Energy Power Systems

When you run a business or a facility, a power failure is more than an inconvenience. It disrupts production, halts business in its tracks, and can even put lives in danger – unless you have a backup generator . With the right temporary electrical power solution, you can switch seamlessly from the grid to independent power with no disruption to critical systems. Here are some examples of when commercial generators become essential, from CAT rental specialists.  Emergency Preparedness  There are many reasons for the grid to go down but one of the most severe is a natural or manmade emergency. Having an emergency plan in place is an essential part of effective risk management, allowing people, essential systems and data to be properly protected within your facility. Your backup generator system will be an integral part of your emergency plan, supplying temporary electrical power for lighting, system backups, keeping critical systems online, and ensuring emergency...

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.  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 carg...

In a challenging economy where agility and performance are key, businesses need to act on every competitive advantage that presents itself. When it comes to industrial equipment, this means renting or hiring machinery and power generators rather than buying. Here’s why, from Australia’s leading CAT rental team.  Maximize available resources while minimizing operating costs  Generally speaking, this is the central benefit of choosing to rent industrial equipment rather than buy it outright. This translates into several significant advantages, which include:  Avoid upfront investment costs: Industrial cooling equipment (fluid chillers, cooling towers, heat exchangers and air handlers), commercial power generators and air compressors can quickly amount to a significant capital cost. It may take many months or even years for an organization to develop a strategy to accommodate these costs and once you’ve purchased it, that capital is locked into that equi...

Trying to decide if your business needs a commercial backup generator to provide temporary electrical power ? Here are the pros and cons to consider, from the CAT rental team. Cons of investing in a backup generator Expense – Although generators have become more affordable over time, there is an initial expense that needs to be addressed. Whether or not a backup generator will fit into your budget is entirely dependent on your business – and remember that you can buy high-quality used generators or rent them on a contract if you are working on a smaller budget. Fuel and maintenance – Generators require fuel (diesel, natural gas, biogas) to operate and should be maintained according to an annual schedule. Again, this is an expense your organization will need to be able to handle – but there are alternatives. When you work with the CAT rental team, we handle servicing, repairs, and maintenance for you according to your contract. Size – It’s important to buy a backup...

This creates a lot of frustration for small and medium businesses to rely on standby power to run their daily business activities.

Industrial coolers and fluid chillers in Australia are an essential technology in many industries, especially with our sunny, hot climate. Coolers can effectively ventilate large open spaces economically and energy-efficiently, while fluid chillers keep equipment at optimal running temperature, keeping workplaces comfortable and boosting productivity while reducing downtime. Here are 5 questions about industrial coolers answered by the CAT rental team. 1. How do industrial coolers work? This technology cools the air through the process of evaporation rather than vapor-compression refrigeration. Essentially, water is pumped from a tank onto a cooling pad, where it is absorbed. A fan or blower sucks warm air from the space you want to be cooled and passes it through the pad, where it is cooled as the water evaporates. The cooled air is then released into the workspace. 2. Where are industrial coolers typically used? This equipment is best suited to large commercial an...

Even with windows open and fans moving the air, the exhaust fumes will quickly build up.  In order t...
