5. Mechanical Installation
Mechanical installation involves proper site location with regard to ventilation, mounting, service
clearances, ducting, piping, and ambient temperature and humidity. Items to consider include:
Warranty and FPP policies for removal or replacement have been calculated based on the
service areas specified on the O&I drawings. When those areas are violated, the
customer, even under warranty, may be required to pay for the additional time required to
service the system.
Service clearances specified in the C1000S, C800S, or C600S O&I Drawing (Table 1) do
not account for equipment maneuverability to and from the service area.
Special equipment (engine removal tool, forklift, etc.) may be needed for large component
removal — engine, GCM, LCM, and battery packs, for example — adequate room for the
equipment and personnel to lift the equipment out is required.
Provide doorway and passageway access — width and height — sufficient to allow
movement of components and service equipment. Access requirements in mechanical
codes are dependent upon equipment type, size, and power.
Provide sufficient working space around electrical equipment, as defined by applicable
codes.
Allow enough room for socket wrenches on all external panel fasteners — room for power
drivers is preferred. This is especially important when the corners of the enclosure are in
close proximity to other units or heat exchangers or walls or support structure.
Always consider fuel and water lines, pipe supports, conduit runs, and any other structural
items that may interfere with door access or service clearances. These items, especially
pipe supports for exhaust ducting, tend to be the last installed and can easily be
overlooked when establishing service clearances around the microturbine.
Surface temperature of the microturbine exterior, especially the upper external surfaces
and exhaust pipe. Allow sufficient clearance to avoid injury to personnel or damage to
other equipment.
The rear of the microturbine should be easily accessible with a fork lift or engine removal
tool to allow engine removal during overhauls.
