System and method for removing a foreign object from an airstream entering a turbomachine

摘要

An embodiment of the present invention provides a system for removing foreign objects from the airstream entering an inlet system (100) of a turbomachine. This system may include an electrostatic system (150) that may be configured to charge conductive, or partially conductive foreign objects that are in the airstream flowing through the system (150). This system (150) may create an electric field to drawing the charged foreign objects, allowing for a collecting section (160) to remove the charged foreign objects from the airstream.
