摘要:
The present application provides a method of evaluating media effectiveness in a gas turbine engine. The method may include the steps of receiving a baseline media effectiveness rating, receiving a media replacement cost, receiving a number of operating parameters from a number of sensors, based at least in part on the operating parameters and the baseline media effectiveness rating, determining a media effectiveness model, based at least in part of the media effectiveness model, determining a loss in evaporative benefit cost over time, determining a time t when the loss in evaporative benefit cost exceeds the media replacement cost, and scheduling media replacement at time t.
摘要:
The present application provides a gas turbine engine. The gas turbine engine may include a compressor, an inlet filter house positioned upstream of the compressor, and one or more inlet water separator pads positioned within the inlet filter house. The one or more inlet water separator pads may include a synthetic liquid-gas separator media.

The present application provides an inlet air system for cooling an inlet air flow to a compressor of a gas turbine engine. The inlet air system may include a wetted media pad and a drift eliminator positioned downstream of the wetted media pad with an air gap therebetween. The drift eliminator may include a fibrous media pad.
摘要:
Synthetic media pads configured to be arranged in a stack of an evaporative cooler for a gas turbine, wherein the synthetic media pads include high density synthetic media pads and low density synthetic media pads. The sides of the pads may have surface patterns, such as grooves and ridges, to provide support for the pads.
摘要:
An inlet system for a gas turbine includes an inlet air duct; a silencer disposed in the inlet air duct, the silencer including a plurality of panels with spaces between the panels; and a conduit with orifices disposed to inject inlet bleed heat into each of the spaces. A method of conditioning inlet air for a gas turbine includes flowing air through spaces between panels of a silencer in an inlet air duct of the gas turbine, and injecting inlet bleed heat through orifices and into each of the spaces.
