1. INT‘ODUCTION

1.1. Pupose

This manual explains how to install a BlueGEN appliance, the latest Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) technology

manufactured by SOLIDpower Spa.

The BlueGEN appliance can be installed in two configurations:

1. Electrical generator system (with no heat recovery).

2. Co-Generation system (with heat recovery).

Depending on the installation configuration additional space may be required for hot water tanks or other

equipment.

If the installer has any concerns relating to the installation of the BlueGEN appliance, the installer should

contact SP for further advice. Contact details are shown in the Feedback section of this document.

NOTE: This installation manual does not include instructions for the installation of the fuel cell stack onto the

Fuel Cell Module. This activity is to be performed only by appropriately qualified service personnel.

European Declaration of Conformity

Certifies that this product has met European Union consumer safety, health and

environmental requirements. The appliance has been designed and built so as to

operate safely and present no danger to persons, domestic animals or property

when normally use, as defined in Article 1 of the Gas Appliance Regulation (EU)

2016/426.

1.3. Bakgoud

Fuel cells are increasingly recognised for their environmental benefits and their potential in energy efficient

distributed power generation systems. Energy utilities worldwide are facing serious problems including

demand growth, limitations of traditional power plants, fuel shortages and greenhouse emission constraints.

SP has developed a residential scale fuel cell system, the BlueGEN appliance, designed to provide a secure,

reliable and highly efficient supply of base load power.

BlueGEN is the latest in SOFC technology and operates as a grid-connected electrical generator and can vary

the output power level to suit a number of differing electricity production requirements.

The BlueGEN appliance operates on natural gas from the mains gas supply and water from the mains water

supply. Through an electrochemical reaction, the BlueGEN appliance provides both electricity for export to

the grid and heat that can be used for heating water.

Key features of the BlueGEN appliance are:

•0.5 to 1.5 kW net output of AC electrical power operating on natural gas.

•High electrical efficiency up to 55 per cent net electrical efficiency.

•Conversion of input fuel into electrical energy with negligible noise, vibration and emissions.

•Power output modulation from 33 to 100 per cent allowing flexible operation for different conditions

and installations.

•Fuel Cell Module, consisting of balance-of-plant and fuel cell stack integration, resulting in a compact

and thermally efficient design.

•Integrated heat exchanger (waste heat recovery unit) to recover the heat from the fuel cell module

allows the BlueGEN appliance to either be installed as an electric generator system or as a co-generation

system.

•Remote data access via ethernet for monitoring and control.

The main parts of the BlueGEN appliance can be seen in Figure 1 below.

SP has developed the BlueGEN appliance to operate in a safe and reliable manner. In order to do so, proper

installation is essential.

2. HEALTH AND SAFETY

2.1. OH&S euieets

The BlueGEN appliance must be operated in accordance with applicable local occupational health and safety

requirements, and the following SP recommendations:

•Ensure site is clean and tidy and there are no access restrictions.

•Use the following personal protection equipment:

osafety goggles or glasses when working on the unit.

oprotective clothing (e.g. labcoat or overalls).

osafety footwear.

ogloves and safety masks for handling chemicals or insulation.

•Hot surface gloves should be within easy access.

•Observe all warning and prohibition signs posted on the BlueGEN appliance and on the plant room (if

applicable).

•It is the installers responsibility to instruct the user in the operation and the safety devices and to give

him the user manual

Caution

Only appropriately qualified service personnel may install this appliance. Improper

installation will void the warranty.

2.2. Eegey poedues

The BlueGEN appliance is fitted with a CE approved gas safety control system. In the event of the BlueGEN

appliance operating outside its normal parameters, the safety system is designed to isolate the internal gas

supply and safely shut the system down.

2.2.1. Gas leak

The BlueGEN appliance generates deodorised natural gas internally via the desulphuriser assembly. If an

internal leak occurred, downstream of the desulphuriser, it would not be detectable by smell. It is important

that the appliance be commissioned and maintained by authorised personnel only, following approved

safety procedures.

In an emergency situation natural gas, electricity and water supply to the BlueGEN appliance are to be

isolated, only if safe to do so.
