Hospitals

In hospitals, units such as operating theatres, intensive care, laboratories and emergency departments must keep running during a power failure. A hospital generator comes online within seconds of a mains failure and supplies these critical loads.

What matters in a hospital?

• Start-up time: When the mains fails, the transfer panel starts the generator automatically and transfers the load. The changeover times set by the standards for medical locations are the foundation of generator selection and panel design.
• Redundancy: If a single generator fails, the whole hospital goes dark. Running several generators in parallel via a synchronization panel (N+1) eliminates this risk.
• Load profile: Imaging equipment, lifts, HVAC and medical gas systems draw sudden, variable loads. The generator must be sized to handle the largest motor start and sudden load increases.
• Fuel autonomy: In long outages, a hospital may run on its generator for days. Tank capacity and the refuelling plan should be settled at the start of the project.
• Noise and exhaust: Hospitals are sensitive environments. A soundproof canopy and a correctly positioned exhaust protect the comfort of patients and staff.

Hospital projects with Terex Diesel

We manufacture our sets at our facility in Türkiye, and none ships without passing a full-load test. For hospital projects, we provide the generator together with the synchronization panel, a medium voltage solution where needed, commissioning and scheduled maintenance, all from a single source.
