If you have visited the Victoria and Albert Museum in London recently you may have seen their new Concierge Stations, offering hot chocolate and Indian-inspired snacks to visitors. What you might not know is that they are Victron Energy powered.
The stations were designed as mobile units that can be moved as and where required; providing unique hot refreshments without the need to connect directly to the mains. Victron Energy distributor, Energy Solutions got involved in the project when the fabricator of the units, Random Products in Brighton, called on their electrical system design skills to help them specify and supply the electrical components to power the hot drink and food warmer.
Specifications
The technical sales team at Energy Solutions liaised with Random to establish the exact needs of the units. The final specification and system design features:
- 24V Lithium 200AH battery pack
- Phoenix 24V 25 Amp battery charger
- BMV 700 battery monitor, ancillary equipment including fuses
Conclusion
Already the unit has proved a great success and it is hoped more will be in production this year.
It’s great to see innovative use of Victron Energy products and many thanks to Energy Solutions for the information and images used in this blog.
