Abstract
A filter assembly for a gas turbine system includes a filter element configured to remove entrained particles from air which passes through the filter element in a first direction toward a central air passageway. A motion generator arranged to rotate the filter element about a longitudinal axis extending in an airflow direction of the air passageway to cause particles accumulated on the filter element to fall downwardly away from the filter element due to gravity.
