12 Air Inlet System

12.1General Description

The gas turbine combustion process requires a steady and consistent flow of clean air. Proper gas turbine inlet air filtration is critical to gas turbine life. Careful consideration should be given to selecting the appropriate air filtration system. Solar offers several air filtration systems that conform to a broad range of operating requirements. For unenclosed packages, the turbine air inlet can be mounted on the right-hand or left-hand side of the package in a vertical or 45-degree angle to vertical position. For enclosed packages, the air inlet must be in the vertical position. Figure 25 shows typical Titan 250 air inlet and exhaust systems.

12.1.1Prefilter and Barrier Inlet Air Filter

The prefilter and barrier inlet air filter system is suitable for moderate environments. This system features vertical moisture eliminators, direct-contact prefilter elements, and high efficiency barrier filter elements. Access doors are provided in the filter housing for servicing. A weather hood and insect screens are available as options.
