Where to Use a 100 kVA Generator

A 100 kVA power generator is compact and efficient, making it ideal for multiple applications. Key uses include: condominiums with up to 20 apartments, construction sites, industries with extended shifts, hospitals, colleges, businesses with perishable goods, and events. Features: low fuel consumption, 100-liter tank, up to 13 hours of autonomy, easy transport, immediate response. It ensures the operation of emergency lights, security cameras, alarms, and electric gates during outages. Tecnogera offers an EaaS model with a modern fleet.

How does the fan coil unit system work?

This type of system is one of the best options for ensuring climate control in large spaces

The Fan Coil Unit system functions as a ventilation coil that uses chilled water (not refrigerant gas) for climate control. Components: fan + coil with circulating cold water. Capacity measured in TR (1 TR = 12,000 BTU). Works integrated with Chiller (water cooler). Advantages vs traditional air conditioning: up to 2x greater energy efficiency, ideal for large spaces (hypermarkets, industries, malls, airports), precise temperature control, operational costs shared among users, flexible adaptation to environmental needs. Applications: large spaces with high ceilings, high foot traffic, strict thermal control requirements. Tecnogera offers complete industrial/commercial climate control solutions.

What is a chiller?

A large white chiller is installed outdoors on a paved surface near a modern building, surrounded by trees and plants. The area is marked with yellow and black striped tape, highlighting Tecnogera's robust cooling system under the blue sky.

Cooling system with 4 basic components: compressor (increases pressure of refrigerant R-22), condenser (heat exchanger), expansion device (reduces pressure), and evaporator (cools air/water). Main types: water-cooled (centrifugal 300-2000TR, screw 100-600TR) and air-cooled (scroll 12-150TR, screw 100-350TR). Works together with Fan Coil for complete air conditioning.

Guaranteed climate control at the airport

Rio de Janeiro Airport conducted maintenance on two Central Chilled Water Plants during peak season (December-March). Tecnogera provided an emergency turnkey solution: 2 Chillers 300TR (Support CAG), 3 Chillers 170TR (Cargo Terminal 17,000m³). The complexity of 24-hour operation required adjustments: customized headers for hydraulic connection, 1000A distribution panels with individual breakers, extra panel protection. Complete supply: 300m 6″ 150psi water hoses, 2000m 240mm² cables, transport, installation, preventive/corrective maintenance. Specialized service included rigorous documentation: ASO, NR 10/20/35, APR, PPRA, Federal Police accreditation. Tecnogera is ISO 9001 certified, with a 4-hour corrective service SLA, 24-hour support.

Temporary HVAC solutions mitigate losses in the retail sector

Restaurant at Anália Franco Shopping Mall (Tatuapé/SP), a North American casual dining chain in expansion, needed to replace an inefficient 10+ year-old Chiller. Complex logistical challenge: the old equipment was installed in a building under construction (crane without interference), now with iron beams creating obstacles for installing new equipment. The only accesses: elevator and parking ramp. Tecnogera selected equipment with suitable dimensions for movement. Solution provided: 2 Chillers of 20TR each, complete infrastructure with accessories in a turnkey model. Service met the strict requirements of the mall’s management, operation during nighttime. Equipment remained for 30 days (initially planned for 15 days). Differentials: compliance with management requirements, equipment size requirements, 24-hour commercial/technical service…

What will the energy market look like in 2020? Opportunities and challenges

The Brazilian energy sector is projected to grow by 4.5% in 2020, but electricity bills will increase by 2.42%. The installed capacity of the power generation sector will grow by more than 50%, totaling around 20 billion reais due to subsidies for solar and wind energy. Power generators offer an economical alternative for companies, reducing peak hour costs by up to 30% and ensuring operational continuity.

Power generator maintenance: types and how to perform

Preventive maintenance of generators is essential to preserve lifespan and ensure performance. Routines divided into specific periods: daily (fuel/oil levels, general inspection), weekly (drainage, battery, filters), monthly (connections, belts, cooling), semiannual (hoses, filter replacement) and annual (complete cleaning). It should only be performed by specialized professionals to avoid irreparable damage.

Standby Generators and Their Use During Peak Hours

Emergency generators remain on standby, activating only when needed. Ideal for peak hours when rates can be up to 3 times higher due to tariff flags (green, yellow, red). Essential applications in universities, supermarkets, shopping centers, hotels, and multi-shift industries. They offer reliability, power quality, and substantial savings without operational disruption.

Pharmaceutical Retail Growth Drives Demand for Temporary Power

Brazil has 78,000 pharmacies (1 for every 2,800 people) with a growth rate of 3% per year. The largest chain has 1,800 stores and 12.9% market share. Temperature-sensitive medications (2-8°C) require continuous refrigeration—any power interruption leads to loss of efficacy and mandatory disposal. Since 2015, the largest pharmaceutical chain has invested in energy security with power generators for continuous operation. Tecnogera has established a national network of partners for emergency service to pharmacies, ensuring medication protection.

Rain and High Temperatures Drive Temporary Energy Market

Several white Tecnogera power generators are lined up on a paved yard, ready to provide temporary power. Orange safety cones mark the area as dark clouds signal rain and tall buildings appear softly in the background.

The International Research Institute for Climate predicts a 70% chance of El Niño in 2019, leading to dry weather in the Central-North and wet conditions in the South/Southeast with high temperatures and heavy rains. Storms cause power outages disrupting business operations. In retail, demand for temporary energy is expected to grow by 50% at the end of 2018 and the beginning of 2019. Rental becomes a viable alternative including generators, accessories, and 24-hour service, avoiding high acquisition costs.
