Axial Compressor Deterioration Caused by Saltwater Ingestion
TL;DR: In this article, the axial compressor of a General Electric J85-13 jet engine was degraded by spraying atomized droplets of saltwater into the engine intake, and the results of laboratory analysis of the salt deposits are presented, providing insight into the increased surface roughness and the deposit thickness and distribution.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Performance Deterioration of Intake Air Filters for Gas Turbines in Offshore Installations
Olaf Brekke,Lars E. Bakken +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the results from an experimental investigation of the performance of gas turbine inlet air filter elements that have been in operation offshore have been presented, and performance under both dry and wet conditions is assessed.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Filtration of Gas Turbine Intake Air in Offshore Installations: The Gap Between Test Standards and Actual Operating Conditions
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed the challenges related to choosing the best filter solution for an offshore gas turbine installation based on data from offshore sites in the North Sea and evaluated the relevance of test requirements in applicable international standards and available supplier documentation based on actual operating conditions offshore.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Compressor Fouling in Gas Turbines Offshore: Composition and Sources From Site Data
TL;DR: In this article, the results of an investigation of compressor fouling in two different offshore gas turbine installations were presented, and the structure and composition of the analyzed compressor foulings were determined, and probable sources of the different elements were identified.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Accelerated Deterioration by Saltwater Ingestion in Gas Turbine Intake Air Filters
Olaf Brekke,Lars E. Bakken +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, an experimental test rig has been built in the laboratory at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) in order to increase understanding of the fundamentals related to gas turbine inlet air filtration.
