2 Taurus 60 Gas Turbine Mechanical Drive

2.1General Description

The Taurus 60 gas turbine mechanical drive package is completely integrated and fully operational, equipped with the accessories and auxiliary systems required for operation. In addition to the standard package features, a wide array of optional equipment is available to meet customers’ installation and operation requirements. The driver package can be combined with one or more Solar centrifugal gas compressors to form a complete compressor set (see section 4) or it can be used to drive other manufacturers’ gas compressors or pumps (see section 5). Designed specifically for industrial service, Taurus 60 packages are compact, lightweight units requiring minimal floor space for installation. Proven packaging designs greatly reduce installation costs, time, materials, and labor. Figure 1 shows a side view of a typical Taurus 60 Mechanical Drive package.

2.2Package Description

The Taurus 60 gas turbine package is installed on a steel base frame referred to as the skid. The skid is a structural steel assembly with beam sections and cross members welded together to form a rigid foundation. Drip pans are included to collect any potential liquid leakage. Package connection points for fuel, lube oil, air, and water are located on the outer edge of the skid. Electrical connections are made in on-skid junction boxes. Machined mounting surfaces on the base frame facilitate component alignment. Major Components and Systems
