Gas turbines are the leading choice for additional capacity in the U.S. and Europe. As a result, in 2015 installed gas turbines will be capable of generating 1.3 million MW of electricity. This large and growing installed base has generated a substantial market for turbine components, steam cycle components, intake air filters and treatment chemicals. A number of McIlvaine publications forecast these expenditures and track the individual plant activity.

HEPA Air Filtration Technology Keeps Compressor Blades Clean
Combustion turbine operators generally experience turbine fouling from airborne particles passing through existing inlet air filters. Fouling can be caused by the particle capture limitations of conventional F-class (EN779:1998) or MERV-class (ASHRAE 52.2) filters. The consequence is reduced performance of the turbine operation.

Nanofiber Media Performance in Application to Motor Vehicle Air Filtration
The function of air filtration systems in motor vehicles is to improve air quality and cleanliness in car interior, control the respirable particle concentration in the operator’s cabin, and reduce the dust concentration in the engine intake air to an acceptable level. In these applications, limited space is available for the air filtration systems. Therefore, filters are designed in smaller packages, resulting in higher aerosol velocities through the filters. Such high aerosol velocities may cause dust reentrainment leading to an increase in the amount of dust penetrating the filter. Moreover, motor vehicle environments are extremely varied and these environmental and operational conditions influence filter performance.

Recent Development in Heavy Duty Engine Air Filtration and the Role of Nanofiber Filter Media
The development of an engine air filter is based on filter performance requirements, vehicle’s operational environment, available space, filter media properties, and production technology. The design process includes analyses of theoretical and empirical models describing filter media performance and aerosol flow in filter housings and through filter elements. Filter media are carefully selected based upon these models and simplified laboratory tests. The filter element design is evaluated in great detail through a series of laboratory and field experiments.

Nanofiber technology, i.e., the fabrication of very small fibers typically having a diameter of less than 1 micron, has been known and practiced for many years. This report highlights the drawbacks of the electrospinning process as compared to a new nanofiber coating process. Further discussed are the advantages of using a nanofiber coating in filtration applications to improve depth filtration and pulse-cleaning ability. Introduced here is a next-generation nanofiber technology specifically designed to enhance filtration media.

HEPA an Alternative to Compressor Washing
About 10 manufacturers are actively pursuing GT owner/operators for their replacement filter business. But only W L Gore & Associates Inc, Elkton, Md, seems focused on HEPA filters at present. Perhaps the others believe the cost hurdle is too difficult to overcome: Turbine air filters often are considered a commodity with price the deciding factor in the selection process. Gore says its filter media offers a significantly lower pressure drop and longer effective lifetime than competitors’ products.

This paper discusses the use of HEPA filtration technologies to reduce fouling of compressor blades and consequential power loss. The compressor of a gas turbine consumes a significant amount of energy during operation; consequently, the efficiency of the compressor is very important to maintain optimum performance and has a huge impact on the machine thermal efficiency, power output and its long term component health.
