diesel or Diesel?

I have been using the word 'diesel' in my working life for years (25 in fact) and never knew until today that it should always be used with a capital 'D'.

Actually, any word named after a real person's invention or deeds should be used as a proper noun as a way of linking that person to the word.

So, hat-tip to good old Rudolf Diesel - he who has indirectly paid our bills for a few decades.

500kVA UK Built Perkins / Stamford Diesel Generator

We at Excel Power Ltd have been designing and exporting diesel generator sets for years now but we have not recently sent anything to Bangladesh. When we worked for other companies, many now swallowed up by larger corporations or dissolved (Slington Ltd, Scada Systems UK Ltd, Dawson Keith Ltd) we were regularly despatching generators to Chittagong.
Well this all changed recently when we were contracted to design, build and ship a high quality 500kVA diesel generator for a prestigious project in Dhaka.


 
Here are a few pictures taken during the customer's inspection visit. We are looking forward to sending a few more soon.

Can you do it within 24 hours?

Can you do it within 24 hours?

When we arrived on site at a major south coast hoRiello Multi Sentry 40kVA with external battery box installationspital, we found that the existing 10 year old 40kVA APC UPS had completely failed - not even into internal bypass but completely failed and had dropped the load.

This UPS ran the NHS Primary Care Trust's datacentre for an entire county and it was now running on a temporary raw mains supply - we knew that this needed to be sorted out quickly.

After giving the customer a decent quote - not inflated due to their circumstances - we went about arranging all the necessary equipment and engineers - Riello Multi Sentry MST40 with 15 minutes external battery cabinet, battery build and DC cabling / isolators and a 125A 3 phase maintenance bypass switch.

This was all delivered the same day and our engineers arrived to install the bypass switch, hook up the UPS, battery build and commission.

The live load was on the new installation within the required time frame and a load test on the actual load was carried out there and then.

The old unit and batteries were loaded up and recycled.
