4.1 Air filtration
A large quantity of air flows through a gas turbine, to support combustion and cool the hot parts. A small quantity of this air is also directed towards the labyrinths used to seal the bearings and prevent oil leaks.
As the air is drawn from the atmosphere by the compressor, all the impurities it contains pass through the gas turbine to the exhaust. The risks of physical and chemical pollution described below make air filtration essential....

This table is limited to turbines up to 30 MW, and does not include turbines with recuperators and steam injection. Performances are indicative and given for ISO conditions (atmospheric pressure of 760 mmHg, ambient temperature of 15°C and relative air humidity of 60%), the power being that delivered to the alternator terminals. The manufacturers listed are, to the best of our knowledge, those present on...
