Capstone Turbine Corporation • 21211 Nordhoff Street • Chatsworth • CA 91311 • USA Application Guide: Offshore/Coastal Systems – Hazardous and Non-hazardous Installations Fuel Preparation Usually the fuel for this application is wellhead gas, but in some cases it may not meet specifications listed in the MicroTurbine Fuel Requirements Technical Reference (410002). Refer to this document for details about fuel preparation. The fuel must be clean and dry, with dew point suppression. Filters, dryers, drains and tanks may be necessary to meet the fuel specification. Exhaust The MicroTurbine comes with an exhaust flapper. This flapper is used primarily for shipping. If a flapper is considered appropriate for the installation, it should be swapped for a stainless steel version. The exhaust may be ducted to a heat exchanger or other device or extended ducting. Keep in mind that whatever termination is used must prevent wind-driven rain or other water from entering while the MicroTurbine is not running. Vertical terminations of at least 1.2 m (4 feet) in length, with exhaust exit pointing down may be acceptable. Exhaust duct must be properly secured. The primary requirement for any ducting is that the maximum backpressure on the engine cannot be more than 20.3 cm (8 inch) H2O. Stainless steel is recommended for all exhaust ducting in saline environments. Also insulation is recommended in the exhaust duct if part of it will be inside a room or in areas around personnel walk paths. Capstone does not sell exhaust ducting.

High power AC connections are made in the left bay and communications are made in the right bay. In order to make the connections watertight and explosion proof, special connectors are required. The electrical bulkhead plate does not have any pre-punched holes. A dimple has been added that is lined up with the high power connection. Punch all necessary holes in the plate and terminate the wires in the User Connection Bay. The use of separate conduits and twisted-pair shielded wire is important to keep the low power signals clean. Refer to the Electrical Installation Technical Reference (410009) for all the electrical installation details, including many example schematics.
