| Q: |
 |
Why use the T100
CHP? |
|
|
| A: |
|
It keeps electricity costs low and,
because it has few moving parts, it requires little
maintenance and is extremely reliable. It runs quietly
and produces minimal emissions. It is also light,
requires little space and is easy to install. |
|
 |
| Q: |
|
Can the T100 CHP run at part-load
and, if so, how will it affect electrical efficiency? |
|
| |
| A: |
|
Yes, it can be modulated down to
50 % (50 kWe) of rated output and keep a high electrical
efficiency. |
|
| |
| Q: |
|
What is a recuperator and why
is it an important part of the T100 CHP? |
|
| |
| A: |
|
A recuperator is an air-to-air heat
exchanger. It uses heat from the exhaust gases to
preheat the compressed air prior to combustion.
Preheating improves electrical efficiency substantially.
|
|
| |
| Q: |
|
Where will the T100
CHP be used? |
|
| |
| A: |
|
Any place where there is a need for
heat is a good location for it. Because it produces
such low levels of harmful emissions, it can be
used in areas where other types of equipment will
be prohibited for environmental reasons. |
|
| |
| Q: |
|
How many years will
the T100 CHP last? |
|
| |
| A: |
|
It is designed to run for 60,000
hours. Therefore, if you run it for 6000 hours per
year (and follow the maintenance instructions),
it will last ten years. |
|
| |
| Q: |
|
Which fuels can
a microturbine run on? |
|
| |
| A: |
|
It can run on a large variety of
fuels such as natural gas, diesel and propane. It
can also run on recoverable gases such as sewage
gas, landfill gas and mine gas. |
