First-time attendee, Turner Engine Powered Services (Turner EPS), official UK distributor for Capstone, will exhibit a Capstone C30 (30 kWe) microturbine on its stand.
The company explained: “Capstone Turbine Corporation is the world’s leading producer of low-emission microturbine systems, and was first to market with commercially viable air bearing turbine technology. These award-winning systems have logged millions of documented runtime operating hours.” Among the key benefits of Capstone microturbines are:
• ‘Extremely low’ downtime – with average uptime of ‘98-99 per cent’.
• Capstone turbines have just one moving part – the turbine generator shaft bearing (an air bearing, requiring no oil or maintenance).
• Only six hours of planned maintenance annually.
• ‘Very low’ emissions – ‘less than 10% of those from an internal combustion engine’.
Turner EPS added: “In hospital applications, an on-site, Capstonepowered CHP system is far more fuelefficient and environmentally beneficial than utility power and boiler heating, and can dramatically cut monthly power bills.”
