Abstract
The present embodiments disclose a method of running an air inlet system upstream of one or more inlet air filters of a device protected by air filtration, wherein the method comprises: regulating the relative air humidity of the inlet air at the one or more inlet air filters in dependence of the inlet air filters differential pressure.
Claims18
A method of running an air inlet of a device protected by air filtration,
- wherein the relative air humidity is set by means of a cooling system,
- wherein the cooling system includes two cooling stages,
- wherein the first cooling stage of the cooling system comprises a first stage fogging system upstream of one or more inlet air filters that provides inlet air cooling, and
- wherein the second cooling stage of the cooling system comprises a second stage fogging system downstream of the one or more inlet air filters that provides supplemental cooling to the first stage fogging system,
- wherein the method comprises:
- regulating the relative air humidity of the inlet air by the first stage fogging system at the one or more inlet air filters in dependence of the differential pressure of the respective inlet air filter, and
- regulating supplemental cooling by the second stage fogging system to the wet bulb temperature of the inlet air.
4 more elements
A system for reducing inlet air temperature of a device protected by air filtration by means of one or more inlet air filters, comprising:
- a cooling system including two cooling stages,
- wherein the first cooling stage of the cooling system comprises a first stage fogging system upstream of one or more inlet air filters that provides inlet air cooling, wherein a first control system controls cooling at the one or more inlet air filters in dependence of the inlet air filters differential pressure to achieve a set relative humidity of the inlet air;
- and
- wherein the second cooling stage of the cooling system comprises a second stage fogging system downstream of the one or more inlet air filters that provides supplemental cooling to the first stage fogging system, wherein a second control system controls supplemental cooling to the wet bulb temperature of the inlet air.
