17 Preservation, Installation, and Documentation
17.1 General Description
This chapter describes preservation, general installation requirements, and project
documentation.
17.2 Preservation
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
17.3 Site 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.
17.4 Mechanical Installation Requirements
17.4.1 Mounting
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.
