Capstone Turbine Corporation (CPST) will begin shipping an enhanced line of 65-kilowatt microturbine models next month that will replace its C60 series of power and heat generators.
“Reflective of our commitment to continuously improve our product performance, I’m very pleased to announce that effective January 2006, the Capstone C60 microturbine will be replaced by the C65, with an installed output of 65 kilowatts, 29% electrical efficiency, and NOx emissions of less than 5 parts per million,” said Capstone CEO John R. Tucker. “This approximate 8.5% increase in electrical output, 4% increase in efficiency, and a 45% reduction in NOx output, is reflective of our continuing engineering effort to provide our customers with the best distributed generation product available.”
The new natural gas fueled C65 and C65-ICHP, with factory-integrated heat recovery, will deliver higher electrical and thermal output without any change to the product’s weight and dimensions.
Capstone will also introduce a variation of the 65-kilowatt machine which uses waste flare gases from landfills or sewage treatment plants as fuel to create renewable energy. The new CR65 – the “R” for renewable – will be available with an optional stainless steel integrated heat exchanger.
