Both devices have potential drawbacks. Both technologies are tank heating devices that require tank insulation to reduce heat loss to the atmosphere. If a tank is refilled with cold LP Gas, the microturbine will be temporarily offline until the tank heats up to the required temperature. Problems encountered to date: 1. The Capstone electronic control system had a component failure two days after starting the system. Capstone replaced the entire system with a newer production model. 2. The filter on the vaporiser plugged after 200 hours of operation and had to be replaced. Photos courtesy of Superior Gas Plants All the turbine manufacturers contacted in the course of this study were interested in more information on the LP Gas market. Several mentioned that if such information were available, they would accelerate LP Gas product development. Problems encountered at the sites were often related to inadequate gas pressure at the inlet to the Capstone side of the fuel system. As larger microturbines (60-80 kW) come into the market, this problem is likely to worsen because larger units require additional gas pressure. The development of a relatively inexpensive and reliable method of LP Gas vaporization across a broad range of ambient conditions will be key to the long-term success of microturbines operating on LP Gas. Furthermore, the development of an affordable compressor than can switch relatively seamlessly between NG and LP Gas is likely to be well received by microturbine manufacturers as well as by other dual fuel equipment manufacturers. 22PDF Image | Glotec Global Technology Network LP Gas Use in Microturbine Applications
