the bottom of the pipe. 

•              To avoid damage to other components, the connection between the exhaust outlet and the pipeline should use elastic hoses. 

•     If there is a need for a longer exhaust pipe, an expansion joint of an elastic sealing element should be installed.

• Always use smooth bends and keep number of bends minimum.

•  Calculate the total equivalent length of the exhaust piping and accordingly increase the diameter of the pipe. (From 5 to 15 meters, increase inner diameter by 20%. From 15 to 25 meters, increase inner diameter by 40%).

• It is recommended that the exhaust pipe should be installed away from the air filter of the diesel generator engine to prevent the machine from absorbing hot air. 

•  When using multiple diesel generator sets, it is not advisable to install all the exhaust pipes on the same pipe - when some gensets are running and others are shut down, the exhaust gas will enter the unused units, damaging the units. 

•   If the size of the exhaust pipe exceeds the range specified by the unit, please consult the diesel generator set manufacturer.

•  The noise generated by the machine can be lowered by reducing the distance of the exhaust pipe connected to the engine.
