Overview: The document provides technical specifications and features of the C30 MicroTurbine by Capstone Turbine Corporation, designed for clean and reliable power generation using various liquid fuels.
Exhaust Characteristics: The turbine emits NOx at less than 35 ppmvd at 15% O2, with a NOx/Electrical Output of 0.846 g/bhp-hr. The exhaust gas flow is 0.31 kg/s at a temperature of 275˚C.
Electrical Performance: The turbine delivers an electrical power output of 29 kW with a voltage range of 400 to 480 VAC. It supports both grid-connected and standalone operations with frequencies of 50/60 Hz and 10/60 Hz, respectively. The maximum output current is 46A for grid connection and 54A for standalone operation. The electrical efficiency is 25% LHV.
Fuel/Engine Characteristics: The turbine operates on various liquid fuels, including diesel, bio-diesel, aviation fuels, and kerosene. The fuel flow is 418 MJ/hr, and the generator heat rate is 13.4 MJ/kWh.
Design and Maintenance: The C30 MicroTurbine features a single moving part for minimal maintenance, a patented air bearing system, and remote monitoring capabilities. It offers low NOx and CO2 emissions and comes with factory protection plans.
Physical Specifications: The dimensions are 762 x 1524 x 1956 mm, with weights of 405 kg for the grid connect model and 578 kg for the dual mode model. Minimum clearance requirements are specified for installation.
Sound Levels: Acoustic emissions are nominally 65 dBA at full load power measured at 10 meters.
Certifications: Models are available with optional equipment for CE Marking.
