Cat® Diesel Generators Keep Hospital Running During Hurricane Ida

Louisiana Cat® helped ensure Children’s Hospital New Orleans had sufficient backup power with the addition of four new Cat C32 generator sets and upgrades to two of the hospital’s existing four 3508 generator sets. To avoid any disruption to surgeries and services, the hospital switched over to its backup diesel generator sets prior to Hurricane Ida and maintained uninterrupted power before and after the storm.

OSF St. Francis Medical Center Relies on Cat® Backup Generators for 24/7 Patient Care

When a blown transformer resulted in an emergency power loss at OSF St. Francis Medical Center, three Cat® 32 generator sets powered the 10-building campus until the utility feed was restored, more than a month later. If the center experiences an outage, the Cat generators start up within 10 seconds to provide campus-wide power.

St. Luke’s Hospital Maintains Critical Power with Cat® Backup Generators

When Cedar Rapids’ grid power was knocked during a powerful derecho in August 2020, St. Luke’s operated for two days solely on backup power from its 4.5 MW standby power plant consisting of three Cat® 3512 diesel generator sets.
