Figure 13. Generator-to-Plenum Seal (Model C60 shown) Cooling Air Filtration and Ducting to Controllers The OEM/Integrator is responsible for providing air filtration, routing, and ducting for the cooling air for the electronic controllers. Cooling Air Requirements for each controller: ♦ Air Flow: 250 Standard Cubic Feet per Minute (scfm) for Model C60 BCM ♦ Air Flow: 250 Standard Cubic Feet per Minute (scfm) for Model C60 ECM. ♦ Air Flow: 460 Standard Cubic Feet per Minute (scfm) for Model C30 DPC. ♦ Air Filtration: Coarse air filter to reduce dust, moisture and foreign object debris. ♦ Maximum Pressure Drop from Ambient: 0.5 inch of water column. ♦ Inlet air temperature needs to be within 2 °C of engine air inlet temperature. Each controller contains power electronics, which produce up to 2300 watts and 800 watts of heat at full power for the ECM and BCM respectively, and up to 2000 watts for the DPC. Cooling airflow is required to dissipate this heat and prevent overheating of controllers. The controllers include their own internal air management with fans and vents, but do not include external ducting or connections. Installation of the controllers must consider airflow paths both into the controller fans and away from the controller vents. The design must also prevent recirculation of cooling air from exit to inlet and from controller to controller. A coarse air filter can be used to filter large particles and provide protection from water and debris. Use caution not to insert a filter that will cause a pressure drop that exceeds requirements. Pressure drop from ambient conditions to the controller inlet is critical to controller performance and overall system performance. A maximum restriction of airflow with a dirty air filter should be calculated and should not exceed the required limit. Capstone recommends that a dirty air filter be calculated as though one-half of its surface area is blocked. As part of a regular maintenance schedule, the filter should be cleaned, and the controllers should be opened and compressed air should be used to blow any accumulation off the control boards and other components. 480009-001 Rev B (October 2004) Page 30 of 54 This information is proprietary to Capstone Turbine Corporation.
