Abstract: Inlet filtration systems are designed to protect industrial gas turbines from air borne particles and foreign objects, thereby improving the quality of air for combustion and reducing component fouling. Filtration systems ...

Abstract: Gas turbines are fitted with rolling element bearings, which transfer loads and supports the shafts. The interaction between the rotating and stationary parts in the bearing causes a conversion of some of the power into ...

Abstract: Gas turbine (GT) operators are often met with the challenge of utilizing and making meaning of the vast measurement data collected from machine sensors during operation. This can easily be about 576 أ— 106 data points ...

Abstract: Industrial gas turbines are susceptible to compressor fouling, which is the deposition and accretion of airborne particles or contaminants on the compressor blades. This paper demonstrates the blade aerodynamic effects of ...

Abstract: Accounting for the impact of uncaptured particles that cause compressor fouling and subsequently performance degradation when a filter system is in place is often ignored when evaluating the performance of filtration ...

Abstract: Studies have shown that online compressor washing of gas turbine engines slows down the rate of fouling deterioration during operation. However, for most operators, there is a balancing between the performance improvements ...

Abstract: The development of gas turbine combustors is expected to consider the effects of radiation heat transfer in modeling. However, this is not always the case in many studies that neglect this for adiabatic conditions. The ...
