Generator couplings from VULKAN Couplings have always been the first choice for highly flexible coupling of diesel motors with generators. Capacity utilisation in terms of performance and duty cycle is usually high in stationary diesel power plants and CHPs, so the couplings also need to be extremely reliable and offer a long service life. Container and emergency generators and mobile sites, however, are operated on a temporary basis; they are used when the public grid fails or where failure of the grid would have grave consequences, for example in hospitals, chemical plants, server rooms and, last but not least, in nuclear power stations where the generators would ensure decay heat is removed in the event of disconnection or failure of the power grid.
