28 Jun Carrier – MICROSTEAM® POWER SYSTEM Opening a New Market for Energy Recovery and On-Site Power Generation

In today’s unpredictable and sometimes volatile world energy market, district energy operators are
continually challenged to find new ways to contain their costs and maximize their resources in order to
deliver reliable, economical, efficient and environmentally sound energy services.
Forward-thinking facility operators of healthcare and educational campuses that have steam boilers or steam
services with pressure reducing valves (PRVs) are now realizing that they have a significant opportunity to
generate their own electricity through the use of the new generation of the Microsteam power system. By
doing so, they will take advantage of an available but often under-utilized resource, contribute to their
electric power peak shaving efforts, improve their energy security, and implement a strategy that will
help them meet their long-term energy needs.

THE UNIQUE MICROSTEAM POWER SYSTEM
The unique vertical Microsteam power system design targets applications up to 275 kW per unit of
electrical production with a 4,000 to 20,000 lb/hr steam load. Multiple Microsteam power systems can
be combined in parallel to deliver megawatts (mW) of electrical energy to satisfy the largest of commercial
power needs. The physical arrangement of the Microsteam power system consists of a top mounted,
high-speed, high efficiency Euler dual-pressure turbine connected to a planetary gear, which in turn is
connected to an induction generator This package design addresses the space limitations and reliability
requirements of commercial applications; provides operational simplicity with single button start-up and
shutdown; meets the sound criteria of equipment rooms; and delivers the performance requirements for
a 2 to 5 year payback investment.For a detailed brochure click link Microsteam Power System White Paper
