Gas turbine engine comprising an inlet flow control arrangement

摘要

An improved gas turbine engine 100 is adapted to include an inlet flow control arrangement 116 disposed in an inlet passage 102 at least between a filter member 112 and a row of Variable Inlet Guide Vanes (VIGV), and adjacent the filter member 112, to enable pressure loss in the inlet passage 102 and supply reduced amount of inlet air to a compressor 106 to enable the reduction of power output of the gas turbine engine 100 at a low load condition.
