Abstract
A system for use with an inlet of a gas turbine through which an airflow toward the gas turbine proceeds is provided and includes a first self-cleaning stage to remove dust, snow and ice from the airflow, a second water tight stage, disposed downstream from the first stage, to prevent aerosol droplets and aqueous solutions of deliquesced particulates, which include at least portions of the dust not removed by the first stage and which are re-released into the airflow from the first stage, from proceeding along the airflow and to remove solid particulates not removed by the first stage from the airflow, and a third water removal stage, disposed downstream from the second stage, to remove from the airflow aerosol droplets leaking from the second stage.
