AEG Power Solutions (AEG PS) recently announced that it has been chosen by Petronash and another major EPC in two separate contracts, and will secure the power supply for gas process skids in harsh environments. With North American headquarters located in Houston, Texas, AEG PS is a provider of power electronic systems and solutions for industrial power supplies and renewable energy applications.
To meet the challenges of these harsh environments, AEG PS designed a solution based on its Protect RCS, 24TPRe150 battery charger, housed in a custom-designed 316L stainless steel cabinet. A custom-designed passive cooling system for the cabinet enables it to cope with the elevated ambient temperatures.
The AEG PS equipment must be housed outdoors in an atmosphere containing significant levels of highly corrosive hydrogen sulphide (H2S) gas, and must cope with the ambient temperatures of up to 56°C experienced in the desert. The solution also requires a high IP65 ingress rating.
