2.2. Storage
If your C1000S/C800S/C600S microturbine must be stored for a period of time, the following
precautions for storage and removal from storage will help to minimize corrosion and
deterioration. The C1000S/C800S/C600S microturbine can be stored without any preparation,
provided that the units are placed in an environment that meets the environmental operating
conditions defined in the C1000S Product Specification (Table 1). Follow the storage instructions
defined in C1000S Series Microturbine Standard Maintenance Schedule and Procedures
(Table 1).
2.2.1. Basic Storage Requirements (Up to 6 Months)
Keep the system as dry as possible. Prevent moisture from entering the protective
packaging. Desiccants are provided inside the enclosure to reduce humidity while in
storage.
Batteries should be ordered separately from the system, and thus can have easy access
to be maintained. Refer to Battery Maintenance in C1000S Series Microturbine Standard
Maintenance Schedule and Procedures (Table 1).
Store the system at temperature between -40 °C (-40 °F) and 65 °C (149 °F), and at
relative humidity of 40 percent or less, if possible.
2.2.2. Extended Storage Requirements (Longer than 6 Months)
Perform the tasks listed under Basic Storage Requirements above.
If the unit will be in long term storage before use, the microturbine must be ordered
without the batteries. The batteries, ordered separately, will be shipped in time for
commissioning. Refer to the Main Battery Replacement - Capstone Model C200/C1000
Series (Table 1) to install the batteries.
For maintenance tasks during extended storage, carefully remove original
packaging/crating. Do not destroy or discard packaging materials. Reinstall packaging
between maintenance activities while system is in storage. Intake and exhaust sealing
caps for desiccant MUST remain installed during storage, except as necessary to
replace desiccant.
If storage time will extend beyond six months, replace desiccant and perform manual
engine rotation check at the beginning of extended storage time. Refer to Desiccant Kit
Replacement Work Instruction (Table 1) and Locked Rotor Identification Work Instruction
(Table 1).
Replace desiccant and perform manual engine rotation check every 12 months and any
time intake and exhaust sealing caps are removed. Refer to Desiccant Kit Replacement
Work Instruction (Table 1) and Locked Rotor Identification Work Instruction (Table 1).
Keep system as dry as possible. Prevent moisture from entering protective packaging.
In high humidity conditions (greater than 60 percent relative humidity continuous long
term), consult with local commercial water damage prevention and remediation providers
to prepare/preserve system(s) for high humidity conditions.
