Background
Natural gas is one of the most significant life force in fast growing economy like India, which helps in meeting country's total energy requirement. With a growing demand of 8% per annum, import of natural gas in liquid form has been encouraged from 2003. Now imported LNG constitutes ≈25% of country’s annual natural gas consumption.
This megastructure is basically a storage facility for LNG that comprises special tanks and re-gasification engine room supported by captive power plant building where Vertiv has been engaged in providing thermal and power management solutions with chilled water unit and through UPS & batteries respectively. In continuation, contractor has asked Vertiv to provide a pressurized ventilation solution in engine room. The engines generate large amount of heat which not only affects engine combustion cycle adversely but also damages other equipment such as generators, cooling and electrical systems, hence customer was in need of an extravagant solution that can improve the airflow convection property in the engine rooms.
Case Summary
Location: South India
Critical Needs:
- To create a pressurized system in the engine room with an allowable temperature rise of 5 °C.
- Maintain optimum air flow within engine room considering 30 air change per hour as per design data.
- 24x7 operations.
- Rapid deployment of necessary solution.
Vertiv Solutions:
- Optimum ventilation enables engines to achieve a proper combustion cycle, improves engine life and facilitates easy maintenance.
- End-to-end rapidly deployed thermal management solution from Vertiv enables customer to meet projected time line.
