Systems and Methods for De-Icing a Gas Turbine Engine Inlet Screen and Dehumidifying Inlet Air Filters

A system comprising:

• a compressor;
• a turbine having an exhaust;
• an inlet screen;
• a manifold coupled to the inlet screen;
• a mixing component having a first input, a second input and an output;
• a first conduit coupled to a stage of the compressor and the first input of the mixing component;
• a second conduit coupled to the exhaust and the second input of the mixing component, wherein the second conduit is adapted to extract exhaust gases through suction;
• and
• a third conduit coupled to the output of the mixing component and the manifold.

A system comprising:

• a compressor;
• a combustion system;
• a turbine;
• a turbine exhaust subsystem;
• a compressor inlet coupled to the compressor;
• an inlet screen coupled to the compressor inlet;
• a manifold coupled to the inlet screen;
• a compressor extraction subsystem coupled to a stage of the compressor, the compressor extraction subsystem adapted to extract air from the compressor;
• an exhaust extraction subsystem coupled to the turbine exhaust subsystem, the exhaust extraction subsystem adapted to extract exhaust gases using suction;
• a mixing component coupled to the compressor extraction subsystem and the exhaust extraction subsystem, the mixing component adapted to mix the air and exhaust gases to generate an air-exhaust mixture;
• and
• a first conduit coupled to the mixing component and the manifold that conveys the air-exhaust mixture to the manifold.
