Abstract
A gas turbine inlet heat exchange coil assembly includes a gas turbine inlet housing formed to include an inlet and an outlet and a flow path therebetween. A plurality of adjacent coils are located in proximity to the inlet, and moveable between a closed operative position where the coils are aligned substantially in a plane so as to maximize resistance to flow along the flow path, and an open inoperative position where said coils are individually rotated substantially 90° such that the coils lie in individual, parallel planes so as to minimize resistance to flow along the flow path.
