About MicroTurbine (Our Product)

Through product excellence, Capstone has achieved a predominant leadership position in MicroTurbines worldwide. Capstone MicroTurbines are small gas turbines for production of power (and heating or cooling if needed), which come in ratings between 30 KW to 1000 KW.

Unique features of Capstone MicroTurbine

Capstone MicroTurbines have got many unique advantages, some of which are:

1.       They offer eight “9”s of reliability (Availability Factor of 99.999999%)- one of the highest in the industry.

2.       They run in a completely “dry” mode – neither lube oil nor coolants are needed at all.

3.       There is only one moving part, therefore, the maintenance requirement is minimal – they can easily be installed in remote, un-manned environments.

4.       They can be designed to run on different fuels- liquid fuels such as diesel, kerosene, etc or gases such LNG, propane or biogas.

5.       They are virtually vibration free and do not need any elaborate foundations.

6.       They can be installed indoors or outdoors – no separate power house is needed.

7.       They have one of the lowest noise levels and emission levels in the industry.

8.       They are complete “power plants” in themselves and hardly any additional electrical protection or metering is needed.

9.       They have a very high tolerance to phase imbalance or single phasing – each phase can be loaded from almost “0” to 100% independent of the other phases.

10.   They can be easily installed and commissioned – all in the space of a few hours if the front is ready.

 Various Model

      There are 3 basic models C30, C65 and C200. The model number specifies the power output in ISO conditions. For example, a C200 model shall deliver a power output of 200 Kw under ISO Conditions and at site conditions, would deliver a reduced power output (say around 160-170 Kwe depending on the site conditions). The C200 can be offered in modular package in terms of C600, C800 & C100 which consist of 3, 4 and 5 nos of C200 packages in a standard ISO container.
