| 20100154631 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR REMOVING A FOREIGN OBJECT FROM AN AIRSTREAM ENTERING A TURBOMACHINE - An embodiment of the present invention provides a system for removing foreign objects from the airstream entering an inlet system of a turbomachine. This system may include an electrostatic system that may be configured to charge conductive, or partially conductive foreign objects that are in the airstream flowing through the system. This system may create an electric field to drawing the charged foreign objects, allowing for a collecting section to remove the charged foreign objects from the airstream. | 06-24-2010 |

| 20100102835 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR DETECTING A CORROSIVE DEPOSIT IN A COMPRESSOR - An embodiment of the present invention may analyze, in or near real time, a sample of effluent exiting a compressor after an offline water-wash cycle. The results of the analysis may determine the level of fouling or level of corrosive deposits on the compressor. An embodiment of the present invention may allow for a control system to receive the analysis and determine whether an additional offline water-wash cycle should be performed to reduce the level of fouling or level of at least one corrosive deposits. An embodiment of the present invention may link the control system with a remote monitoring and diagnostics center for further review of the effluent and the compressor fouling. An embodiment of the present invention may link to a mitigation process, such as, but not limiting of, an on-line water wash system, if required. | 04-29-2010 |

| 20100050873 | FILTRATION SYSTEM FOR GAS TURBINES - A system for use with an inlet of a gas turbine through which airflow toward the gas turbine proceeds is provided and includes a first stage to remove primary aerosol droplets from the airflow by coalescing the primary aerosol droplets into secondary aerosol droplets, which are larger than the primary aerosol droplets, and to remove solid particulates from the airflow, a second water tight stage, disposed downstream from the first stage, to prevent the secondary aerosol droplets and aqueous solutions of deliquesced particulates, which are not removed by the first stage and which are re-released into the airflow from the first stage, from proceeding along the airflow and to remove solid particulates not removed by the first stage from the airflow, and a third water removal stage, disposed downstream from the second stage, to remove from the airflow the remaining secondary aerosol droplets leaking from the first and second stages. | 03-04-2010 |
| 20100054919 | FILTRATION SYSTEM FOR GAS TURBINES - A system for use with an inlet of a gas turbine through which an airflow toward the gas turbine proceeds is provided and includes a first self-cleaning stage to remove dust, snow and ice from the airflow, a second water tight stage, disposed downstream from the first stage, to prevent aerosol droplets and aqueous solutions of deliquesced particulates, which include at least portions of the dust not removed by the first stage and which are re-released into the airflow from the first stage, from proceeding along the airflow and to remove solid particulates not removed by the first stage from the airflow, and a third water removal stage, disposed downstream from the second stage, to remove from the airflow aerosol droplets leaking from the second stage. | 03-04-2010 |
| 20110209622 | FILTER DEVICE FOR USE WITH MACHINE - Solutions for improving efficiency of a filter device for use with a machine requiring clean airflow are disclosed. In one embodiment, the filter device includes: a filter housing about an airflow inlet of the machine, wherein the filter housing comprises an air-permeable filter media configured to filter particles from multi-directional airflow moving through a substantial portion of the filter housing into the airflow inlet. | 09-01-2011 |
| 20120000168 | INLET AIR FILTRATION SYSTEM - Embodiments of the present invention provide an inertial filtration system for air-ingesting machines. The inertial filter | 01-05-2012 |

| 20100011886 | SYSTEM FOR SAMPLING THE AIRFLOW ENTERING THE COMPRESSOR OF A TURBOMACHINE - An embodiment of the present invention provides an air sampling system for measuring corrosives within an airstream flowing within an inlet system. This air sampling system may include an air sampling unit with a plurality of sampling coupons secured within. Parts of the air sampling system may be externally mounted to the inlet system, allowing for an operator to access the sampling coupons, while the inlet system operates. In operation, an embodiment of the present invention has a sampling line connected to the air sampling system; the airstream flowing within the sampling line passes over the sampling coupons and then returns to the inlet system. | 01-21-2010 |

| 20120068851 | MEMBER INTEGRITY MONITORING SYSTEM AND METHOD - A monitoring system for monitoring the integrity of a member disposed within a machine includes an image analyzer configured to receive image data from an imaging device and to determine an amount of radiation incident on one or more of one or more pixels of the imaging device. The monitoring system also includes a monitor coupled to the image analyzer and configured to generate an alarm in the event an amount of radiation on one or more of the one or more pixels exceeds a limit. | 03-22-2012 |
