Mackwoods Energy was selected to supply and install 28 Air Cooled Power Generators at all Northern Line railway stations from Medawachchiya to Kankesanthurai creating history. The Northern Line railway stations will now have prime as well as standby MACKPOWER power generators to maintain the railway signalling systems, safety lighting, warning systems etc. thereby helping to avert any disasters.
The new railway line and 28 stations are expected to be fully completed and vested with the public by the Government this year. The railway stations to be fully powered by Mackwoods Energy are, Anuradhapura, Paras-angaswewa, Cheddikulam, Madu Road, Muukkan, Mannar, Pessalei, Tallei Mannar, Vavuniya, Thandikullam, Omanthei, Killinochi, Puliyakulam, Mankulam, Murankandy, Oyamadu, Settikulam, Medawachchiya, Para-nthan, Pallei, Elephant Pass, Kodikaman, Chawakachcheri, Jaffna, Kondawilli, Chunnakkam and Kankesanthurai.
All the power generators selected were Air Cooled and underwent extensive tests and trials for reliability, low breakdown time, low and easy maintenance, low capex, fuel efficiency and high power output.
The MACKPOWER - Kirloskar EA and HA series 5kva-70kva Air-Cooled diesel generator sets are the most powerful hassle-free, low maintenance power generator launched and extensively tested by Mackwoods Energy. It features a fully loaded power panel that is the main control centre for the generator. The power panel can carry out functions including automatic start/stop, data measure and alarm protected. These units are ISO certified and emissions conform to US Tier I and II norms, and CPCI.
Due to no water cooling system the related problems are reduced by nearly 30% compared with Water-Cooled engines as air cooling eliminates the need for a water holding radiator, water pump, water pipes running through the engine thus reducing it in size and weight. With industrial exhaust muffler and the well-fabricated sound attenuating canopy, the sound level of these generators could be reduced to as much as 72 dBA while running at full load and drops down to 68 dBA while idle control is engaged with no load for quiet operation.
MACKPOWER - Kirloskar EA and HA Air Cooled series diesel gensets are designed to help you stay safe and secure during any type of power outages, expected or unexpected. These power gensets are ideal for any application where reliable continuous or standby power is needed especially in remote or isolated operations, dry zone or in areas where there is a lack or scarcity of water. The EA and HA series introduction was a classic case study of Mackwoods Energy understanding what its customer’s needs were and introducing a solution and taking the extra step to have it thoroughly tested in actual critical operations under rugged conditions with the defence forces of Sri Lanka.
Today, over 1,100 Air Cooled Gensets are operating in Sri Lanka with the defence forces, telecommunication and railway sector.
