FILTRATION SYSTEM FOR A GAS TURBINE AIR INTAKE AND METHODS
摘要
<p>A gas turbine air filter system includes a housing having an interior, an inlet arrangement, and an outlet hood having an outlet arrangement. The inlet arrangement defines an inlet flow face for taking in unfiltered air. The outlet arrangement defines an outlet flow face for exiting filtered air. The inlet flow face and the outlet flow face are angled relative to each other. The angle can range between 45-135° relative to each other. The system includes at least first and second stages of filter element arrangements held within the interior of the housing. The first and second stages of filter element arrangements are operably sealed within the housing such that air flowing through the inlet arrangement must pass through the first and second stages of filter element arrangements before exiting through the outlet arrangement. The outlet hood is free of the first and second stages of filter element arrangements.</p>
