Today we see rapid developments in technology, new legislation increasing the pressure to reduce emissions whilst \at the same time budgets either reducing or failing to keep pace with increasing costs and requirements The HTM (Health Technical Memoranda) have been in place for many years and are regularly reviewed and up dated. The pace of technological and legislative change can though leave some aspects of the HTM’s looking a little left behind. This presentation considers just three areas of how the standby generation part of HMT-06 has been left behind and hence how it could be quickly updated.
This presentation will look at
• Setting the scene
• Emissions
o Medium Combustion Plant Directive and local requirements
o Catalytic Converters
o Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF)
o Selective Catalytic Convertors
• How newer and cleaner engines change this landscape set in the context of
o Rating / sizing of generating sets
o First set load acceptance
o The various types of load used in a modern healthcare setting
• Resetting the dial on site testing of generating sets
• Aligning HTM’s directly with ISO and other standards
