Capstone Turbine Corporation • 21211 Nordhoff Street • Chatsworth • CA 91311 • USA Technical Reference: Capstone MicroTurbine Fuel Requirements Combustion System Evaluation Concerns The combustion system evaluation concerns include the items presented in the following paragraphs. Stability Limits The fuel type may affect the stability of the combustion system. Fuels highly diluted with inert items (as well as different liquid fuels), may have degraded stability at low power levels. For liquid fuels, atomization, which is highly dependent on fuel physical properties, has a significant effect on stability. Flashback Fuels containing significant amounts of hydrogen and acetylene may result in flashback and combustion system damage. Combustor Life Operating on fuels containing significant amounts of carbon monoxide and acetylene will result in reduced combustor life due to high combustor temperatures. Liquid fuels with poor atomization qualities will also result in reduced combustor life. Emissions Some fuels will have inherently higher emissions levels. Liquid fuel systems will generally have higher NOx levels than natural gas systems. Landfill and digester fuels may have lower NOx levels, as well as higher CO and THC levels at full power. Fuels containing significant amounts of carbon monoxide and acetylene will also result in higher NOx emissions. For liquid fuels, atomization, which is highly dependent on fuel physical properties, also has a significant effect on emissions. Vapor Lock Liquid fuels with sufficiently high vapor pressures will cause vapor lock in the fuel injectors, resulting in decreased system reliability due to flame-outs, fail-to-light conditions, or unsteady MicroTurbine operation. 410002-001 Rev A (DRAFT) Page 19 of 31 This information is proprietary to Capstone Turbine Corporation.
