Abstract
A system includes a modularized air inlet system. The modularized air inlet system includes an air filter house section configured to receive air via an air inlet. The modularized air inlet system also includes a transition/silencer section configured to direct the air from the modularized air inlet system, via an air outlet, into an air inlet plenum coupled to a gas turbine engine enclosure. The modularized air inlet system is configured to couple directly to the air inlet plenum and the gas turbine enclosure without an expansion joint disposed between the modularized air inlet system and the air inlet plenum.
