The combustion air module includes a combustion air plenum for providing filtered combustion air to a turbine mounted on a separate transport. The transport further includes a ventilation air module mounted to the base frame. The ventilation air module provides filtered ventilation air to an enclosure for the turbine mounted on the separate transport. The ventilation air module includes a ventilation air compartment, a ventilation air duct, and a ventilation air plenum. The ventilation air duct is in the base frame and extends below the ventilation air compartment, the combustion air module, and the ventilation air plenum. The ventilation air duct couples the ventilation air compartment to the ventilation air plenum. ## Claims ### Claim 1 An air handling transport comprising: a base frame; a combustion air module mounted to the base frame;
