A minimum 5 PSI of pressure must be maintained on the discharge side of
either turbine. Maintaining this downstream pressure significantly reduces shaft
thrust loads transmitted to the generator bearings. Discharging the turbine
to atmospheric conditions can prematurely wear the bearings and lead to
mechanical failure.
CAUTION: Discharge pressure must be equal to or greater than 5 PSI to
avoid mechanical failure.
CAUTION: Water must be kept from entering the generator at all times.
If water enters the generator it can damage the bearings and lead to
premature failure.
3.4.2 MHC2500 Control Panel
The MHC2500 control panel is the brain of the M300 pico hydro system.
The user interface on the control panel provides information including system
power output, battery voltage, and state of charge. If necessary this panel
can be used to evaluate operating conditions and change control settings or
setpoints. An explanation of the charge theory and a complete list of system
menus/options with explanations are located in the appendix.
The control panel takes incoming AC power from the turbine-generator,
regulating and rectifying it for DC operation.
Battery state of charge is continuously evaluated by the control panel. The
control panel matches demand with generation by modulating the motorized
valve and adjusting the turbine pressure differential.
In times of zero load and full charge capacity the system will go into standby,
stopping generation (and flow through the system) until additional power is
needed. Once load resumes the control panel will re-open the motorized valve
and the turbine will resume generation.
The control panel automatically adjusts itself for 12V or 24V operation, no
configuration is needed. In most cases the default settings and setpoints can
be left as-is and the unit can be used as shipped from the factory. Always use
caution when adjusting factory setpoints.
