Turbomachinery Package Specification 

 60 Compressor Set and Mechanical Drive 

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

Long term or short term preservation can be provided for the engine and package. The 
type of preservation required is dependent on 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 

Refer to Solar’s Product Information Letter 097 “Package Preservation and Preparation 
for Shipment“ for additional guidelines. 

Long-term preservation is required if: 

•  Equipment will be stored in an unimproved storage area for greater than 6 

months 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 may be acceptable if: 

•  Equipment will be stored in an improved storage area for less than 6 months 

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 compressor sets and mechanical drives require minimal site 

preparation. The package 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.
