C250 & C370 Capstone plans to uprate the performance of the C200 unit to offer a new product – the C250 – that will produce an additional 50kW of power. The electronics updates and improvements to engine components will raise the fuel efficiency of the turbine from 33 percent to 35 percent. This uprating will allow Capstone to manufacture the C1000 product with four C250 microturbines instead of the five C200 microturbines needed now, providing for a signficant component cost-savings when producing only four units per C1000 instead of five. Alternatively, Capstone will be able to offer a C1250 using five C250 turbines, offering only a nominal price increase to the current production cost of the C1000 while providing an extra 250kW of power. The development of Capstone’s C250 product is part of a cost-sharing program with the Department of Energy. Additional to the use of the C250 in a C1000 or C1250 configuration is the intended deployment of the C370, Capstone’s latest innovation in progress. The low-pressure C250 spool will combine with a second spool, similar to an aircraft engine. This will allow a higher pressure ratio, affording a higher efficiency and a higher power-density when compared to other units with the same power output. Not content to simply innovate a product based on compactness and cost-savings, the C370 is also projected to have an efficiency nearing 42 percent, one of the highest in the industry. Though being among the highest efficiencies around is a feat where some companies might rest easy, Capstone also has the option of coupling the C370 with the 2010-acquired Organic Rankine Cycle Clean Cycle, boosting overall efficiency to a stunning 52 percent. The thermodynamic cycle for the proposed C370 will utilize both a high pressure and a low pressure spool, as well as a dual property high temperature turbine. NEW PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT Capstone is constantly focused on innovating new products and looking towards the future. Cost Share programs such as those with the Department of Energy allow Capstone to consistently be on the cutting-edge of the power generation industry.
