Capstone Turbine Corporation • 21211 Nordhoff Street • Chatsworth • CA 91311 • USA Application Guide: C30 and C60 Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) Application Information for Capstone Safety-related Design Considerations Capstone suggests that the following safety items be considered during any design efforts. Proper safety considerations will lead to an efficient and safe design application. High Temperatures The surface temperature of the MicroTurbine can reach 288 °C (550 °F). Care must be taken to prevent people or inappropriate materials from coming into contact with the MicroTurbine. Do not remove or cover high temperature warning labels on the MicroTurbine components. The exhaust stream and piping can reach 315 °C (600 °F) under extreme conditions. Route, guard, and label exhaust piping to prevent people from coming into contact with the piping or exhaust stream. Keep flammable materials clear of the exhaust pipe and exhaust stream. The MicroTurbine radiates 1400 watts at full load. Electrical cables and harnesses must not be attached to hot surfaces or to fuel lines. Additionally, electrical cables and harnesses must not contact sharp surfaces or protruding objects. High Voltages The MicroTurbine installation designer must consider that the system produces and stores electricity at levels that can burn, injure, or kill. Connection wiring and isolation switches must be properly sized and installed per manufacturer recommendations. The MicroTurbine system components must be mounted and connected as recommended herein. Warning labels on the MicroTurbine system components must remain visible to technicians after installation. Capstone strongly recommends the provision of lockout devices to prevent energization of circuits during maintenance procedures. Flammable Fuels Fuel storage and delivery systems should be designed in consideration of the highly flammable nature of the fuel. The MicroTurbine fuel handling components must be installed as specified in this Application Guide. The turbine air inlet must be free of fuel-carrying components, and all fuel lines must be physically kept from contacting the MicroTurbine or other hot surfaces. In addition, fuel lines must not contact any sharp edges or protruding objects, and electrical cables and harnesses must not be attached to fuel lines. The OEM/Integrator should seek assistance from a third party if the engineering efforts connected with fuel storage and fuel filling is beyond his/her scope of expertise. 480009-001 Rev B (October 2004) Page 40 of 54 This information is proprietary to Capstone Turbine Corporation.
