CAT Titan 250 Manual De Usuario

Turbomachinery Package Specification 

250 Generator Set 

This chapter describes preservation, general installation requirements, and project 
documentation. 

Long term and short term preservation can be provided for the engine and package. The 
type of preservation required dependents upon the following: 

•  Type of transportation (sea, air, or truck) 
•  Climatic conditions during transport and storage 
•  Storage period 
•  Storage facilities 
•  Static and dynamic loads imposed during shipment 

Long-term preservation is required if: 

•  Equipment will be stored in an unimproved storage area for greater than 90 days 

before installation 

•  Transportation is by ship 
•  Transportation includes transshipment (package will go from truck to barge to 

truck, etc., e.g., rigorous loads will be encountered during shipment) 

•  Package will be exposed to severe weather conditions during transport 

Short-term preservation is required if: 

•  Equipment will be stored in an improved storage area for less than 90 days 

before installation 

•  Transportation is not by ship 
•  Transportation does not include transshipment (package will not go from truck to 

barge to truck, etc., e.g., rigorous loads will not be encountered during shipment) 

•  Package will not be exposed to severe weather conditions during transport 

 gas turbine generator sets require minimal site preparation. The Titan 250 

generator set is supplied with self-contained systems for starting, fuel, lube oil, and 
control, minimum piping and wiring connections are required for installation. All service 
connections are conveniently located on the outer edge of the skid. 

Correct mounting of the gas turbine package is vital to successful package installation 
and requires adequate preparation by the user. The site pad thickness is governed by 
soil condition and the weight of the gas turbine package, air inlet system, and exhaust 
system. Mounting pad locations and weights will differ with each package, depending 
upon selected options, and will be clearly shown on the installation drawings. The 
equipment layout should provide adequate floor space for major components with 
sufficient room around the package for routine maintenance access.
