1 Introduction
1.1 General Description
Solar Turbines Incorporated is a worldwide leader in the design, manufacture, and
installation of industrial gas turbines. Solar's 40 years of experience integrating high
technology with fluid compression, liquid pumping, power generation, and cogeneration
applications has resulted in more than 12,500 gas turbine installations in 93 countries
around the world. Solar gas turbine packages have logged more than 1.3 billion operating

complete packaged systems that require a minimum of site preparation prior to
installation.
Taurus 70 compressor sets and mechanical drives represent years of intensive
engineering and manufacturing design. Solar gas turbines are manufactured to rigid
industrial standards and are thoroughly tested in modern facilities. Solar's operations are
certified by Det Norske Veritas (DNV) to conform to International Standardization
Organization (ISO) 9001:2000 Standard for Quality Management Systems.
1.2 Overview
This document describes product features and provides turbomachinery package
specifications for Taurus 70 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.
1.3 Terminology
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.
