The 200-kilowatt C200S microturbine incorporates numerous system
and design upgrades intended to improve overall product quality,
reliability, and performance. The new product enhances the
microturbine ownership experience, especially for combined heat and
power (CHP) and combined cooling, heat and power (CCHP)
applications.
A few of the new key upgrades include:
- Integrated Heat Recovery for CHP and CCHP
Applications – The integrated heat recovery module
dramatically simplifies product installation, serviceability and
overall operation in CHP and CCHP applications. The integrated heat
recovery module provides recoverable heat energy driving total
system efficiency levels in excess of 80 percent.
- Two-Stage Air Filtration System – The first
stage offers coarse particulate filtration without the need to shut
down the unit or open the enclosure door to perform filter
inspection or service. The second internal stage offers improved
engine filter longevity and pressure drop monitoring to increase
the time between service intervals and assist with the scheduling
of service visits.
- Improved Enclosure – The reinforced enclosure
frame has been modernized and features a lower acoustics signature
for CHP and CCHP installations in sensitive urban environments. In
addition, it has an increased load carrying capacity for auxiliary
equipment. The redesigned, double-walled engine bay door is
sturdier and easier to seal.
- Relocated Engine Exhaust Stack – The
combustion exhaust port has been relocated to the roof of the
enclosure to match the design of the other larger products in
Capstone’s Signature Series line. This allows for ease of
installation and integration of a heat recovery module for CHP and
CCHP applications.
- Redesigned Discharge for Enclosure Cooling Air
– The enclosure incorporates a new rear louver design allowing
package cooling air to discharge without the need for an add-on
rain hood. This updated approach further reduces the installed
footprint of the enclosure, which is critical for building
retrofits, without compromising rain protection.
“We remain focused on diversifying our business by increasing
our revenue from the CHP and CCHP energy efficiency markets with a
short-term goal of 40% energy efficiency, 40% oil and gas and 20%
renewables and other market verticals,” said Darren Jamison,
Capstone’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “The new C200
Signature Series product further supports this strategic effort,
and the new roof mounted integrated CHP heat recovery modules
designed specifically for our Signature Series product will add
additional revenue growth as it did in the most recent quarter when
the company added approximately $0.5 million of new Signature
Series accessory revenue,” added Mr. Jamison.
“The global success of Capstone’s Signature Series microturbines
has helped to propel the company into a new age of power generation
technology,” said Jim Crouse, Capstone’s Executive Vice President
of Sales and Marketing. “Our customers are now experiencing a new
level of quality, reliability, and performance with our new
complete line of Signature Series products,” added Mr. Crouse.
