Capstone Turbine Corporation • 21211 Nordhoff Street • Chatsworth • CA 91311 • USA Technical Reference: Liquid Fuel System Technical Information – Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) Priming Valve Installation A priming valve should be installed between the boost pump (if installed) and the fuel pump inlet to ensure that no air pockets exist before fuel enters the fuel system. This valve can be manual or solenoid driven – depending on the level of automation desired, and should be located less than 0.3 meter from the fuel pump inlet. NOTE Priming will ensure system start reliability. The system must be primed before initial operation or if the customer fuel supply has been depleted. Perform the following steps to complete the installation: 1. Connect priming valve to container to catch fuel during priming process. 2. Install site glass to view condition of fuel exiting the priming valve for system quality. Priming Valve location (required) Perform the following steps to manually prime the system: 1. Open the priming valve. Fuel Pump (typically mounted on fuel tray) NOTE: Verify all unused filter ports are plugged to prevent fuel spillage. 2. Turn the boost pump ON (Capstone boost pump or customer-provided). 3. Wait for fuel to exit the priming valve. 4. Cycle (open/close) the priming valve several times to purge remaining air from the lines between the fuel tank and the fuel pump inlet. Drain Tank Installation If the (optional) Capstone drain tank is purchased, the drain tank mounting location must be installed below the height of the recuperator and at a distance no more than 10 feet (max.) from drain valve. In addition, the customer must supply attaching fuel lines and fittings. Recommended hose and fitting size parameters are: • Inlet and outlet fittings – 1/4-inch male SAE, 37° flare • Recommended hose size – 3/8-inch diameter 410029-001 Rev A (April 2003) Page 6 of 11 This information is proprietary to Capstone Turbine Corporation.
