Abstract

An ambient air intake duct of a static gas turbine is provided, having at least one filter, which is arranged in the intake duct, for cleaning the ambient air (A) that can flow through the intake duct. A method for operating a static gas turbine which is equipped with a filter for cleaning the ambient air (A) is also provided. To rapidly provide a higher level of gas turbine power to a generator, it is provided that, by means of a bypass or by means of flaps arranged downstream of the filter, partially to completely unfiltered ambient air (A) can temporarily flow into the compressor inlet.
