DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE SUBJECT

(15) With reference to the drawings as shown, the present utility model refers to a CONSTRUCTION DEVICE INTRODUCED INTO AN ELECTRICAL POWER PLANT MODULE, more specifically relating to an electrical power plant module (1) of the type used for accessibility to electrical energy, primarily in remote areas such as isolated rural communities, mining camps, oil platforms, areas recently affected by storms, areas affected by earthquakes, offshore platforms, etc., or areas undergoing conflict. The said power plant module (1) is supplied in the form of enclosures or 20-foot or 40-foot containers (2) of the ISO maritime type.

(16) According to the present utility model, the enclosure or container (2) that constitutes the electrical power plant module (1) includes a structural container (2A) having a flat base (2b) upon which are installed structural columns (C1) and crossmembers (T2) for the mounting of plates (cp) that form the peripheral walls (20) and the upper wall (20) of the container (2A), with the end walls (2C1) of the container (2A) providing at least one cut-out area (2c2) for the installation of a tilting door (3) designed for the superolateral expulsion of hot air (AR) from the radiator (R). The said tilting door (3) is installed in the respective cut-out area (2c2) by means of hinged closures (4) or other articulated and/or tilting closures, which closures (4) in turn are secured to the lower edge (3a) of the door (3) in such a way that when the door (3) is tilted outward from the container, with an angulation (?), it forms a gas conduit (CG) in order to direct the air (AR) toward the superolateral portion of the structural container (2A).

(17) The tilting doors (3) that are installed in the lateral extreme portions (2C1) of the container (2A) are arranged in the substations (SB) of the power plant module (1) in such a way that they are aligned longitudinally with corresponding cooling units (UR) that are located on the inside and at the end in relation to the transformer/distribution unit (UT).

(18) In the preferred embodiment (as shown in FIG. 1 through FIG. 5), the tilting door (3) includes a single piece (3b) having a U-shaped cross-section formed by a front plate (3c) whose peripheral form is identical to the form of the cut-out area (2c2) in the lateral walls (2C1), with the lateral edges (3d) of the plate (3c) developing V-shaped peripheral walls (3e) whose upper edges (3e1) are slightly arched.

(19) In the first version of the arrangement of the tilting doors (3) of the container (2A) (as shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4), both of the lateral walls (2C1) have a pair of central columns (C1) that define a pair of parallel areas (p1) and (p2), each of which includes a cut-out area (2c2) whose length (z) consists of one-half of the overall length (z1) of the wall (2C1) of the container (2A). Each cut-out area (2c2) receives respective tilting doors (3) constituting a pair of gas conduits (CG) with an angulation (?).

(20) In a second version of the arrangement of the tilting doors (3) of the container (2A) (as shown in FIG. 7 through FIG. 10), the areas (p1) of both of the lateral walls (2C1) have a reduced width (x1) in relation to the width (x2) of the area (p2), in which, in turn, a cut-out area (2c2) is present that is approximately ? of the overall length (y2) of the wall (2C1), so as to form a single gas conduit (CG') with an angulation (?).

(21) In a third version of the arrangement of the tilting doors (3) of the container (2A) (as shown in FIG. 11 through FIG. 15), the areas (p1) of both of the lateral walls (2C1) also have a reduced width (x1) in relation to the width (x2) of the area (p2), with a cut-out area (2c2) that is approximately ? of the overall length (y2) of the wall (2C1), so as to form a single gas conduit (CG) with an angulation (?).

(22) The power plant module offers significant advantages in comparison with the documents contained in the state of the art, perfectly fitting the criteria that define a utility model, in that it implements a combination and modification of existing known elements in a way that presents a new form or arrangement, resulting in a functional improvement in the use or manufacture of those elements.

(23) The preferred embodiment of the present utility model has been described, with the proviso that any changes and/or alterations should be understood as lying within the scope of the utility model as presented.
