Gas Turbine Air Filters

A gas turbine's inlet air filtering system is critical to its proper operation. The filtration system keeps dangerous particles out of the gas turbine, which can cause problems including FOD, erosion, fouling, and corrosion. If these concerns are not addressed, the gas turbine's operational life and performance will be shortened. Multiple filtration stages are used in today's filtration systems. Each stage is chosen depending on the local operating conditions and the gas turbine's performance goals. Choosing these systems can be a difficult task. This paper covers [1] the characteristics of filters and filter systems, [2] a review of the many types of filters, [3] a detailed look at the various environments in which the gas turbine can operate, [3] a process for evaluating the site where the gas turbine will be or is installed, and [2] a method to compare various filter system options using life cycle cost analysis.

YouMats provides you air intake applications, Gas Turbine Air Intake Filter cartridges are modern and dependable. Even in the most polluted conditions, they offer high-efficiency filtration of dust and other impurities. Typically, these are constructed from a polyester and cellulose blend, as well as Nanofibrous media. These materials are substantially more pleatable and physically stable.
