Capstone Capstone Turbine Corporation Model C1000 User’s Manual Patented air bearings eliminate the need for oil or other liquid lubricants. Air-cooled design of the entire system (turbine and controller) eliminates the need for liquid coolants. Each 200 kW MicroTurbine engine has only one moving part: no gears, belts, or turbine-driven accessories. Advanced combustion control eliminates the need for ceramics or for other costly materials or for catalytic combustion, and provides ultra-low emissions. The integral annular recuperator (heat exchanger) doubles electrical efficiency. Digital control technology facilitates advanced control and Ethernet monitoring, with diagnostic capabilities, both on-board and remotely. MicroTurbine Engine (or Turbogenerator) Each 200 kW power module within the C1000 series package is an integrated MicroTurbine generator that includes the combustion turbine (made up of a compressor, combustor, turbine, generator, and a recuperator) and the associated power electronics, control, and fuel system components required for power generation. The rotating components are mounted on a single shaft supported by patented air bearings and spin at a maximum speed of 60,000 RPM. The permanent magnet generator is air cooled. To prevent inlet temperature rise, this cooling air is not ingested into the engine. The output of the generator is variable voltage, variable frequency AC. The generator is also used as a motor during start-up and cooldown cycles. Digital Controllers Each 200 kW power module in the C1000 MicroTurbine has a local engine controller that works in unison with the controllers on the other modules to deliver the power output command issued by the C1000 unit controller. The power output command delivered to each power module is determined by the C1000 controller based on total power required, number of operating units, thermal priorities, engine run times and maximizing efficiency. The Power modules connect to the C1000 unit controller by means of Ethernet and serial communication buses. The power module’s digital power electronics control the operation of the module’s system and its subsystems. The digital power electronics change the variable frequency AC power from the generator to DC voltage, and then to constant frequency AC current. During start up, the digital power electronics operate as a variable frequency drive, and motor the generator until the power module has reached ignition and power is available from the MicroTurbine. The digital power electronics again operate as a drive during cooldown to remove heat stored in the recuperator and within the engine in order to protect the system components. Air Bearings The MicroTurbine uses gas foil bearings (air bearings) for high reliability, low maintenance, and safe operation. This allows fewer parts and the absence of any liquid lubrication to support the rotating group. When the MicroTurbine is in operation, a gas film separates the shaft from the bearings and protects them from wear. 400024 Rev A (April 2009) Page 17 of 62 Capstone reserves the right to change or modify, without notice, the design, specifications, and/or contents of this document without incurring any obligation either with respect to equipment previously sold or in the process of construction.PDF Image | Capstone MicroTurbine C1000 Series User's Manual
