Capstone Turbine Corporation • 21211 Nordhoff Street • Chatsworth • CA 91311 • USA Technical Reference: Capstone MicroTurbine Fuel Requirements Fuel Supply Pressure and Temperature Requirements Allowable fuel temperatures and required fuel pressures at full power for each Capstone MicroTurbine product are provided in their respective Product Specification. Besides these temperature and pressure levels, other considerations must be made to ensure steady and reliable MicroTurbine operation. For all gaseous-fueled Capstone MicroTurbine products, the inlet pressure must remain steady during normal operation. The fuel inlet pressure should not vary more than 1 psig per second during steady state operation or changes in load, otherwise nuisance flameouts may occur. Furthermore, continuous and steady operation of MicroTurbines at low load conditions may necessitate a reduction in the fuel pressure from full power levels for reliable operation. In some cases, the fuel inlet pressure required for steady state operation is also a function of the fuel type. For example, high energy fuels, like propane, may require a reduction of the inlet pressure if the MicroTurbine was originally designed for a different fuel, such as natural gas. Consult Capstone Applications for further information on these subjects. Maximum allowable fuel temperatures for a Capstone MicroTurbine are dependant on the product, and are provided in the applicable Product Specification; however, the minimum required fuel temperature is often dependant upon the fuel type. For a gaseous-fueled MicroTurbine, the fuel system must remain free of any liquid condensate for all ambient temperatures and MicroTurbine operating conditions. The temperature at which condensate begins to form in the fuel, at the required MicroTurbine inlet pressure, is considered the dew point temperature of the fuel. All gaseous fuels must remain a minimum of 10 °C (18 °F) above the dew point temperature, or 0°C (32 °F), whichever is higher, throughout the fuel system of the MicroTurbine to minimize condensate related issues. 410002 Rev G (October 2009) Page 10 of 18 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 | Technical Reference Capstone MicroTurbine Fuel Requirements
