Benefits of Commercial Generators for Educational Facilities

It’s common knowledge that backup generators deliver important benefits to many industries, from banks and restaurants to hospitals and mines – but their importance to the education industry is often overlooked. Here are some important points to consider when investing in your school, college, university or vocational facility from CAT rental, the team that can help you hire a generator affordably today. 

Hire a Generator to Solve the Following Challenges 
  • Class disruptions and scheduling: This is a critical challenge in the industry, whether you are running a school or tertiary institution. The last thing you need is a blackout that leaves classes cancelled, schedules disrupted, or prevents exams and tests from taking place. Catching up classes or tests can be tough in a school environment but is far more challenging in a university setting. When you have backup generators, however, there’s no interruption to the day and classes, exams, presentations and meetings can continue as scheduled. 

  • Research: University research facilities and laboratories rely heavily on a stable, constant supply of electricity. When the grid goes down, whether due to maintenance or a blackout, the operation of these facilities is compromised. This can be catastrophic, affecting research in progress, causing loss of data, and compromising samples. This can place student progress at risk, along with funding. Backup generators and UPS systems like the ones that you can hire from CAT rental will ensure that power supply to these laboratories and facilities is uncompromised, preventing money, research and careers from suffering severe setbacks. 

  • Computer systems and administration networks: Educational facilities of every kind rely heavily on computer networks to run them on a day-to-day basis. This includes everything from the tablets, presentation equipment and computers used in the classroom to the administrative IT systems that run the facility. When these systems go offline due to a blackout, critical functions like payroll, registration and scheduling are compromised. Departments can no longer communicate, students cannot upload papers or complete lessons, and sensitive data can be lost. Another area of concern is security, where power loss to networks can leave them vulnerable to hacking. 

  • Facility safety, security and communications: Without power from the grid or a backup generator, multiple important systems will go offline, often causing a facility to shut down for several days. This includes emergency lighting and security systems, refrigeration systems, smoke/fire detection, PA systems, access control systems and electronic doors, and electronic teaching equipment.

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...

A Guide to Different Types of Commercial and Industrial Fluid Chillers

Fluid chillers in Australia are used in a variety of different industries, including the food and beverage industry, manufacturing, pharmaceutical, and chemical manufacturing sectors. Running on electrical power , this industrial equipment provides critical cooling and temperature control, and utilizing the right type of fluid chiller will optimize productivity, improve efficiency and lower operating costs.  Types of Industrial Fluid Chillers in Australia By Condenser Type   Air-cooled chillers: Air-cooled fluid chillers use the air in the environment around them assisted by fans to remove heat from the refrigerant in the condenser. It then runs the refrigerant back through the system to provide cooling. As a result, the air around these chillers is usually very warm and they are not recommended in applications where this will be an issue. These systems are often portable, available in both large and small-scale commercial versions, are relatively affordable a...
