Lack of air conditioning resolved with temporary rental in department store
A 5,500m² department store in Aracaju faced a failure in its 10+ year-old air conditioning equipment. Temperatures of 30°C caused discomfort for customers and staff. A complex logistical challenge arose: the store’s commercial pedestrian area prevented access by conventional trucks/cranes. Tecnogera devised an innovative solution: using the neighboring store’s parking lot on the street behind for hoisting. Nighttime operation (9 PM-4 AM): a 22T telescopic crane with a 34.8m boom transported the equipment to the rooftop. A 170TR Chiller was provided on a turnkey basis: hoses, cables, freight, loading/unloading, installation/removal. The initial 30-day contract was extended to 90 days. The maintenance manager, familiar with Tecnogera from other units, trusted the complex solution. The company is ISO 9001 certified, has a rigorous NPS program, 24-hour service, and distinguished commercial/technical 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…
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.
Wind Power to Become the Second Largest Energy Source in 2019
Wind energy is set to become Brazil’s second largest energy source in 2019, reaching 15 GW by March (surpassing biomass at 14.7 GW). The sector boasts 568 wind farms and 7,000 wind turbines across 12 states, with Rio Grande do Norte leading at 3.9 GW. Brazil climbed from 15th in the world in 2012 to 8th in 2017. Power generators and load banks are crucial during commissioning, simulating real-world scenarios to detect instabilities before the commercial operation of the farms.
Tecnogera secures contract with Petrobras
Tecnogera has won a bid to supply temporary power to Petrobras for three years (extendable for an additional two), covering facilities in 15 states. The contract includes power generators, cables, transfer switches, and accessories to meet demands such as technical failures, shutdowns…
Discover the best solution for your needs
Tecnogera has created a comprehensive guide to help you decide whether to rent or buy a power generator. The e-book covers key variables such as cost, maintenance, and equipment depreciation, providing essential insights for making an informed decision. With detailed analyses of initial investment, operational costs, and the benefits of each option, this resource assists companies in selecting the most suitable solution for their temporary or permanent power needs.
Strategic Planning and Supplier Partnerships Kept Tecnogera Operational During Truckers’ Strike
Tecnogera maintained its operations during the May 2018 truckers’ strike through strategic planning that included early fuel supply and the creation of a technical fuel reserve. The company prioritized critical operations, such as isolated systems in Acre serving over 20,000 people, highlighting the importance of local partnerships and efficient logistics in crisis situations.
Reservoir levels improve in the Northeast, but Cantareira is a concern
ONS forecasts improvement in Brazilian reservoirs for 2018, with expected levels of 30% versus 18.7% in the Southeast/Central-West and 5.5% in the Northeast in 2017. Cantareira System is a concern with 48.1% (without dead volume), below the 61.5% of 2013 before the crisis. Generators were crucial in water crises: Sabesp used them for pumping dead volume in 2014-2015 and in the Sobradinho Reservoir (BA) in 2017 when it reached 5.1%. Tecnogera has expertise in sanitation, providing a 14.5 MVA gas-powered mini power plant for Sabesp to pump 4,000 liters/second in the Rio Grande-Alto Tietê project.
Blackout underscores need for investment in energy security
The March 21, 2018 blackout affected 13 states in the North and Northeast, causing millions in losses for the industrial sector. The incident, resulting from a technical failure at the Xingu (PA) substation, highlighted the vulnerability of the national electrical system and the importance of energy security solutions. Generator rental emerges as a viable alternative for companies that cannot afford operational downtime, offering specialized maintenance and up-to-date technology without the need for significant equipment acquisition investments.
