Taurus 70 Gas Turbine Mechanical Drive

2.1 General

Description

The Taurus 70 gas turbine mechanical drive package is completely integrated and fully
operational, equipped with the accessories and auxiliary systems required for operation.
In addition to the standard package features, a wide array of optional equipment is
available to meet customers’ installation and operation requirements. The driver package
can be combined with one or more Solar centrifugal gas compressors to form a complete

2.2 Package

Description

The Taurus 70 gas turbine package is installed on a steel base frame referred to as the
skid. The skid is a structural steel assembly with beam sections and cross members

liquid leakage. Package connection points for fuel, lube oil, air, and water are located on
the outer edge of the skid. Electrical connections are made in on-skid junction boxes.
Machined mounting surfaces on the base frame facilitate component alignment. Major
