ABSTRACT:
A method of removing moisture from inlet air flowing to a gas turbine. The method comprises the steps of providing a housing for supporting a primary air filter. The housing is operably connected with the gas turbine. A hood connected with the housing is provided. The hood has a surface disposed at an acute angle relative to horizontal. Inlet air flow is directed into a preliminary filter supported above the hood and extending in a downward direction. The preliminary filter comprises media capable of separating moisture from the inlet air flowing through the preliminary filter at an exterior portion of the preliminary filter. Separated moisture agglomerates into a drop incapable of being carried by the flow of inlet air so the drop falls onto the hood to be directed out of the flow of inlet air.
