5.2. Orientation
Orientation is an important element of site design. Items to consider are as follows:
When installing multiple systems, place microturbines such that the exhausted engine
and electronics air does not get ingested into the air intake of a nearby microturbine, as
this will de-rate power output. See Figure 15 through Figure 17 for layout examples.
HOT AREA: When microturbines are oriented per Figure 15, the temperature at
the enclosure exhausts between microturbines can exceed 66 °C (150 °F).
To prevent injury, when replacing/servicing an engine in one bay, shut down all
bays in both enclosures that are oriented in this way.
Ideally, the inlet will face away from dirty areas — areas containing atmospheric
pollutants such as acidic fumes, cement dust, stone dust, cotton fibers, furnace
chemicals, etc.
Microturbines consuming air heated above the local ambient temperature may produce
less power due to de-rating.
