1.2Overview

This document describes product features and provides turbomachinery package specifications for Taurus 60 compressor sets and mechanical drives. Presented within this booklet are basic package configurations, ancillary descriptions, installation requirements, and a list of customer support services available at the time of publication. Please note that changes in equipment, service descriptions, and specifications may occur without prior notice.

1.3Terminology

In describing different package configurations, Solar uses the term “Mechanical Drive” to cover the gas turbine packaged on a skid with all the required accessory equipment required for operation. The term “Compressor Set” is used when the mechanical drive package is combined with a Solar gas compressor packaged on its own skid. Compressor Sets are fully integrated packages, although the driver and driven packages may be shipped separately for logistical reasons. When the mechanical drive is provided for use with a third party’s driven equipment, typically either a gas compressor or a pump, Solar will work with the driven equipment supplier to ensure that the two packages are properly interfaced. Control and monitoring of the driven equipment is usually in Solar’s scope of supply and will be integrated into the Turbotronic control system.
