| * Emissions meet 2007 California Air Resources Board standards. ** Operating range from -20° to 113°F (-29° to 45°C) at up to 492ft (150m). *** Overall efficiency as given assumes full thermal utilization. **** All given characteristics are for a natural gas application, unless otherwise noted. Maximum allowable levels for natural gas components are documented separately in the PureCellŽ Model 400 Data and Applications Guide. ADG applications require an additional gas processing unit. ***** Gauge pressure. §Available heat at rated power. Low-grade heat assumes a return temperature of 80°F (27°C); high-grade heat assumes a return temperature up to 230°F (110°C). If high-grade heat is utilized, the remaining value will be available as low-grade heat. |
