Successful Selection and Operation of Gas Turbine Inlet Filtration Systems

A gas turbine inlet filtration system is important for successful operation. The filtration system minimizes the occurrence of foreign object damage, erosion, fouling, and corrosion. The selection of the inlet filtration system is a challenging process which involved choosing multiple filtration stages based on the desired performance of the gas turbine and the local operating environment. This...

Durability Challenges for Next Generation of Gas Turbine Engine Materials

Aggressive fuel burn and carbon dioxide emission reduction goals for future gas turbine engines will require higher overall pressure ratio, and a significant increase in turbine inlet temperature. These goals can be achieved by increasing temperature capability of turbine engine hot section materials and decreasing weight of fan section of the engine. NASA is currently developing several advanc...
