Ready to Run

Most GLOBAL CP generators are offered complete with:

·     Lockable Stainless Steel CP Interface Enclosure.

·     Volt/ammeter.

·     Output terminal block accommodating AWG 00 conductors to GP circuit.

·     Variable slide resistor for current control.

·     Operating and maintenance instruction manuals.

Perhaps most importantly, there is no need for batteries. TEG's operate continuously, and are equipped to re-ignite automatically in the event of fuel interruption. No backup or reserve is required. Battery dependent systems can be effective, of course, but the cost implications of purchasing, sheltering, and periodically replacing batteries should be a part of any alternative power study.

Analysis of specific system proposals usually shows that both initial costs and system lifetime costs are significantly lower with GLOBAL's Model 1120 is approved for hazardous locations meeting Class I Division I and Division II, Group D Atmosphere and T3 temperature code specifications. This model is certified by the Canadian Standards Association and by Factory Mutual Research Corporation. This is the ideal model for offshore applications when restricted by safety requirements and space limitations.

Hazardous Approved: GLOBAL also offers thermoelectric generators approved for hazardous areas. GLOBAL's Model 1120 is approved for hazardous locations meeting Class 1 Division I and Division II, Group D Atmosphere and T3 temperature code specifications. This model is certified by the Canadian Standards Association and by Factory Mutual Research Corporation. This is the ideal model for offshore applications when restricted by safety requirements and space limitations.

Low Maintenance: Preventative maintenance consists of cleaning or replacing a fuel filter and fuel orifice once per year. Maintenance is performed on site in a few hours, with basic hand tools and mechanical skills.

Wire Operating Temperature: Operation in ambient temperatures from -77°F (-65°C to +150°F (+65°C). No rainfall, snowfall, or wind limitations apply, except that the generator must not be flooded or inundated.

Complete Accessories: GLOBAL has all the necessary accessories for a complete power generating system using thermoelectric generators; stands, propane tanks and hoses, gas depressurization systems, DC to DC converts, batteries and equipment shelters.

Larger Systems: Thermoelectric generators can be combined to meet high power requirements. These systems may combine multiple generator models electrically connected in series or parallel. Systems have been designed and installed providing over 3.0 kvA.

Economic Advantages: The true cost of a cathodic protection system includes not only the initial purchase and installation costs, but also the cost of supervising and operating the system, and the periodic replacement of failed or consumed components, such as anodes and batteries. A GLOBAL thermoelectric powered system can be cost effective in all areas. No supervision is required, and the preventive maintenance interval scan be up to one year.

Fuel consumption is minimal. For example, a GLOBAL generator can impress 10 amps continuously into a 1 ohm ground bed at 10 volts, and consume just 1100 U.S. gallons of LPG or 114 MCF of natural gas per year.
