    The service bulletin discusses an issue with the exhaust flapper on the Capstone Model 330 MicroTurbines. Specifically, the exhaust flapper may not fully open if the enclosure is not completely closed, which can be caused if the cart is not fully inserted into the enclosure, if the enclosure is bent or damaged, or if the exhaust stack is misaligned. The corrective action is to ensure the cart is fully pushed into the enclosure and check that the exhaust flapper can fully open without interference from the enclosure when troubleshooting rough or failed starts.

    SERVICE BULLETIN

    Subject: Exhaust Flapper Alignment

    Affected: Capstone Model 330 MicroTurbines

    Abstract: The exhaust flapper on the MicroTurbine may not


    fully open if the enclosure is not completely closed.

    Description: When the exhaust flapper is not properly


    aligned in the center of the cutout in the
    enclosure, the enclosure may interfere with
    the opening of the flapper during
    MicroTurbine operation. This may be
    caused by a cart which is not fully pushed
    into the enclosure, a bent or damaged
    enclosure, or a misaligned exhaust stack.

    Corrective Action: When rolling the cart back into the


    enclosure, ensure that the cart is fully
    inserted into the enclosure and check that
    the exhaust flapper can fully open without
    interfering with the enclosure.
    Trouble shooting of rough or failed starts
    should include an inspection of the exhaust
    flapper clearance as described above.
    Surfaces may be hot. Allow sufficient time
    for the unit to cooldown prior to checking
    the exhaust system. Isolate (turn off)
    electrical power and fuel to the
    MicroTurbine prior to servicing.
