Inlet filter housing having components including portions of filter system that collectively form housing

A gas turbine system, comprising:

• a turbine section;
• a combustor operatively coupled to the turbine section;
• a compressor operatively coupled to the combustor;
• and
• an inlet filter housing operatively coupled to the compressor, the inlet filter housing including:
• an outer enclosure in which a plurality of components of the inlet filter housing are disposed, wherein each of the plurality of components is disposed within a respective external structure of a respective International Organization of Standards (ISO) shipping container, and wherein each of the plurality of components includes at least one permanent outer wall that forms a portion of the outer enclosure;
• an upstream end through which fluid selectively enters the inlet filter housing;
• a downstream end in fluid communication with the upstream end and through which fluid exits the inlet filter housing during operation;
• a housing flow path defined by the outer enclosure and extending from the upstream end to the downstream end, wherein each of the plurality of components includes at least two removable walls that are removed in an assembled position to eliminate internal walls from the housing flow path, and wherein an axial extent of the housing flow path is defined in part by a first of the plurality of components and a second of the plurality of components that is directly downstream of the first of the plurality of components, a downstream end of the first of the plurality of components being directly connected to an upstream end of the second of the plurality of components;
• a filtering system disposed in the plurality of components;
• and
• a conditioning system disposed in the plurality of components.

An inlet filter housing, comprising:

• a plurality of components that are each disposed within a respective external structure of a respective International Organization of Standards (ISO) shipping container and that collectively form, in an assembled position, a single filtering and conditioning system for filtering and conditioning a fluid along a housing flow path defined by an outer enclosure of the inlet filter housing, the housing flow path extending from an upstream end of the inlet filter housing that is in fluid communication with ambient atmosphere to a downstream end of the inlet filter housing,
• wherein each component of the plurality of components includes at least one permanent outer wall that forms a portion of the outer enclosure, each component of the plurality of components further including at least two removable walls that are removed in the assembled position to eliminate internal walls from the housing flow path,
• wherein the plurality of components includes at least one first component including a weather protection device, vanes downstream of the weather protection device, and first filtration media downstream of the vanes,
• wherein, in the assembled position, an upstream end of the at least one first component is disposed at the upstream end of the inlet filter housing, the at least one first component thereby defining a first portion of the housing flow path in the assembled position, the first portion of the housing flow path extending from the upstream end of the at least one first component to the downstream end of the at least one first component, and
• wherein the plurality of components includes at least one second component including an upstream end connected to the downstream end of the at least one first component in the assembled position, and the at least one second component forms a second portion of the housing flow path extending from the upstream end of the at least one second component to a downstream end of the at least one second component in the assembled position.
