Supporting gen-set service - literally: GSS platforms designed to provide easy, safe access for generator set servicing

摘要

The concept "bigger is better" is often true, but the "better" can also bring with it some unexpected complications. A good example is the growth in the size of sub base tanks used on medium and larger generator set systems. With operators looking to ensure that there is plenty of fuel on hand to handle even the longest power failures, the volume of sub base tanks has grown to the point where 5000 gal. tanks are not uncommon. Because of how such tanks are packaged into a gen-set system - under the generator and engine - there was really only one direction to go to make the tanks larger, which was up.
