17 Preservation, Installation, and Documentation

17.1General Description

This chapter describes preservation, general installation requirements, and project documentation.

17.2Preservation

Long term and short term preservation can be provided for the engine and package. The type of preservation required dependents upon the following:

•Type of transportation (sea, air, or truck)

•Climatic conditions during transport and storage

•Storage period

•Storage facilities

•Static and dynamic loads imposed during shipment

Long-term preservation is required if:

•Equipment will be stored in an unimproved storage area for greater than 90 days before installation

•Transportation is by ship

•Transportation includes transshipment (package will go from truck to barge to truck, etc., e.g., rigorous loads will be encountered during shipment)

•Package will be exposed to severe weather conditions during transport

Short-term preservation is required if:

•Equipment will be stored in an improved storage area for less than 90 days before installation

•Transportation is not by ship

•Transportation does not include transshipment (package will not go from truck to barge to truck, etc., e.g., rigorous loads will not be encountered during shipment)

•Package will not be exposed to severe weather conditions during transport

17.3Site Requirements

Solar's gas turbine generator sets require minimal site preparation. The Titan 250 generator set is supplied with self-contained systems for starting, fuel, lube oil, and control, minimum piping and wiring connections are required for installation. All service connections are conveniently located on the outer edge of the skid.

17.4Mechanical Installation Requirements

17.4.1Mounting

Correct mounting of the gas turbine package is vital to successful package installation and requires adequate preparation by the user. The site pad thickness is governed by soil condition and the weight of the gas turbine package, air inlet system, and exhaust system. Mounting pad locations and weights will differ with each package, depending upon selected options, and will be clearly shown on the installation drawings. The equipment layout should provide adequate floor space for major components with sufficient room around the package for routine maintenance access.
