Overspeed—The generator should tolerate 25% overspeed for 10 seconds without damage. Overspeed protection should activate at 20% over maximum rated synchronous speed. Engine Cooling System—Defines cooling water temperature limit under specified conditions of antifreeze content, ambient temperature, elevation and radiator air-flow restriction. Engine Air Cleaner—Defines type and performance requirements for engine air cleaners. 4.3 ASME B133.6, Gas Turbine Ratings and Performance This standard was originally developed to provide a performance rating system for installation sites that do not have sufficient data on ambient conditions to use the manufacturer’s ratings. Because it was last updated in 1994, it does not currently apply to the microturbine products commercially available today. 4.4 NFPA 37, Standard for the Installation and Use of Stationary Combustion Engines and Gas Turbines (1998) NFPA 37 concerns the installation of engines for stationary power. NFPA 99 references NFPA 37 in the text and NFPA 110 references it in the appendix. Textual references make the standard mandatory. Appendix references are for information only. The International Mechanical Code (IMC) also references NFPA 37 for engines powering equipment and appliances. Chapter 2 gives requirements for mounting, locating, and housing engines. Persons quoting generator sets requiring conformity with NFPA 37 should be aware of Par. 3-3.1(b) and (f). These often overlooked clauses requires lubricating oil over temperature shutdown (b) or indication (f) for engines over 100 horsepower. Chapter 5 is the reference for liquid-fueled engine fuel tank and daytank installations. This chapter gives some details, such as a table for day tank steel thickness, but frequently references NFPA 30, Flammable and Combustible Liquids Code. Chapter 4 does the same thing for gas-fueled engines and references NFPA 54, National Fuel Gas Code and NFPA 58, Standard for Storage and Handling of Liquefied Petroleum Gases. Chapter 6 covers exhaust piping and chimneys. It gives details for safe exhaust piping routing and installation. Examples are material of wrought iron or steel and drains for low points in the line. For chimneys, the standard references NFPA 211, Standard for Chimneys, Fireplaces, Vents and Solid Fuel Burning Appliances. NFPA 37 has only seven pages of text but be especially aware of Chapter 10, Mandatory Referenced Publications. It lists some 13 additional standards that must be reviewed for each installation. 4.5PDF Image | PNNL 13277
