5.4. Ventilation
Proper ventilation of the air inlet and exhaust are critical to microturbine performance and
longevity. Microturbines require a large amount of air for both engine combustion and enclosure
cooling.
Airflow paths are shown in Figure 21. There are two separate air inlets in the
C1000S/C800S/C600S microturbine, one for engine combustion air, and one for cooling of
internal modules — electronics, fuel skids, etc. The Capstone microturbine exhaust also consists
of two components, the combustion air exhaust and the enclosure/electronics exhaust.
