Clean and Quiet Standby Power in the City

FDL Generators, in cooperation with Bradgate Containers have just finalized the manufacture and installation of a 900 kVA standby generator for the IT department of the University Of London.

The local council however insisted on a dramatic reduction in exhaust emissions and this was achieved by the fitting of a Urea injection system from Hug Engineering. This must be one of the "cleanest" sets in London having reduced the carbon emissions by 98% and, with a noise level of only 65dBA at 1 metre, one of the quietest.

The installation of the standby generator is part of the University of London Computer Centre's (ULCC) ongoing commitment to providing leading edge hosting solutions for its customers. With a state of the art data centre already in place, the standby generator enhances the range of security features of the suite by ensuring all aspects of the data centre remain available, including the air conditioning, in the event of the suite losing power.

The benefits of the new standby generator are available with all its co-location, managed, and virtual server hosting packages. These enhancements, when combined with its not-for-profit pricing model, make ULCC one of the most cost effective hosting providers in the market today.
