Control block (E-house)

The enclosure is a factory fabricated metallic
module engineered as a portable structure,
totally self-supporting from the base
Pre-installed, pre-wired subsystems and factory
tested
The Control Block can be mounted and anchored
on a concrete floor, on steel beams or on
pedestals
For indoor or outdoor installation with tilted
roof

HVAC (heating, ventilation and AC unit) I

No AC units placed at rough conditions outside the control block
No AC units to be assembled, connected and tested on site
Functionality of HVAC is consolidated into an industrial heavy-duty
solution
Two HVAC units for redundancy
Ambient temperature range is increased
Continuous filtering of air through filters
No need of air-lock system
No leakage and condensation on critical components
Heating implemented and controlled by HVAC unit itself

HVAC (heating, ventilation and AC unit) II

Cooling air circulates in a closed-loop through an HVAC unit with
up to 6’600 m3/h capacity
Air-flow through each cabinet is increasing the efficiency
– Flow through each panel is individually adjusted as per the
equipment’s requirements
– Heat is taken away right at its origin
Heat dissipated into the common raw water circuit of the
cycloconverter

Fire-fighting system
Fire-fighting split in “detection” and “extinction”
functions
Concentration of smoke particles is
continuously monitored by Very Early Smoke
Detection Apparatus (VESDA)
Extinguishing agent will not imply immediately
danger on human health as the oxygen
concentration after releasing is designed to be
above 10%
Status feedback hardwired to GMD control
system (800xA) as well as plant’s central fire
point for reduced maintenance and trouble
shooting time
Closed loop air circulation speeds up effect of
detection and of extinction for higher safety
