Capstone Turbine Corporation MicroTurbine Userís Manual Preventive Maintenance Capstone Preventive maintenance activities for the MicroTurbine Inlet Filter, External Fuel Filter, and for the Battery Pack are presented in the following paragraphs. MicroTurbine Inlet Air Filter The engine air inlet filter should be inspected periodically to ensure unrestricted flow of clean combustion and cooling air to the generator and turbine engine. The recommended interval for this inspection is every 8,000 hours of operation or annually, based on clean environment operation. Outdoor operation, especially in areas subject to wind and airborne dirt or dust, will require a significant reduction in this interval. Extreme conditions may require that the engine air inlet filter be inspected and changed more frequently. There are two different types of inlet air filters used on the MicroTurbine. Models using a cotton fiber filter can be cleaned and reused; other models use a disposable paper filter. Cleaning or replacement of the inlet air filter is only to be performed by a Capstone Authorized Service Provider or other qualified individual. External Fuel Filter The optional external fuel filter element should be replaced periodically to ensure unrestricted flow of clean fuel to the MicroTurbine. This is necessary for MicroTurbine optimal performance. The recommended interval for this replacement is every 8,000 hours of operation, or annually. The service interval is based on typical clean fuel supplies found in the United States. Liquid fuels may require more frequent maintenance. If specifically permitted by the Capstone Authorized Service Provider, the end user can replace the external fuel filter element. The Capstone Authorized Service Provider will provide instruction and oversight. Battery Pack If the MicroTurbine is equipped with a battery, a Battery Isolation Switch is included. The isolation switch should be set to OFF and the battery cable disconnected if the MicroTurbine is to be serviced or transported, or if the MicroTurbine will not be operated for a period of greater than two weeks. The battery pack is a lead acid type, completely sealed, and maintenance free. The battery pack should be fully charged prior to storage and charged again prior to being put back into service.
