Soundproofing and depolluting exhaust from generator sets (gensets)

Details

Published: 06 April 2024

ITS will participate in the soundproofing and depollution of the exhaust of 7 generator sets (gensets), with a unit power of 3.5 MW installed in a data center in Western Europe.

The targeted performances are as follows:

• a sound pressure level at 1 m limited to a maximum value of 85 dB(A)
• NOx emissions reduced to a maximum value of 0.5 mg/Nm3

They will be obtained by installation, in the form of a multifunctional skid, of:

• an exhaust silencer (the metal parts will be made of stainless...
