Pressure transmitters sense the pressure difference between the outside air and the combustion air inlet plenum. For example, on a GE LM6000, if the differential pressure reaches −5 in-Wg ...

Since turbines are mass flow machines with a volumetrically limited intake, less-dense intake air results in degradation of power output and increase in engine fuel consumption.

Gas turbine engines operate best when the air is flowing smoothly through the engine. In reality, the flow within a compressor is quite complex, especially as flow near the compressor blade tips ...

Recently, gas turbines have gained significant interest in the generation of electricity that can be used in chemical plants and refineries. There are four major types of gas turbines, as mentioned ...

The first turbine engines tested at the depot took place in 1983. In 2010, updated dynamometers and control rooms were constructed, and turbine engine testing continued in its new home.

For an up-close look at the clear current PRO and how an inlet filter can help turbine performance, visit our expert team at the CLARCOR Industrial Air booth No. 5153 at the POWER-GEN ...
