1.10 INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

Reliable operation and low maintenance costs for the gas turbine require that the purchaser installation designs and operating/maintenance practices be in accordance with the instructions defined in the then-current Installation Design Manual and the Operation and Maintenance Manual.

1.20 PURCHASER'S RESPONSIBILITIES

It is to be recognized that the purchaser has system responsibility for technical integration of the LMA 1500 gas turbine into a complete gas turbine system, satisfying the installation/interface requirements and recommended operation/maintenance practices defined in the then-current Installation Design Manual and Operation and Maintenance Manual. The purchaser's attention is specifically referred to, but not limited to, such system interfacing consideration s as vibration, controls, fuel quality, inlet air quality, inlet system design and construction, and gas turbine cooling.

1.30 ACCEPTANCE TEST

Each gas turbine is tested at LM Alternatives test facility to verify proper mechanical operation and compliance with guarantee performance levels. Testing is in accordance with LM Alternatives established practice for industrial gas turbines. Measurements at five test data points, spanning the entire power range, are taken to establish shaft horsepower and heat rate. Test data is corrected to the guarantee conditions. Upon completion of the test, a formal Test Acceptance Report, including copies of all original test log and data sheets, is issued by Engineering.
