Benefits of Backup Generators for Airports

Airports are a critical transport and logistics hub in the modern world, and we rely on them for everything from business and leisure travel to expedited cargo. The reliability and services of an airport set the standards for a city, and many run 24 hours a day, every day of the week, throughout the year. As a result, backup generators are non-negotiable for airports, ensuring sufficient power generation for seamless air travel services. Here are some insights from the CAT rental team. 

Backup Generators

What Happens if a Blackout Occurs and There’s No Backup Generator? 

Because airports operate 24/7, 365 days of the year, blackouts are inevitable – whether they are due to damage to infrastructure, flooding, maintenance on the grid, a blown connection at the airport or even wildfires. If this occurs and there is no working backup generator on-site, the consequences can be severe, even at smaller facilities. 

  • Outgoing flights will be canceled, leaving passengers and cargo stranded 
  • Incoming flights will be re-routed, disrupting travel plans and freight routes 
  • Airport systems for tracking and monitoring flights will be inoperable 
  • Security systems, including cameras and scanners, will be inoperable 
  • Communications systems will be offline, so pilots and airport personnel won’t receive critical information about weather, flight-related incidents, threats or law enforcement alerts 
  • The airport heating and cooling systems will shut down, causing temperatures to become too hot or too cold, and impacting on airflow and quality 

In such a critical hub, loss of power can be devastating, compromising safety and security, damaging the airport’s reputation and causing profit losses.

Popular types of industrial coolers

From foods to the minerals industry, a variety of companies use industrial coolers as the portable generator to add efficiency to material processing. When selecting industrial cooling equipment, there are two popular types your business can choose from such as a rotary cooler or a fluid bed cooler. This article will provide some basic understanding of these generator sets . Rotary cooler A rotary cooler is a robust and long-lasting industrial cooling solution. The main advantage they have to offer is their heavy-duty drum construction. The robustness of a rotary drum accepts a broad range of feedstock at a high capacity, making it the workhorse of the bulk solids processing industry for both drying and cooling procedures. Rotary coolers use a counter-current air-flow design, along with ambient or chilled air, to efficiently cool material. Additionally, flights lift and cascade material as it tumbles through the drum, enhancing the cooling process. There are a variety of a...
