  • SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR TURBOMACHINE HOUSING VENTILATION
    Publication number: 20140020394
    Abstract: An air intake includes a conduit, an inlet, an inlet duct, an outlet duct, an outlet, and a fan. The inlet is configured to removably couple with the fan and to direct the second airflow in a first direction. The inlet duct is coupled to the inlet and directs the second airflow in a second direction around the conduit and a third direction into a turbomachine enclosure. The outlet duct receives the second airflow from a fourth direction substantially opposite to the third direction and directs the second airflow in the second direction. The outlet is configured to removably couple with the fan and to direct the second airflow in a fifth direction. The fan within the air intake is removably coupled to the inlet or to the outlet and is configured to positively or negatively pressurize the turbomachine enclosure with the second airflow based on the fan disposition.
