December 7, 2005—Capstone Turbine Corporation, a leading manufacturer of microturbine energy systems, has announced that it will soon begin shipping an enhanced line of 65-kilowatt microturbine models that will replace its popular C60 series of power and heat generators.
“Reflective of our commitment to continuously improve our product performance, I’m very pleased to announce that effective January 2006, the Capstone C60 microturbine will be replaced by the C65, with an installed output of 65 kilowatts, 29% electrical efficiency, and NOx emissions of less than 5 parts per million,” said Capstone CEO John R. Tucker. “This approximate 8.5% increase in electrical output, 4% increase in efficiency, and a 45% reduction in NOx output, is reflective of our continuing engineering effort to provide our customers with the best distributed generation product available.”
The new natural gas fueled C65 and C65-ICHP (with factory-integrated heat recovery) will deliver higher electrical and thermal output without any change to the product’s weight and dimensions, which are much lighter and more compact than similar capacity generators. This reduces footprint requirements and enables greater flexibility in indoor, outdoor and rooftop siting.
