A system, as well as associated methods, for increasing the efficiency of a gas turbine including an inlet assembly and a compressor may include a housing configured to channel airstream towards the inlet assembly, an air treatment module positioned at a proximal end the housing, and at least one air conditioning module mounted downstream of the air treatment module for adjusting the temperature of the airstream entering the compressor. The air treatment module may include a plurality of inlet air filters and at least one blower configured to pressurize the air entering the air treatment module.

An apparatus and method are provided for an air filter configured to be mounted onto an air inlet of an internal combustion engine. The air filter comprises a first end cap configured to couple with a base which is configured to support a conventional air filter and provide an interface between the conventional air filter and the air inlet. A filter medium which is relatively thicker than the conventional air filter is configured to remove particulate matter and other contaminates from an incoming airstream. A second end cap is configured to couple with a cover which is configured to fasten the conventional air filter and the base onto the air inlet, such that the incoming airstream is directed through the filter medium. The air filter is configured to be installed in place of the conventional air filter without necessitating alteration of the base and cover.

An air cleaner assembly for filtering intake air for a power plant can include a filter cartridge disposed within a housing of the air cleaner assembly, a precleaner assembly including at least one particle separator for separating particulates from an airflow stream and a scavenge port for discharging the separated particulates, the precleaner assembly being located upstream of the filter cartridge, a scavenge system for evacuating the separated particulates out of the scavenge port, the scavenge system including an electric motor coupled to an fan, an input sensor generating an input signal relating to a parameter associated with one or more of the precleaner assembly, the air cleaner assembly, a power plant receiving air from the air cleaner assembly, and a vehicle associated with the power plant, and a controller for operating the speed of the scavenge system based on the input signal from the input sensor.

An air cleaner for an internal combustion engine is disclosed. The air cleaner may include a housing defining an interior and having a first end and a second end opposite the first end. The housing may include an air inlet configured to be fluidly coupled to an air intake of the internal combustion engine and an air outlet configured to be fluidly coupled to a compressor of the internal combustion engine. The housing may include a general cylindrical shaped section extending from the first end and an inverse taper section located distally from the generally cylindrical shaped section and extending towards the second end. A diameter of the inverse taper section may increase from a first end towards the second end.

An air cleaner includes an intake filter seated on an air cleaner body, an air cleaner cover spaced apart from the intake filter and coupled to the air cleaner body, and a cover rigidity reinforcement member detachably coupled to the intake filter and configured to restrict displacement toward the intake filter. The intake filter includes a non-woven fabric configured to filter foreign matters of introduced outside air, and a filter frame surrounding and fixing a circumference of the non-woven fabric.

A filter element includes first filter media, second filter media, a frame, and a seal member. The frame is coupled to the first filter media and the second filter media, the frame securing the first filter media and the second filter media into a V-shape. The seal member is attached to and extends from the frame. The seal member includes a U-shaped channel structured to receive a ridge of a housing when the filter element is installed in the housing. The seal member is structured to form a seal between the filter element and the housing when the filter element is installed in the housing.

A combined mass airflow sensor and hydrocarbon trap is provided for absorbing evaporative hydrocarbon emissions from an air intake duct of an internal combustion engine. The combined mass airflow sensor and hydrocarbon trap comprises a duct that supports a hydrocarbon absorbing sheet in an unfolded configuration within a housing. The duct communicates an airstream from an air filter to the air intake duct during operation of the internal combustion engine. An opening in the housing receives a mass airflow sensor into the duct, such that the mass airflow sensor is disposed within the airstream. Guide vanes extending across the duct reduce air turbulence within the airstream passing by the mass airflow sensor. Ports disposed along the duct allow the evaporative hydrocarbon emissions to be drawn into the interior and arrested by the hydrocarbon absorbing sheet when the internal combustion engine is not operating.

A power generation transport includes a gas turbine, an inlet plenum coupled to an intake of the gas turbine, a generator driven by the gas turbine, and an air intake and exhaust module including an air inlet filter housing, an intake air duct coupled to the housing at a first end and to the inlet plenum at a second end, and an exhaust collector coupled to an exhaust of the gas turbine. The transport further includes at least one base frame. The frame mounts and aligns the gas turbine, the inlet plenum, the generator, and the air intake and exhaust module. The intake air duct is mounted on the base frame so as to be disposed underneath the gas turbine, and extend along the base frame from an exhaust end side of the gas turbine to an intake end side, in a longitudinal direction of the power generation transport.

An air filtration system is coupled to an inlet of an enclosure of or to a piece of equipment. The air filtration system is coupled to the enclosure at the air inlet such that air entering the enclosure through the air inlet passes through the air filtration system. The air filtration system includes a frame assembly. The frame assembly includes an outer frame and a support mesh. The outer frame is coupled to the enclosure. The air filtration system includes a door assembly. The door assembly includes a door frame and a door support mesh. The door assembly is received by and mechanically coupled to the frame assembly. The air filtration system includes filter media positioned in an interior of the air filtration system defined by the frame assembly and the door assembly.

A method for manufacturing an electrified air filter for an intake system of an engine of a vehicle; the manufacturing method comprises the steps of: manufacturing an outer reinforcement mesh and an inner reinforcement mesh; manufacturing a filtering material panel; placing the reinforcement meshes on opposite surfaces of the filtering material panel so as to form a unit; bending the unit in a wave shape; and coupling the wave-shaped unit to a peripheral frame; externally coating the wires of said outer reinforcement mesh with an outer insulation; placing two strips of conductive metal material at the opposite ends of the outer reinforcement mesh; welding the two strips to the ends of the warp wires; and cutting each strip by means of through cuts so as to create spaces and hence obtain from the strip a succession of collectors that are separate from one another.
