Abstract: This disclosure proposes a new structure for pre-filter devices, and filtration systems in general, that facilitates tasks necessary to maintain performance of pre-filter banks in the filtration system. Embodiments of this structure allow the pre-filter devices to translate on corresponding structural members that make up the supporting structure of the pre-filter bank. When in position, the proposed pre-filter devices can mate with adjacent pre-filter devices to form a substantially unitary structure that prohibits fluid from flowing unfiltered to areas downstream of the filtration system.

Abstract: An air processing assembly is provided. The assembly includes at least one filter element that includes a filter media having a first end and a second end spaced a predefined distance from the first end. A channel is defined within the filter media, wherein the channel extends from the filter media first end to the filter media second end. The channel defines a flow path for a solid desiccant, wherein air being channeled through the assembly is filtered via the filter media and moisture is substantially removed from the air via the solid desiccant.

Abstract: According to one aspect of the invention, a method for conditioning air received by a power generation system includes flowing ventilation air through a turbine system to control a temperature of the turbine system and receiving the ventilation air from the turbine system and mixing the ventilation with an ambient air to form an intake air to be directed to a compressor, wherein a temperature of the ventilation air is greater than the ambient air.
