Modern Approach to Gas Turbine Air/Water Intake Filtration - carrying on from the Paper presented at PowerGen’11

摘要

Gas Turbine Air Intake Filtration (AIF hereafter) has become a very popular topic in view of the risks and costs provided by letting dirt and corrosive and erosive particles through to the compressor and to the GT hot parts. GT end-users are exposed to the risk of compressor fouling due to salt and submicron soot oil particles (from Power Plants exhaust, cars and environmental smog), as well as to the risk of compressor failure due to tight tolerances in F-class and aeroderivative machines.
