START-UP AND OPERATION
4.1
IGNITION AND START-UP PROCEDURE
WARNING!
Before initiating start-up, make sure that the Power Unit output wires are
connected to the 6720 Voltage Limiter input.
Before attempting to start the Model 8550-RU TEG, make sure to review and understand the
Electrical Output Characteristics in Figure 32 and the Terms and Acronyms in Section 2.1.
Before starting the TEG:
Ensure that the fuel system has been properly installed as outlined i
n Section 3.5
Review the Basic Wiring Diagram in Figure 33
, identify the
various components and find their
location on the TEG system.
Review the operations of the 6720 Voltage Limiter
in Section 8
and understand how to adjust the
voltage.
Ensure that the Customer Load is disconnected.
Remove both the positive and negative load wires at Terminals 2 and 4 of Terminal Block TB-1.
This will also need to be done for power adjustments.
NOTE: Use the Start-up Data Sheet located at the end of this manual during the start-up process.
It helps simplify starting, heating up, and making power adjustments.
4.1.1
DETERMINE SET POWER
Determine the required Set Power before proceeding with Start-up. Set Power is the power to which
the TEG must be set at your ambient conditions so that it generates Rated Power when the ambient
conditions return to standard. To determine Set Power:
1.
Refer to Table 1
or
and follow these steps to determine the Corrected Air Temperature:
a)
In the first row of figures, where ambient air temperatures at 0 Wind Speed are
listed
, find
the column with the current ambient temperature of the TEG’s installation site.
b)
Move down the column to find the cell in the same row as the expected wind speed.
c)
The cell where Air Temperature and Wind Speed meet is the corrected air temperature.
For example, if the air temperature is 50°F (10°C) and the wind speed is 12.4 mph (20 kph), then
the corrected air temperature is 27°F (-3°C).
Record the corrected air temperature in the Start-up Data Sheet.
