Figure 26. Typical Taurus 60 Medium Velocity Air Inlet System13.1.5Insect Screens

Optional insect screens can be installed on the air inlet filters (except for self-cleaning filters). This option is used when large numbers of insects are present. The screen is designed to reduce the velocity of the air stream sufficiently to allow most insects to fly away. Use of the screen helps to avoid clogging and premature filter replacement. During cold weather operation, the screens should be removed and stored due to a potential for ice or snow to clog the screens.

13.1.6Air Inlet Gas Detection

Gas detection in the air inlet system can be provided with either one or three gas detectors. For enclosed packages, the signals from the detectors are integrated into the enclosure’s fire and gas system via that system’s local network. For unenclosed packages, the detectors provide a 4-20mA signal directly to the control system.

13.1.7Air Inlet Silencer

Optional air inlet silencers can be incorporated into the air inlet ducting to reduce noise levels. Typical installations include one air inlet silencer..

13.1.8Air Inlet Ducting and Support

An optional support structure and ducting can be provided for offskid support of the air inlet filter and silencer assembly. Attaching hardware and a tube of sealant are provided for one flange per duct.
