Capstone Turbine Corporationn21211 Nordhoff StreetnChatsworthnCA 91311 Application Guide: Hot Water CHP Use with the Capstone MicroTurbine The friction loss from Figure 1 must be adjusted for exhaust temperature over 90°F, where a hotter exhaust actually decreases friction losses: H f , actual = H f Kd where Kd =460+°F 530 Using couplings and bends will also result in higher friction losses. The increased friction can be expressed in equivalent lengths of additional ducting. Please see Table 2 below to understand how much additional duct length is required to accurately represent your system. Table 2 – Additional duct length resulting from each accessory Le, additional ft Duct 90° smooth elbow, 90° smooth 90° elbow, diameter, in r/D=0.5 elbow, r/D=0.75 r/D=1.0 90° miter elbow 5 19 10 7 27 8 30 15 11 43 Duct Connection Exhaust ducting should be connected in a male-to-female style in the direction of gas flow, as shown in Figure 3 below. This will reduce the likelihood of exhaust gas escaping from the interface. gas flow Figure 3 – Suggested male-to-female duct interface Use 5” and 8” pipe clamps to ensure a tight fit between ducts. Using additional high temperature RTV gasket sealant will ensure that gas does not leak, but it will also bond the ducts and create substantial labor if the ducts have to be disconnected. Gasket sealant must be rated to at least 1,000°F to ensure that it does not degrade and leak over time. Duct Manifolding When multiple microturbines force their exhaust into a common duct or heat recovery device, there will be exhaust pressure greater than the ambient pressure seen at the microturbine inlet. Therefore, if one of microturbines is not operating while the other(s) are, some of the exhaust from the operating microturbine(s) can flow back into the non- Applications Guide - Hot Water.doc Page 9 of 16 April 19, 2002PDF Image | Capstone App Guide CHP
