| Gas turbine filters: Delta Filtration's V-Cell
pleated bagfilters are the ideal filters for gas turbine
intake in a variety of locations. Read on to learn why:
Gas turbine filters are an essential element
in the smooth running and the continued efficiency of
gas turbine engines. Utilized in such applications as
power generation, jet aircraft, helicopters and power
boats, gas turbine engines are used in many harsh environments,
from the elements of coastal and offshore settings to
unforgiving desert conditions. Thus there is a variety
of contaminants which can foul up the blades of the
turbines and seriously reduce their efficiency. The
air intake system of gas turbine engines is designed
to provide a clean, uniform airflow to the gas generator.
Control of the air intake by effective filtration to
prevent contaminants from fouling the compressor blades
is essential to maintaining performance. The Delta V-Cell
bagfilter can accomplish this.
The Delta V-Cell BagFilter :
Gas turbine air intake protected from
ingestion of harmful contaminants.
Clean, uniform air intake ensured by Delta
Filtration's V-Cell .
Maximum filtration capacity from a compact
filter unit.
Gas turbine filters are a speciality of Delta Filtration.
Our Delta V-Cell is a next generation product made especially
for the purpose of providing clean, uniform air intake.
It follows on from the success of the Delta C-Cell.
The V-Cell is a cartridge type rigid bagfilter containing
14 square metres of media in the form of eight individual
slabs of 22mm deep pleated filter fabric. The pleated
filter media provides maximum filtration capacity from
a compact filter unit. The addition of extruded polypropylene
separators to the pleated media gives a unique V configuration
which ensures low initial resistance and a longer lifespan.
The graded fibre density ensures coarse fibres upstream
and fine fibres downstream, giving optimum particle
capture characteristics.
Delta V-Cell gas turbine filters provide
great cost-effectiveness both in performance and in
disposal. This is facilitated by the filter being completed
using a 100% white polypropylene frame. This is a great
improvement over the old type metal frames which were
subject to corrosion, and consequently presented the
problem of rust particulates downstream. The polypropylene
frame not only overcomes that problem but also is able
to be completely incinerated, and so is more environmentally
friendly. As a result of this design, savings on manpower
and disposal costs of these products can be significant.
The final pleated V-Cell is extremely
durable with high compressive strength in the airflow
direction. It has been tested to a burst strength of
6250 Pa. This durability also ensures that there is
no damage to the pleats during transportation or assembly.
