exhaust systems for generators and standby power units
Hospitals, care facilities, emergency services, data centers, government buildings and many other critical infrastructures rely on a secure and uninterrupted power supply. A reliable emergency power supply is therefore essential. Generators and standby power units ensure that a continuous power supply is guaranteed even in an emergency, and that the facility can operate independently of the power grid.
The hot exhaust gases produced during power generation by combustion engines require safe and controlled exhaust gas venting. However, a suitable exhaust system not only ensures safe exhaust gas venting - a correctly dimensioned exhaust system also stabilizes engine performance, ensures a longer service life for components, and optimizes fuel consumption.

Schiedel Norway was selected as a proud supplier for a highly critical phase in the vessel’s life: its significant upgrade and 12-meter extension. This comprehensive rebuild was initiated in close cooperation with the shipyard, Vard, and became necessary after the original construction faced severe technical challenges and stability issues that threatened the full functionality required for its complex research operations. Schiedel was specifically tasked with designing and supplying the complete exhaust system for the vessel's powerful generators. Our mission was not merely to replace components, but to contribute a fundamental solution that would finally allow this world-class research and expedition vessel to meet its stringent performance and structural requirements - and ultimately achieve seaworthiness.

Supply and installation of 22 stainless steel system chimneys with a supporting mast for the energy centre. The mast and chimneys had to be lowered by crane through an opening in the roof of the building. This meant that the plan needed to come together for the supply and erection of the chimneys on the mast sections, to be delivered to site in full and on time to tie in with the crane hire.

As part of this project, Schiedel designed custom planning for a major telecom provider in the Netherlands to integrate a new emergency power generator with noise attenuation into a building with limited space. The client, one of the largest telecom and data providers, opted for a more powerful generator. Schiedel solved the dual challenge of lack of space and strict noise standards with smart engineering and acoustic measures.

Schiedel implemented a range of flue gas, baking vapor, and cooling air ducts for an international producer of exclusive pasta and bakery products. This project was essential to the success of a new production line, where high standards for food safety and operational efficiency were paramount. Sustainability was equally central to the mission. The work was completed exactly as intended.

To ensure uninterrupted backup power for Gartnavel General Hospital, the project involved the delivery and installation of four 450 mm diameter chimneys. These chimneys supply the generators and were connected to the containerized engine rooms via a tailor-made frame construction. This clever design allowed the horizontal pipes to be stacked in proper, parallel pairs. This precise arrangement was maintained right up to the main building. From there, the chimneys continued horizontally before making a decisive vertical curve to finally reach an impressive height of 40 meters.

Supply and Installation of 6 x Ø500 System Chimneys serving FG Wilson Gen Sets providing back up power to the Hospital. The exhausts needed to run horizontally above the entrance to the hotel before rising vertically to reach the roof of the energy centre, from where a further extended horizontal run was required with support before turning into th e main vertical runs supported from the existing concrete stack.

We supplied and installed five ICS 5000 Ø350 system chimneys to serve the backup generator sets at the Research Centre. A key challenge was to minimize their visual impact on the building's aesthetics. To achieve this, the framework and outer casing of the chimneys were soda blasted, a process that allowed them to blend seamlessly with the surrounding structure, ensuring both functionality and visual harmony with the existing architecture.

This project involved the construction and installation of three freestanding chimneys, each around 14 meters high and with a large cross-section. These were supplied and installed by a specialist partner to supply three generators in a large data center in the Hauts-de-France region. The chimneys connected to the units were manufactured using our ICS 5000 system with a cross-section of 400 mm.

The project involved the construction of a new public school building located in Morbihan, Brittany, designed according to the latest dictates of energy-efficient construction and plant engineering and intended to accommodate more than 800 students. The new facility, with a modern and bright design, boasts the presence of more than 500 square meters of solar panels on the roofs, a perfectly insulated building envelope, and an efficient heating system through a mixed gas and biomass combustion power plant.

The installation was to take place at a well-known industrial site in the Bologna area, specializing in the constructionand luxury outfitting of motor vehicles, motorhomes, caravans, as well as boats and yachts in the marine & offshore sector. The project involved the replacement of an old, dated and deteriorated self-supporting chimney with a new modular double-wall insulated stainless steel chimney system, slaved to a large capacity boiler for the production of hot water used in the plant's production processes.

Located in a prime central Milan neighborhood, this project delivered a new executive and office headquarters for one of Italy's foremost telecommunications leaders. The client, a pioneer in fiber optic technology, maintains a telephony and data network that spans the entire nation. The new headquarters was designed to integrate a comprehensive suite of advanced technological systems. These included state-of-the-art heating, ventilation, and air conditioning, robust emergency power generation, and sophisticated fire suppression systems to ensure maximum operational safety and efficiency.
