“Exhaust gas from the running turbines is collected and goes into an absorption chiller,” Lehne said. “That chiller has a closed water loop through it, which chills and gives us cold water for our air-conditioning system. Some turbines have a hot water loop on them, which give us heat for our buildings as well.” The direct exhaust-fired absorption chillers capture thermal energy from the microturbines to provide 387 tons of refrigeration for cooling the Library and Pavilion. That cooling comes in handy for keeping the full-size replica of the White House Oval Office authentic. The Oval Office was kept cool for President Reagan, who never took off his suit jacket while in this storied room. Since the system was installed in 2005, it has had 24/7 availability and required only routine filter changes for maintenance. “The turbines have only one moving part and air bearings,” explains Darren Jamison, Capstone President and CEO. “There’s no oil, no anti-freeze. So it’s a highly reliable, simple design.” Turbines are very fuel flexible. The Library’s system runs on natural gas, which has a much lower impact on the environment than traditional fuels. “A lot of people didn’t know about this type of system when we first installed it,” Lehne said. “A lot of people still don’t know about microturbines. But we’ve had the system three years and it gives us the efficiency we were looking for.” He added that the system meets expectations in all areas. “It provides power for the full campus and is clean burning,” he said. “Overall we are pleased with the performance of the turbines, the efficiency of their electricity-generating capabilities, and the hot water they provide to the facility.” Sixteen Capstone C60 microturbines running on natural gas provide electricity for the Air Force One Pavillion. 21211 Nordhoff Street • Chatsworth • CA • 91311 • 866.422.7786 • 818.734.5300 • www.capstoneturbine.com ©2011 Capstone Turbine Corporation.
