Ospedale Niguarda C\u00e0 Granda \u2013 Milan[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\n
A large hospital covering 330,000 square meters<\/strong> for a total of 1,285 beds<\/strong>, which works 24 hours a day 365 days a year<\/strong>, needs a considerable amount of energy.<\/p>\n Cogeneration<\/strong> makes it possible to optimise overall performance and the efficient use of fossil fuels over 80%; this corresponds to lower costs<\/strong> and lower emissions<\/strong>, compared to the separate production of electricity and heat.<\/p>\n For this reason in 2009 at the time of a major renovation the opportunity occurred to adopt modern solutions for a rational use of primary energy<\/strong> and to apply new low cost, environmentally friendly techniques<\/strong>.[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”transparent” position=”center” up=”20″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_type=”section” type=”grid” text_align=”left” el_class=”grey-element” padding_bottom=”0″ padding_top=”0″][vc_column width=”1\/1″][vc_column_text]\n The plant is equipped with a supervision system<\/strong> for each machine and for the entire plant, both for controlling from a remote PC and local control using a touch screen located on the control panel, in an easily accessible and protected place.<\/p>\n This system makes it possible to collect and record all of the main data of the cogeneration plant, which can be exported in the most appropriate formats for required energy analyses.<\/p>\n The supervision system can also be used to set the electrical loads creating a detailed daily operating plan aimed at defining the electricity level to import and export from the grid or to create a precise thermal load management logic.<\/p>\n The power of the unit is able to supply 16 MW of electricity <\/strong>and 16 MW of heat<\/strong> in the form of steam and hot water.<\/p>\n A characteristic which sets this plant apart is the possibility for island mode operation \u2013 including in load sharing configuration between 2 engines \u2013 aimed at ensuring the energy supply of preset utilities, including during outages or abnormalities of the public grid.<\/p>\n A similar structure with three 3×3,916 kWe methane gas cogenerators<\/strong> and heat recovery systems for the production of hot water and steam was built in Milan in 2008 for use at the San Raffaele hospital.<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_type=”section” type=”grid” text_align=”left” padding_top=”40″ padding_bottom=”50″][vc_column width=”1\/1″][vc_column_text]Cogeneration plant performance:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]Air Jordan VII 7.5 Ture Flight<\/a><\/span>What we did<\/h2>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Intergen supplied a cogeneration plant for use at the hospital: a facility built with 4 independent plants<\/strong>, each served by a cogeneration unit equipped with a MMW TCG2032V16 methane gas supplied engine of 4,000 kWe<\/strong> and a heat recovery system for the production of hot water and steam for use by a trigeneration technological center.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_type=”section” type=”full_width” text_align=”left”][vc_column width=”1\/1″][layerslider_vc id=”6″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_type=”section” type=”grid” text_align=”left” el_class=”grey-element” padding_bottom=”20″ padding_top=”20″][vc_column width=”1\/1″][vc_column_text]A soundproofing system ensures a noise level under 45dB(A),<\/strong> while the devices to trap fumes guarantee an abatement of polluting emission within the levels established by the Region of Lombardy.<\/p>\n
