Overview: The document provides technical specifications and performance details for the C65 and C65-ICHP MicroTurbines by Capstone Turbine Corporation, designed for clean and efficient power generation using natural gas.
Exhaust Characteristics: Both models emit less than 5 ppmvd NOx at 15% O2. The NOx emissions per electrical output are less than 0.28 lb/MWh, and per electrical and thermal output, less than 0.10 lb/MWh.
Electrical Performance: The turbines deliver an electrical power output of 65 kW with a voltage range of 400 to 480 VAC. They support both grid-connected and standalone operations with frequencies of 50/60 Hz and 10/60 Hz, respectively. The electrical efficiency is 29% LHV.
Fuel/Engine Characteristics: The turbines operate on natural gas with an HHV of 825 to 1,275 BTU/scf and require an inlet pressure of 75-80 psig. The fuel flow is 765,000 BTU/hr LHV.
Heat Recovery: The C65-ICHP model includes an integrated heat recovery module, offering hot water heat recovery of 408,000 BTU/hr with a total system efficiency of 82% LHV.
Design and Maintenance: The turbines feature a single moving part for minimal maintenance, patented air bearings eliminating the need for lubricating oil or coolant, and remote monitoring capabilities. They are designed for easy installation with a small, modular design.
Certifications: The turbines are certified to UL 2200 and UL 1741 for natural gas operation and comply with IEEE 1547, California Rule 21, and New York State Public Service Commission requirements. They also have MEA approval for New York City.
Dimensions and Weight: The C65 model measures 762 x 1956 x 1931 mm and weighs 758 kg for the grid connect model. The C65-ICHP model is slightly larger and heavier.
Sound Levels: Acoustic emissions at full load power are 70 dBA for the C65 and 65 dBA for the C65-ICHP at 10 meters.
Performance vs. Ambient Temperature: The document includes a graph showing the relationship between net power and efficiency against ambient temperature at sea level, indicating performance variations with temperature changes.
