Capstone Turbine Corporation • 21211 Nordhoff Street • Chatsworth • CA 91311 • USA Capstone Gas Pack: User’s Manual PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The Gas Pack (see Figure 1) is a variable-speed drive device that serves to boost the inlet supply pressure of low pressure natural gas. The Gas Pack compresses pipe line quality natural gas from a low-pressure source and delivers pressurized fuel gas to the fuel system of a Capstone Model C60/C65 Natural Gas MicroTurbine, also referred to as C60/C65, MicroTurbine or MT in this document. The Gas Pack can provide high-pressure fuel gas for up to two MicroTurbines using separate outlet Fuel Train assemblies which include 75 psig regulators with pressure gauges. The Gas Pack, MT(s) and interface kit(s) can be configured for either a single or dual MT set. The optional Gas Pack Inlet Kit interfaces the low pressure natural gas supply to the Gas Pack inlet. If the user chooses to use their own plumbing for inlet and high-pressure outlet, care must taken to ensure the high-pressure fuel delivered to the MicroTurbines is a steady 75 to 80 psig. The Gas Pack operates external to the C60/C65 enclosure, but is integrated by physical attachment to the rear of the C60/C65 enclosure. The Gas Pack performs its intended functions through electrical power, start/stop, and general fault communication connections. Two versions of the Gas Pack are offered: the AC version, fed by local utility 480 V, three- phase AC; and the DC version, fed by the MT 760 Volt DC power connection located at the back of the MicroTurbine. This DC power is fed from the Gas Pack-attached MT High Voltage DC Bus Bay via weathertight conduit directly to the Gas Pack. Several Gas Pack configurations are available from Capstone to meet different application requirements. Both external AC and internal DC power versions are offered. The Gas Packs are provided as “kits” that include the required mounting hardware and a fuel outlet kit to connect to the MicroTurbine (MT) that the Gas Pack is mounted on. For some applications, a “skirt” is provided as part of the kit to protect the gas lines under the Gas Pack and to provide mounting space for a natural gas detector when local building regulations require it (these Gas Packs are designed for use with MTs having an internal gas pressure regulator – consult factory or your authorized Capstone distributor, if needed, to confirm which type of MTs are installed at a specific site). Several optional accessories are also offered to simplify gas connections. These include two fuel inlet kits; one using a gas flame arrestor manufactured by Lisk, and a second one using a Protego brand flame arrestor. The Protego brand flame arrestor is certified to meet CE (European Conformity) requirements. A fuel outlet kit for a second MT is also offered, and allows one Gas Pack to provide fuel to two MTs. This second MT fuel outlet kit option is not useable with MTs having an internal gas pressure regulator. Installers can provide their own fuel inlet connections to the Gas Pack, and also can provide their own fuel connections to a second MT. However, they must ensure that the second MT has fuel inlet pressure between 75 and 80 psig by providing a suitable regulator and pressure gauge in their plumbing. NOTE The Gas Pack Assembly (without the optional inlet and outlet fuel kits) weighs about 420 pounds. Use appropriate equipment when positioning or moving the Gas Pack. 400012 Rev A (August 2007) Page 6 of 16 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 GAS PACK USER’S MANUAL
