The unit is provided as a completely integrated module ready for installation. The gas turbine engine, gearbox, generator, control systems, fuel system, lubrication system, start system, and ancillary equipment needed for site operation on natural gas are included with each unit.
Each package includes a sound attenuated enclosure for the turbine generator and a PCR control building to house all generator and turbine control functions. Approximate overall dimensions are: 32 feet, 0 inches (9753mm) long8 feet, 0 inches (2438mm) wide. Approximate height of package is 10 feet, 8 ¼ inches (3258mm) and may vary with ancillary equipment and generator selection. Four (4) lifting gussets are provided on each section. Drip pans are welded  beneath the package frame to collect potential liquid spills. The
drip pans also provided a tight seal for containment of fire suppression agent for packages supplied with an enclosure.
Tube fittings. All tube connections use compression fittings. Tubing and fittings are 316 stainless
steel. Piping. Package piping is designed and fabricated to ANSI B31.3. Electrical System. The Taurus 60 IPG generator set is designated to comply with the
requirements of the National Electrical Code and is intended to be installed in a non-hazardous location per the NEC. Unless otherwise noted, package motors and heaters are rated for 460 VAC, 60 Hertz, 3 phase. Motor space heater are provided for motors over 5 hp (3.75 kW) and are rated for 120 VAC, 60 Hertz, 1 phase. (50Hz Adaptation is OPTIONAL). Fire Detection and Suppression System. The gas turbine enclosure will be provided with ultra violet fire detectors and fire monitoring system. The fire suppression system agent is CO2. In the event of a fire being detected within the package genset, the unit will shutdown, the enclosure
ventilator louvers will close, and horns will sound.
Gas Detection System. Gas detection monitors are provided in the turbine enclosure. Upon detection of 20% LEL, alarms will sound. Upon detection of 75% LEL, the unit will shut down and all louvers will open, and all ventilator fans will activate.

II. GAS TURBINE ENGINE
1. The Taurus 60 gas turbine engine is a single shaft axial flow engine. The output gearbox, including accessory drive pads, is a separate, close-coupled unit
located at the inlet end of the turbine.
2. The engine assembly consist of:
3. Gear unit with accessory drive pads
4. Air inlet collector with flexible flange connection
5. Axilly split case in the vertical plane, eleven-stage axil flow compressor with variable temperatures
6. Geometry control on inlet guide vanes and first two rows of stators
7. Annular Sol
