Scaling Exercise Recommendations Scaling exercise shows that a smaller rated machine may is commercially viable. Recommendation is a single CBM 6000 drivetrain. This architecture provides: Configuration similarity to higher ratings Bearings, Shafts, Seals and Nacelle design can accommodate higher ratings Room to grow The single 6000 architecture can increase capacity with the addition of a stacked pump. Margin to learn A smaller design will allow headroom for unanticipated loading Lower cost A smaller machine will be easier and cheaper to manufacture a prototype.
