“The dual-mode system controller isolates the power generation system and allows the system to run flawlessly during outages.” — Cuit Sandoval, Sales Manager, Capstone Turbine Corporation The 20 natural-gas fueled microturbine system drives a chilled water absorption chiller that produces 400 refrigeration tons (RT) that provides air-conditioning to the four-level department store. Units are fueled by utility natural gas at about 75 psi. The system includes a group of backup compressors used when the utility only is able to provide low-pressure natural gas. “It was important that the microturbines generate power needed during power outages,” Sandoval said. “The dual-mode system controller isolates the power generation system and allows the system to run flawlessly during outages.” The department store’s system includes integrated heat exchangers installed on each microturbine that capture waste heat energy naturally produced when the microturbines run. The heat exchangers then supply the heat energy to the absorption chiller, which uses the thermal energy to produce a cool water feed to the building’s air-conditioning system. The result: consistent building temperatures regardless of outside temperatures. Each heat exchanger’s compact size and low noise emissions make them an ideal fit for the project. The C65s are covered by a Capstone Factory Protection Plan that includes scheduled and non- scheduled maintenance to keep the units continuously available. Mexico is ranked 11th in the world for high carbon emissions. Installing a low-emission and reliable power system was a key requirement of facility owners. Additionally in 2012, the Mexican legislature passed one of the world’s strictest climate-change laws. It mandates that companies reduce carbon dioxide emissions 30 percent by 2020, and 50 percent below 2000 levels by 2050. The law stipulates that 35 percent of the country’s electricity come from renewable sources by 2024. With the Capstone microturbines, the progressive retailer is poised to meet the country’s requirements today and in the future. “Registered as a clean company, the complex’s emissions and noise levels are audited twice a year,” Sandoval said. “The microturbines have allowed them to fully comply with the regulations.” “Mexico’s climate bill reflects a global trend for countries to be proactive as they address climate change and environmental concerns,” Sandoval said. “As a well-regarded department store, it was important that the Capstone microturbines deliver ultra- low emissions and help the store continue its long-standing commitment to be responsible stewards of the environment.” Twenty Capstone C65 microturbines produce 40 percent of the electrical power needed to operate a department store in Monterrey, Mexico. 21211 Nordhoff Street • Chatsworth • CA • 91311 • 866.422.7786 • 818.734.5300 • www.capstoneturbine.com ©2013 Capstone Turbine Corporation.
