When you operate in unpredictable conditions but the world relies on you for stable power, you need intelligent solutions that help you stay in control.
Considering 98% of your turbine input is ambient air, we believe in understanding your environment to offer optimized protection. Air filtration offers protection that is invisible to the eye but has significant impacts, making it difficult but critical to understand. Without the right tools, how can you know if the filters do what they are supposed to?
Learn how by visiting our GT filtration lab, where you can improve your air inlet filtration and gas turbine knowledge through intensive theoretical and hands-on lab analysis.
Visiting the Test & Learn Center is a great way to understand how to add significant financial and operational benefits to your organization, while minimizing any risk associated with changes thanks due to the in-depth testing and data analysis.
COURSE OUTLINE
OBJECTIVES
- Understand the basic theory of air filters and gas turbines.
- Identify your environmental/site conditions in order to determine the types of contaminants that areaffecting your gas turbine.
- Describe the principles of engine degradation (erosion, fouling, and corrosion), and how to mitigatethese risks with a well-designed inlet system appropriate for your site conditions.
- Explain how to design an inlet system according to your site conditions.
