5.4.1.2. Outdoor Installations
Install the microturbine in a manner such that prevailing winds will carry engine exhaust
away from the air intake. See Figure 22.
The microturbine should be located away from polluted atmosphere acidic fumes,
digester contaminated air, all forms of dust (e.g. cement dust, stone dust, etc.), cotton
fibers, furnace chemicals, etc., whenever possible.
It is recommended that a wall be constructed to protect the microturbine from wind-borne
contaminants.

5.4.1.3. Extreme Cold Environment Installations
For extreme cold applications (less than 20 °C/-4 °F), unit(s) must be installed in a closed room
and adhere to recommendations listed in Indoor Installations (paragraph 5.4.1.1).
To maintain proper room temperature, install temperature-controlled louvers.
Room heating may be needed to maintain the required inlet temperature limits.
Black-start considerations: Microturbines may experience cold soak in temperatures
below the low limit. Catalytic heaters can use the pressurized microturbine fuel to heat
the room and microturbine before the engine starts.
Consider installing a separation wall with louvered or removable sections to allow
recirculation of hot air to the inlet side of the microturbine when ambient temperatures
are colder in the microturbine room.
