INLET SYSTEM

Inlet system consists of

Evaporative cooler

Filter house

Compressor Bleed heating

Inlet Silencer duct

Inlet casing -IGV

Evaporative cooler

Lowering the compressor inlet temperature can be

accomplished by
installing an evaporative cooler or inlet chiller in the inlet

ducting downstream of the inlet filters.

Evaporative cooling is limited to ambient temperatures and

above because of the potential for icing the compressor.
Effectiveness is a measure of how close the cooler exit
temperature approaches the ambient wet bulb temperature.
Chillers, unlike evaporative coolers, are not limited by the
ambient wet bulb temperature.

Inlet bleed heating

The Compressor Bleed Inlet Bleed Heating system involves recalculation

of higher temperature compressor discharge air to the compressor inlet
used for the following three main purposes :
1 To prevent conditions necessary for the formation of ice on the first stage
stator blades.
2 To extend emission compliance to lower loads by allowing exhaust
temperature control to occur at lower inlet guide vane angles.
3 To provide sufficient compressor operating margin by reducing the
compressor pressure ratio and by heating the compressor inlet air.
