Warnings
ES9-98 Compliance
Strict compliance with Solar specification ES 9-98 regarding air, water, fuel filtration and handling is required. Contamination allowed to enter the engine
impacts performance, accelerates degradation, and puts the unit at risk. Reference PIL 162 for fuel handling guidelines.

Fuel Superheat Requirements

The minimum fuel supply temperature (MFST) must be the largest value of the following:
• 50°F above NGL dew point
• 20°F above H2O dew point
• 130°F for Titan 250 SoLoNOx (see ES9-98)
• -20°F for a standard Solar package
• For geographic regions at risk for elemental sulfur, heating to 130°F, or at minimum provisioning for such heating, is strongly recommended.
See ES9-98 and PIL246 for guidance.
If fuel heating is not required based on this GFS run, it is highly recommended to provision space and capacity for future installation of a fuel gas heater
should issues arise.
If the surrounding temperature is less than the minimum supply temperature, the customer must pre-heat the supply line to ensure liquids do not form
in the gas, particularly when the line is not flowing. A liquid trap with a drain is required at the skid inlet. Lines should be pitched away from the skid.
The skid inlet piping must be heated by one or more of the following methods:
• Heat tracing and/or insulating supply lines (CF 42306)
• Recirculating or venting hot gas in the supply line prior to starting (CF 43304)
• Locate flowing hot gas supply line next to Solar skid
