What filter is used in gas turbine?

Gas turbines typically use several types of filters to ensure clean air enters the combustion chamber, enhancing performance and efficiency. The main types include:

1. Inlet Air Filters: These remove dust, dirt, and other particulates from the air before it enters the turbine. Common types are:

   - Panel Filters: Made of fibrous materials or synthetic media, used for coarse filtration.

   - Bag Filters: Provide higher dust-holding capacity and are suitable for fine filtration.

2. Fuel Filters: These remove impurities from the fuel before it is injected into the combustion chamber. They may include:

   - Coalescer Filters: Separate water from fuel and capture particulates.

   - Micron Filters: Remove finer particles.

3. Oil Filters: Used to clean the lubricating oil used in the turbine’s bearings and other components.

Regular maintenance and replacement of these filters are crucial for the efficient and reliable operation of gas turbines, as they help prevent wear and damage to the turbine components.
