Abstract
A system includes a gas turbine system, including an air intake system that includes a housing, a first plurality of air conditioning coils, a second plurality of air conditioning coils that is downstream relative to the first plurality, and a baffle extending between each of the first and second pluralities of air conditioning coils, wherein the baffle is configured to direct an air flow through the first or second pluralities of air conditioning coils in a closed position, and the baffle is configured to enable air flow to bypass the first and second pluralities of coils in an opened position.
Claims20
A gas turbine system, comprising:
- an air intake system, comprising:
- a housing;
- a first plurality of air conditioning coils;
- a second plurality of air conditioning coils, wherein the second plurality of air conditioning coils is downstream relative to the first plurality of air conditioning coils;
- and
- a baffle extending between each of the first and second pluralities of air conditioning coils, wherein the baffle is configured to direct an air flow through the first or second pluralities of air conditioning coils in a closed position, and the baffle is configured to enable the air flow to bypass the first and second pluralities of air conditioning coils in an opened position.
A system, comprising:
- an air intake system, comprising:
- a first plurality of air conditioning coils positioned at a first axial position within a housing;
- a second plurality of air conditioning coils positioned at a second axial position within the housing, wherein the second axial position is downstream of the first axial position;
- and
- a first baffle extending between the first plurality of air conditioning coils and the second plurality of air conditioning coils, wherein the first baffle is configured to direct an air flow through the first or second pluralities of air conditioning coils in a closed position, and the first baffle is configured to enable the air flow to bypass the first and second pluralities of air conditioning coils in an opened position.
A gas turbine system, comprising:
- a compressor;
- an air intake system configured to supply a conditioned air flow to the compressor, the air intake system comprising:
- a housing;
- an air filter configured to filter an air flow;
- a first plurality of air conditioning coils positioned at a first axial position within a housing, wherein the first plurality of air conditioning coils is configured to condition the air flow to generate the conditioned air flow;
- a second plurality of air conditioning coils positioned at a second axial position within the housing, wherein the second axial position is downstream of the first axial position, and the second plurality of air conditioning coils is configured to condition the air flow to generate the conditioned air flow;
- and
- a first baffle extending between the first plurality of air conditioning coils and the second plurality of air conditioning coils, wherein the first baffle is configured to direct an air flow through the first or second pluralities of air conditioning coils in a closed position, and the first baffle is configured to enable the air flow to bypass the first and second pluralities of air conditioning coils in an opened position.
