A gas turbomachine inlet system (20) includes a duct member (24) having an inlet portion fluidically coupled to an outlet portion (32) through an intermediate portion (34). The inlet portion, outlet portion, and intermediate portion define a fluid flow zone (37). A throttling system (40) is arranged in the duct member at one of the inlet portion, outlet portion and intermediate portion. The throttling system is configured and disposed to selectively establish a pressure drop through the fluid flow zone. A method of controlling inlet pressure drop through an inlet system for a gas turbomachine is also described herein. |
