Handling the turbine's
only moving part, Chancellor Henry Yang, center, this month inaugurated
the three microturbines behind him and Physical Facilities' Energy
Director Jim Dewey, left, and Mark Peppers, project manager. The
Capstone gas turbines can produce 180 kW of electricity for the
campus grid while using exhaust heat to warm the Old Gym pool.
They were partially funded by a $66,000 grant from Southern California
Gas Co. Dewey estimated that energy saved by the unit would pay
its $330,000 cost within three years.
