A filtration system for a gas turbine engine is provided. The filtration system may include a holding frame with a positioning element extending therefrom and a filter element for mounting within the holding frame. The frame of the filter element may include a positioning slot therein such that the positioning element extends into the positioning slot when the filter element is mounted within the holding frame.

Devices and methods for aligning filters in a holding frame

The present application provides a filtration system for a gas turbine engine. The filtration system may include a holding frame with a positioning element extending therefrom and a filtration unit for mounting within the holding frame. The filtration unit may include a positioning slot therein such that the positioning element extends through the positioning slot when the filtration unit is mounted within the holding frame.

Gas turbine filtration system with inlet filter orientation assembly

A filter arrangement for a system within which fluid is filtered and an associated method of providing the arrangement. A frame of the arrangement includes an outer periphery shape that is complementary to a shape for location of the filter arrangement therein and a plurality of filter pleat pack locations. At each filter pleat pack location the frame includes at least one portion having a saw-tooth contoured surface. A plurality of filter pleat packs each includes a plurality of pleats. Each filter pleat pack is removably located at a respective filter pleat pack location of the frame, with the pleats of the filter pleat pack mating against the saw-tooth contoured surface. A plurality of removable retainers that non-permanently hold the filter pleat packs. Each retainer has at least one saw-tooth contoured surface that mates against the pleats so that the pleats of the filter pleat pack are sandwiched.

Reverse V-cell or minipleat filter with pleat pack mechanically sealed

A filter arrangement is provided for filtering fluid flow in a turbine inlet system. The filter arrangement includes a support structure extending along an elongated axis within the turbine inlet system. A pulse or static cartridge filter for filtering a fluid flow is mounted on the support structure, with the support structure extending from an end of the cartridge filter. A pre-filter for filtering and/or coalescing the fluid flow is provided and is supported by the cartridge filter. A method of filtering fluid flow in the turbine inlet system is also provided.

Pre-filter or coalescer mounted on pulse cartridge tripod

In one aspect, a method for assembling a filtration system is provided. The method includes providing a filter including a retainer formed therewith. The method also includes coupling a gasket about the retainer such that the gasket circumscribes the retainer, such that the gasket is integrally formed with a clamp and such that the clamp is coupled to the retainer in a friction fit.
