12 Air Inlet System
12.1 General Description
The gas turbine combustion process requires a steady and consistent flow of clean air.
Proper gas turbine inlet air filtration is critical to gas turbine life. Careful consideration
should be given to selecting the appropriate air filtration system. Solar offers several air
filtration systems that conform to a broad range of operating requirements. For
unenclosed packages, the turbine air inlet can be mounted on the right-hand or left-hand
side of the package in a vertical or 45-degree angle to vertical position. For enclosed
packages, the air inlet must be in the vertical position. Figure 25 shows typical Titan 250
air inlet and exhaust systems.

12.1.1 Prefilter and Barrier Inlet Air Filter
The prefilter and barrier inlet air filter system is suitable for moderate environments. This
system features vertical moisture eliminators, direct-contact prefilter elements, and high
efficiency barrier filter elements. Access doors are provided in the filter housing for
servicing. A weather hood and insect screens are available as options.
