LANL Diesel Generator
LANL Diesel Generator
Client: Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL)
Location: Los Alamos, New Mexico
LEI provided design for new safety class diesel generator(s) and support systems required to provide back up power to the electric fire pumps including housekeeping pads, automatic transfer switches, conduit runs, supports, trench details, diesel fuel storage tank(s), engine cooling system(s), PC-3 calculations, etc. as required.
Design includes NQA-1, safety class diesel generator(s), 60 minute fuel supply, automatic transfer switches, engine cooling systems, and other support systems as required to provide backup power to the electric fire pumps.
LEI performed Power Studies (Short Circuit, Voltage Drop, Overcurrent Coordination, and Arc Flash) using SKM Power Tools software. LEI sized the engine generator using commercial software. LEI has verified and validated both of these software programs with hand calculations
This work was Quality Affecting and was performed in accordance with the LEI Quality Assurance (QA) Program. This QA Program was previously approved when LEI was placed on the LANS Institutional Evaluation Subcontractors List. LEI’s QA Program meets all applicable requirements of DOE O 414.1C, Quality Assurance, as required in the LANS Statement of Work. This QA Program, coupled with our previous experience with the LANL configuration management requirements, ensures proper configuration control and records management.
