Design features include aerodynamic components (inlets, impellers, scrolls and diffusers) combined with low mechanical losses and power-conserving inlet throttle control (IGV) provide up to 5% better specific power than competitive models. An integrated structural base provides a foundation for the main driver and serves as a support platform for the side-mounted lube system/reservoir. A side-mounted lube reservoir with top-mounted components and standard duplex filters ease maintenance requirements and provide continuous, uninterrupted operation. Further features include gearbox inspection covers for simple accessibility, a split pinion bearing and seal design, intercoolers for specific flow and pressure requirements, and dual condensate connections
