5.1. Mounting
5.1.1. Foundation
The microturbine must be mounted on a foundation that will provide the best support, protection,
and service access. Foundation considerations include:
The foundation must support the total weight of the system, which includes the
microturbine, accessories, piping, cables, ventilation, and support structures.
The foundation must also support the weight of any service personnel, service
equipment, and microturbine components that are removed or replaced during
maintenance and repair. Refer to Table 9 for component weights.
The foundation must provide enough space for service and repair of the microturbine.
The foundation must have proper drainage to protect the unit against moisture that can
occur from seepage.
The foundation must address wind loading and seismic requirements.
Place the system on a firm level surface that has no more than a two per cent (≤ 2%) grade, and
sufficient drainage to prevent standing water. A concrete foundation with anchored mounting bolts
is recommended. The concrete foundation must be built to specified overall flatness and levelness
value of FF50/FL33 and local minimum value of FF25/FL17. Refer to American Concrete Institute
(ACI) specification 302 for further details. Design the foundation to support a minimum 276 kPag
(40 psig) of force.
