Abstract
An integrated coil and fin system in a gas turbine inlet. The integrated system includes at least one wavy, non-planar, fin integrated with at least one heating/cooling coil, wherein the at least one coil is configured to heat or cool air moving through the gas turbine inlet, and wherein the at least one non-planar fin is configured to remove moisture in the air moving through the gas turbine inlet. In one embodiment, at least one hook can be included at an end or along a length of at least one non-planar fin.
Claims20
An integrated coil and fin system for use in a gas turbine inlet, the integrated coil and vane system comprising:
- at least one non-planar fin attached to at least one coil, wherein the at least one coil is configured to heat or cool air moving through the gas turbine inlet, and wherein the at least one non-planar fin is configured to remove moisture in the air moving through the gas turbine inlet.
A gas turbine inlet comprising:
- a filter housing including an integrated coil and fin system, the system including:
- at least one non-planar fin attached to at least one coil, wherein the at least one coil is configured to heat or cool air moving through the gas turbine inlet, and wherein the at least one non-planar fin is configured to remove moisture in the air moving through the gas turbine inlet;
- and
- an inlet duct fluidly connected to the housing and to a gas turbine.
