The Calpwr Capstone Inlet Cooler cools the turbine inlet air which increases net electrical power output and overall fuel efficiency. The cooler enclosure is fabricated from 430 stainless steel with primary fittings constructed of PVC eliminating unsightly rust or corrosion. Its efficient design cools the inlet air to within 4% of ambient wet bulb temperature with a nominal inlet pressure drop of .03 ” of W.C.


Key Features and Benefits:

• Increases Microturbine efficiency up to 26.9%
• Cools microturbine increasing mean time between failure (MTBF)
• Cools Unit Electronics increasing MTBF
• Automatic fill
• Long run pump feature
• Nominal O&M cost
• Installed by customer or Calpwr staff
• Same unit fits both C-30 and C-60 modles
• Continuous duty design
• Optional Turbine controlled stop/start
• Light Top Unit construction keeps most weight in base unit
• Automatic overflow
• 120 vac 60 Hz 5 gpm circulating pump
• Simple hook up - unit requires only 115 vac electrical connection, less than 60 psi     potable water source, and access to floor drain
